Spelljamming knockaround up

Post by **Orleron** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 4:11 am

If you ftp to orleron.com and log in as anonymous, you can get the hak we're using for the soon-to-be spelljammer server for CoPaP.

I'm also running a test mod at orleron.com:5121 with no password. It's still very buggy because it's at an in-between stage for some code, but you can still get a good idea of how the space battles will look like.

Feel free to try it out.

I'm not able to connect to the server. Is anyone else having trouble? (I got the haks fine)

Yup I'm timing out as well.

Post by **Orleron** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 1:43 pm

hmm ok, must be the firewall. I'll look at that tonight.

Post by **Orleron** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 11:27 pm

See if you can log in now.

Not sure if anyone else made it in but I still getting (Timed Out).

EDIT: Even when I put in the correct address

I get (Timed Out)

I am getting a timeout as well.

arrgh... no idea why it's not working. Try the IP version:

68.196.73.117:5121

Vipact · Post by **Vipact** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 2:14 am

Timed out with the IP.

wtf? My brain is frying here. I went into my router firewall and opened up port 5121, and pointed it to 192.168.0.100, which is my only machine. The ftp and remote desktop both work fine with the same stats. Why won't NWN? It's the same damn setup as Avlis. I must be doing something really stupid and obvious that I don't see it.

Ok, try now. I switched it to UDP. *kicks self*

Post by **Orleron** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 5:52 am

It's working!

Can the same setup be used for naval battles?

Post by **Orleron** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 3:45 pm

Not without a huge hak.

TilenN · Post by **TilenN** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 4:09 pm

Says I'm missing two haks. One "update" something and one arcane tileset hak. I downloaded the hak for ftp://orleron.com .

Post by **Orleron** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 5:21 pm

There should be three files on orleron.com. You need all three of them to get onto the server.

You should die now when losing a battle.

Oh goody!

Now I won't be left wandering the flow after my ship gets trashed! Yay!!

Seriously, the mod looks niffty as all get-out... the interface is going to take some major adjusting to though.

Good Stuff.

I've got the beginnings of ship grappling coded. Try a boarding action when you get close to the enemy ship.

Bah! I keep getting connection errors trying to connect to the ftp site.

can someone make any sense of this error for me please?

Okay.

Dunno if it should be working this way. Seems like I'm stuck in eternal combat with a merchantman...(Uh, I guess piracy doesn't pay?)

Manage to get in close and grapple, but choosing the boardparty option doesn't do anything.(Not implemented yet?)

Also, I dunno why, but it seems like even 1 damage from the merchie will sink my lamprey.

Post by **Orleron** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 2:41 pm

1) This is a bug I'm watching. You should go into death sequence if you lose.

2) You did not put the correct type of hull points on your lamprey, or you did not use your captain symbol on the hullpoints to make them take effect.

3) Boarding not implemented yet, only grappling, cutting grapples, and small arms fire is.

The cool thing about small arms fire is if you start killing off their crew, they won't have enough people to man weapons and you'll see their firepower start to decrease. Firing at far range does a certain amount of crew killing on both sides. Firing when grappled does more.

Crew members that you buy above and beyond the minimum are your boarders. The more you have, the more you'll kick ass, and I'm going to need to put an upper limit on it right now.

FTP server is back up. Sorry.

TilenN · Post by **TilenN** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 3:03 pm

Well, I can't connect to the ftp with anything else than IE no matter which options I choose- I tried every combination. And with IE, I only see the folder "pub" with 1 file, IthillaAS.rar, in it.

What might be wrong?
