Here is a crude demo of a Deathmatch shooter.

http://www.wasteland.at/xspire_online.zip

Its targeted for 8 Players Max.

These things should work:

chat,
client list,
movement,
shooting (the shots dont harm the players yet, this will be added later)
animation (simple jump and run animations)

All Aliens are in the level, but stand still until a player takes over one.
The "moving platform" is not synced on the clients, so it
is probably seen on the wrong position.

the default port is 2300 it is running on.

When connecting to the server, you need to enter the name and
the Server-IP adress.
Only the clients can play. You have to start a seperate client on the server-machine
to play.

Would be nice to hear some feedback, and maybe someone can start an online session.

I started a server on the IP:

217.88.162.115

But I am not good in configuring my router, you might try to join tonight.
(you can also edit the ip text in the folder, so you dont need to enter the IP
everytime per hand)

nice to see you're still in
server up and running on 84.159.34.138

Not perfect, but runs basically

Did your server crash?
Maybe I send to many updates

neue ip: 84.159.25.59

einfach in der ip.txt als erste zeile eingeben

Couldn't connect to your servers...

Played locally. The movement was quite behind my input. This should not happen because both the server and the client were on the same computer.
Other than that, no lag was noticeable, which is great! I would love to try this online. I would advise you to display the current ping somewhere. This helps debugging.

P.S.: Currently working on a small shooter using native 3DGS multiplayer. We could compare which system works better online .

To reduce the bandwith usage, I limided the updates to 16 per second.
Also, the camera is smoothed, and thus reacts slower than the actual player.
This can be left out on a local machine, but makes the movement smoother
on an internet game. (it should in the end, adapt itself to the ping/latency
to work best in all situations)
I joined a game with nfs, and it was running well, given the functionality
that is implemented to this state.

I use GSTNet, especially to not have to tangle with
the 3dgs multiplayer shortcomings, and its system, that dictates the multiplayer
in an unnessesary way.
With GSTNet I have full controll about the data send,
not with 3dgs-multiplayer.

sorry I've had to restart my router.
now you can connect via: gstools.servegame.com

I will add a functional weapon, so the testing will be more fun

nice
