[MOD] netMari0.1

Science · Post » 28 Mar 2012, 22:18

Hello.
I've been working on the multiplayer a bit, and i got it working so far,
and i solved the problem with syncronizing the worlds by having everyone paused when someone opens the pause menu.

Also it will only scroll with the player you are playing when you are in multiplayer.
I tweaked everything a bit. There is a console, credits to coolbob44 and teryakisan, i added some commands and made it printing when the function message("string") is called. It will also delete the last line if there is too much text to fit.

I also added "host PORT" and "connect IP:PORT" so you don't have to change netplay.lua the whole time.

Link to the github:
https://github.com/TheSc1ence/netMari0

Tell we what you think! And i'm trying to find out atm what causes it that you can't use the portals of other players in MP.

How do you install, and how do you make a server?

At first you need "Löve" if you don't have it https://love2d.org/builds/. if you scroll to the bottom you see the newest "Löve" version out, Download & Install it. Make sure you have "LÖVE" icon on your desktop.
here i give you a direct link to download Science modification: https://github.com/TheSc1ence/netMari0/zipball/master
Download the modification which include the complete game also. Extract the zip you downloaded to desktop. Drag the extracted folder to "LÖVE" and it should now start.
Select which mappack you want to play, select how many players you want to play with you and now start the map.

Press § (The button under esc) and the console should come up. then write "HOST "PORT YOU ARE GOING TO USE"" for example "Host 4000"
It should now say "Press Enter To Start". Tell your friend to instead of typing "Host 4000" write "Connect "your ip" for example if i want my brother to join me in the same network he'd type "connect 192.168.1.69" and it would say "waiting for host".

Now simply press enter and you are ready to roll!!

Also... Thank you very much for this modification Science!! it works really good, haven't discovered any issues yet anyways! Thanks!

Hmm, this looks pretty cool. BTW, under some people's "Esc" button is "~" or "`". Also, does this allow you to interact with entities and clear portals? Doing either of those are default netplay causes the other play to crash.

But, it wasn't working, so I just copied everything from the extracted folder to the LOVE folder in the appdata library :)

Btw my ip is 192.168.1.1 if anyone wants to play with me

EDIT:

When you join tell me in PM

That's your internal IP!

The one everyone within your home network can join!

to see your external go to for example http://www.whatsmyip.org/
You may also need to portforward port 4000 if you host on that one!

i cant get it to work something about sha1

Mari0Lu1g1 · Post » 29 Mar 2012, 00:35

seb1332 wrote:i cant get it to work something about sha1

Ok here's my way!
1. Install Love
2. Download Mod
3. Put all the contents in your LOVE folder (just do windows key R and type %appdata%)
4. Open Mari0 (if it works should say netMario and have a new portal gun cursor)
5. Type host (to host), or connect (ip) to join
6. Profit

What do you mean by install mod? And put all the content into the love folder? I never install mods just download.love and execute. that must be why i cant get this working

Whoops I meant download! But essentially that's what worked for me :3

IDK if i misunderstood this but i still cannot get it working

When my friend and I try to connect (no matter who hosts)

Error:
client.lua:4: attempt to concatenate local 'port1' (a nil value)

Traceback:
client.lua:4: in function 'client_load'
console.lua:23: in function 'cmd'
main.lua:1251: in function 'keypressed'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

He is on win8 and I'm on win xp

Lexsym · Post » 29 Mar 2012, 01:37

I like this, only problem I had was that the line: require "sha1"
Kinda doesn't allow the game to function, so I commented it out and then it worked. Couple of sync issues, but that's expected for beta netplay. Goodjob guys!

Also, here is a suggestion that would help for getting your ip:
in main.lua add:

Code: Select all

function getip()
	local ip, code = http.request("http://didmyipchange.com/?iponly=true")
	return ip
end

in console.lua - console.cmd function add:

Code: Select all

elseif cmd == "getip" then
		message("Your ip is: " .. getip())

This doesn't infringe on any rights or anything bad because I own the domain and I approve of this lol.

Have you port-forwarded?

For the "Sha1.lua" missing...
just download this http://www.2shared.com/file/d-Eispy0/sha1.html one and put in the "Science Folder" (The "sha1.lua" was extracted from Mari0 Source)

I'm on GNU/Linux ubuntu, on an spanish keyboard, and I have two problems:

1- I don't have the "§" character on my keyboard.

2- When I try to use it with a key combination (ALT GR + SHIFT + S) nothing happens.

That's it.

don't see the point in excluding it from the github source.

I'm sorry but I feel offended.
I tried to stay quiet but that's just ridiculous.
He uncommented my networking code, added 2 unneeded hooks, 1 if condition to the scrolling and a heavily flawed "synchronization" method, that will not synchronize shit because of network lag.
It's a nice effort but a way too early release. This is such flawed and incomplete networking that it's not worth the effort if you plan on actually playing the game.

I just took a look at the original code and see what you mean. You should slap them around a little bit for trying to steal your work.

MAURICE GUÉGAN wrote:STEAL MY SHIT AND I'LL FUCK YOU UP

Also, to remove one of the flaws, you force the server to send and update the client vars (time and lives are what desync and flaws alot of shit, so I just added a little bit more to the client sync to save them).

Eh, no need to be mean to science, he never really claimed to have written the multiplayer.

Science · Post » 29 Mar 2012, 12:45

Whoa...
Okay to make this clear:
This was made because i was bored, i never said i MADE the mp, neither is this fully working.
I just tried by best to make it "playable".
