9th player?

[TheArchduke]

Sometime ago i can remember much fuss about a possible 9th player. Is this is a rumour? Would it be possible?
I think Mp games would profit much from that.

It would be very much cool, but I wouldn't hold my breath - it would require a major rewrite of much of the interface, at the very least.

If we can change the interface, is it be technically possible to make a 20-30 player simulation?

 

[TheArchduke]

15-20 would be sufficient.

Anything to do with EULOOP (or whatever you teased us with a week or so ago)????

I was wondering if EULOOP was the open-source EU clone there had been whispers about. Although it's more likely to be something else.

I did look into it before, but never got the time...

Now I spent some hour checking stuff over...

The bandwidth costs could be huge for a big game, and the interface can't really fit too many players...

Technically the game should now be able to support 24 players, but I doubt the bandwidth can handle anything remotely close to that

Here's an executable with a test scenario if anyone wants to test if it works with > 8 players..

Apply it over the 1.06b Beta 6.

Great thing. Got high priority. I hope i can fetch red and some others right now.

The amount of diplomacy possible with something like this... even with 2 - 4 more players than are allowed now... absolutely amazing.

Guys if you can join v-net or contact me or mowers.

I'll help too, if you're going to get something going in the next couple of hours.

The amount of setup overhead as a % of total time dedicated to a game with this # of players must be astronomical, something like 70%. Truly frustrating, I guess why he never implmemented it. It's already a pain getting 8 people together and coherent.

 

[TheArchduke]

It works! Praise the Johan!!

If you get together 12 really dedicated people and a good connection. wow.

But imagine a 24 people lan.

That would be cool.. but even moreso it would be hard to keep discipline in order.

Fixed some bugs we discovered, like the transfer and the lobby ctd..


I noticed the chat ctd still there and will work on it tomorrow evening..
