Little Fighter 2 Lobby (beta)

[Yinseko]

to Van:
after join server, i choose the open game.
start game, network game, connect to 127.0.0.1 and after finish loading game this error appears in lobby and connection lost in lf2.exe

by the way yet two question for chiko:
1. it work only with original lf2.exe? what about mods that havent any exe changes?
2. Does the lobby servers will free to use in other places? (for exaple peple can organize Asia, Europe, American servers and free for use and configure).

I have the same problem as Yinseko EXCEPT sometimes I can get to the character selection menu in VS mode and select the characters. But when it gets to the menu where you can choose difficulty for computer players, reset random and reset all, it crashes. The messagebox that Yinseko posted appears and the Lobby's title is "out of sync!".

Also Chiko, you need to fix the bug where if the lobby goes out of sync and goes back to the server selection menu, the title stays "out of sync!"...

EXTRA INFORMATION:
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP2
LF2 Version: v2.0a CERTAINLY UNMODDED

I'll be looking into these bugs deeper tomorrow but as for the "out of sync" message that is a real time update of the clients e.g.

if lf2 on your comp is out of sync with lf2 on someone elses comp that message will appear it shouldn't disappear once it shows up

it shouldn't really matter what you do in game however there is the possibility fragmented packets can be causing the disconnects

is the latency between you and the server high? (you can check on the server list screen)

i plan to improve support for fragmented packets but only if its the cause i'll try contact you tomorrow in hopes of a test run

1. As long as everyone is using the same executable it should be fine
e.g. if 4 people with r-lf2 join the same game and play it should run fine (otherwise it will crash in a horribly sync fire)

2. sorry restricted to Europe for now

I have a game running and it is called "davis contest". drop in if you can!!

[Ascor]

we need a chatroom
or something like that
because it's bad if someone who you don't know joins your game and you don't know who he is or why he isn't ready

[Alectric]

please chiko, in new update, can you make rooms password protected, or have a kick button available for the room creator, because every time i try and play, we have to keep waiting for some Lurking noob to leave, because they took one of the spots.
its overly frustrating. But yeah, me, ramond, and silva, got the game to actually play, even though it lagged because of me, and then we got snorsobet, and it sill worked, so im not sure what makes it crash, probably just the extreme lag

[Chiko]

yeah a chat room + password protection is planned silva wanted a kick feature so i'll see what i can do

as for the extreme lag alectric that would most likely cause the fragmented packets will be best if i capture some data however i can look into supporting it and see if that fixes your problem

as you've all noticed the game room is rather bare as i'm still working on its concept (same with the next screen when you're actually in the game) all chat features and the like will go there

just a heads up for everyone again this is a beta and i plan to change the way accounts are stored/created on the server side and what information is retained so if you find you can no longer log in theres a good chance your account has been deleted simply just remake it and you should be good to go again

Installing MSWINSCK.OCX in Windows Vista guide by MoRi from Rain Soldiers clan:

Installing MSWINSCK.OCX in Vista is a bit difficult, so I made a tutorial.
1. We have to paste MSWINSCK.OCX to C:/Windows/System32 ( or D,E, it depends of where is Windows installed).
2. Click on menu "Start" - in "Start to search" write "cmd"
3. Launch "cmd" as admin (right-mouse-click and "start as admin")
4. Write: first "cd\", second "cd windows", then "cd system32" and at last "regsvr32 MSWINSCK.OCX" (after each command press ENTER)
5. Start Lobby and enjoy

It's translated from Polish, sorry if any concepts in English version of Vista sounds different than mine, translated from Polish ^^'

We've noticed one bug in lobby: the only weapon which is available is boomerang.

[Chiko]

Thanks for the guide Van you can also place the mswinsck.ocx in the same location as the executable and it should be able to find it. As for the boomerang bug other items do work but the server has restricted all drops to boomerangs for now that will be changed in the next few updates

also just a note if you're idling in the server and you get disconnected its most likely due to me making a change (i'll try to avoid making changes when a game is in progress or when a game is made (unless its idle for a long time)) but yeah it doesn't mean theres anything wrong try again in a few minutes and it should be up if it goes down unless stated otherwise here
