Awesome :clap:. How the server is managing sessions? Limited to just one 8 player session, or MMO-alike, or multiple 8 player sessions?

[Courius]

Wow my reaction to TDU1 online. Good job guys!

 

And ofcourse I really want to join betatesters crew. Now I have a lot of time for testing ;)

[Ryzza5]

Well there were 9 people online at one stage, so...

 

I wonder given it's custom server code if the 8 player session limit could be raised to say 10 or 12 (just to see what the impact is)

[Dux]

Or possibility to make own server :?

[Ryzza5]

Could be possible perhaps (like running a minecraft server)

But you'd need a way for the client to specify what to connect to

[Dux]

I think it will be possible.

You have SA:MP for example.

So i think its possible, maybe to enter server IP adress or something.

[Fear Deer]

It's not about being possible, it's about if the current code was developed with that in mind.

Shouldn't be too hard to implement a system which asks you for the server IP, but if it's to be user friendly you'll need a user friendly GUI.

 

If speeder has that in mind, I'd like to say I could help making a Java GUI to browse servers/select one, but maybe in a few months only.

[Dux]

Is it that much of a job ? :(

 

Is GUI a must ?

What about simple notepad editing ? :D

[Fear Deer]

Only Speeder can tell, it depends on how the code's done.

 

What about simple notepad editing ? :D

If the server adress is hardcoded then no.

If it's persistently stored and the data is not in binary format, then probably yes :p

But I'm just yapping on, once again, only Speeder can tell what's he got done :p

[Ryzza5]

Edit a config.ini file or add it as a -parameter... no need for fancy browsers. Just means one person isn't burdened with the server costs. The only problem is segmenting an already-small community.

 

Speaking of communities, there were a few guys on there from TDU.fr... nice of Speeder to select Turboduck to invite additional members.

I'd love to join for testing!! If you guys ever have any more. Me and another tdu1 player both. Can't wait to have long good cruises again with space and combat lol. and, jcl, tuffguy, ksk, jzjamm, brsirius, the list goes on!

[Ryzza5]

Combat_Shotgun doesn't cruise - he just does 360 spins in front of you all the time in his 900HP Supra so that you can't see beyond the smoke :lol:

[COMB@T_$HOTGUN]

lmfao, im also a fulltime drifter but i can also cruise dont worry ^^

[RobikV3]

^^ haha but i have to say youre damn good at it xD

[COMB@T_$HOTGUN]

^^ thx bra

[Speeder]

For now, the code won't be released. Why? Because there isn't really a huge interest in creating different servers (as you know the server is only a relay).

And yes, the server isn't that user friendly (most of the options would require the user to modify the code and it also require a specific gamespy setup). However if we ever close the server the code will be released.

 

For now, the player session were limited to 8 players (since as I said the aim was to test the server performances) but the session can be bigger (if it works); just need to test that for the next test (we'll have to add more player to test obviously, so no need to PM me to get in :D).

[COMB@T_$HOTGUN]

Emm are u guys working on the server atm ?, bec evrytime i try to go on the map the the game exe crashes O_o

[TDUZoqqer]

I'm getting crazy here not to be online. it's like we have summer holidays, all of my friends are playing outside and I need to do homework all day.

[Ryzza5]

Well the quicker you finish off all your homework the sooner you can play with us... oh wait that doesn't work here :)

[COMB@T_$HOTGUN]

L:lol::lol:L

[Speeder]

No update here (you wouldn't be able to connect anyway if it was the case). If you still get crash, please send the windows error report in PM. :)

 

(next update should be live today)

 

 

EDIT: I got the issue, it should be fixed this afternoon.

[RobikV3]

My game works fine just checked

[COMB@T_$HOTGUN]

There is no windows error report, it just says tdu exe is not working enymore

EDIT: Can someone pls upload me the CarPhysicsData.db just to chek

[superhyper]

Gahhhhh, I'm so jealous right now! :jealous: Speeder, if you just happen to need another tester in the near future....:whistle:
