Poll Would you play Orbiter Racing League Multiplayer If someone was hosting it?

[garyw]

I've got family around on 25th and 28th otherwise I'll give it a go.

And to add a bit more from that IRC server.......

20:22 <Gary>live on radio - orbiter forum wacky races!
20:22 <Xyon>lol
20:23 <Gary>and that goes Xyon in the souped up XR-2a! closely followed by face in the hair mobile, behind is dick dastardly............
20:23 * Zatman makes a mental note to order more acme giant hammers
20:23 <face>something like that, yes... like the pod-races in Star Wars
20:24 <Gary>Seriously, Xmas Wacky races would be a blast. three laps round wideawake, loser buys beer!
20:24 <face>rofl
20:24 <Xyon>Floating ring addon to delineate the course
20:24 <Xyon>Or
20:24 <Xyon>We could do it like the red bull air races and have gates of various heights and time tria;s
20:24 <Xyon>trails*
20:24 <face>folks, there already is most of it... WHAP made gates and whatnot
20:24 <Gary>Compex did that ORRL addon
20:24 <Xyon>Ya

So hopefully there can be a teamspeak/orbiterradio tie in. It could be a really good laugh.

i am on right now in wideawake if anyone wants to play

 

[astrosammy]

I can get in. However Orbiter terminates with a

>>> ERROR: No vessel class configuration file found for:
>>> ERROR:

EDIT: I can get in, it says 2 clients are logged in, but I don't see anyone else. Also I can't change the time acceleration, and it always is at 0.1x.
Maybe a little search will help me...




I'll have much time for racing after christmas...

Its looks like the same problem as above. Try starting at wideawake.

 

[Urwumpe]

We should add snowballs, Candy bombs and Suicide Reindeers then.

 

[Stevodoran]

How come the time warp cant be changed?

 

[garyw]

Because time warp causes all sorts of problems. This has been discussed at length in the various multiplayer threads.

Error is fixed srry for inconvienence

We now have a Teamspeak3 server. (Server needs load testing to check bandwidth)
TSviewer and banner is now on a simple webpage (will tweak it later)
omp.dyndns-server.com

 

[Lucy]

If it doesn't work, I've had a teamspeak3 server running for a while too, which seems to work OK, running on orbiterradio.dyndns.info port 9987 (Teamspeak's default port).

For bandwidth purposes, if someone's going to broadcast radio it's a good plan to have the TS server running elsewhere, but I've successfully had the setup working fine for chat radio shows with three or four other people joining in.

well if you wouldnt mind making a OMP or ORbiter Multiplayer channel. If you go here http://omp.dyndns-server.com/ you will see the TSviewer on right side of page. If you want to use your TS for voice and radio we will have to modify a couple of permissions on your TS server to have your TSserver channels listed on the webpage instead of mine. At which time ill shut my TS server down. So if you want to host the voice also that would be great as that will free up bandwidth for the omp game server itself

 

[statickid]

And pretty much every addon that's been uploaded in .rar format has people complaining that they can't open it. Sure, you have winrar, but not everyone does.

If you want people to be able to open your files, you use .zip

I use Free RAR Extract Frog! It doesn't do much, but it's never done me wrong doing as little as it does. :thumbup:

 

[deltawing777]

I will take care of that ASAP. as soon as I get home. I put remote support on the server exactly for this reason, but I just can't seem to get through the proxy here at work. It will be fixed in about 2 1/2 hours from the time of this post. Sorry for any inconvienence :facepalm:

Remote support now working. I can Tweak stuff from work now :thumbup:

I can work with that. I just got in from work, so when you're free ping me on the TS server and we'll sort it all out. I could do with a full-on bandwidth test, but, that can probably wait. I'm also hoping that soon my internets will be upgraded to fibre with 10Mb upstream, which would really help with running servers.

very nice. Ok sounds good Ill meet with ya on TS About 2 hours from time of this post I am at work also :thumbup:

 

[astrosammy]

I still don't get it working. I can only get into orbiter with a time warp of 0.1x. Are that the correct settings?

And to me it looks a bit strange that I only have zeros in this window:

I already checked all my firewall and router settings. It would be great if anyone could help me.

This is the typical NAT-problem. Your router and/or firewall and/or ISP is not letting UDP packets through to your machine.

The standard method uses a NAT-traversal technique, but unfortunately it is not working with most routers.

Use the custom setting with your internet-IP and a arbitrary port you forwarded manually from your router to your Orbiter machine.

Ok, after some talking, some coffee, and much smoking, the tsviewer thing is working. You can get live stats at http://www.orbiterradio.com/tsviewer.php, and there's a userbar for the server in my signature with info on how many people are online which should never be more than about 5 minutes old.

The TS is working great. good quality. Cant wait for the big race in multiplayer :thumbup:

Looks interesting, let's see of my old (Th)rusty Nostromo is compatible with Orbiter 2006.
