New HOMEBREW-ONLINE-GAME ! Link Inside !

[qw3rty]

Portmapping won't be necessary in the lobby-release (which should this weekend !)

Although it is prefered by me, because it saves bandwith, and that mode is thoroughly tested.(I may include VoIP for port-mapping users in a later version, as a little bonus....however I can't include that for non-port-mapping users, because of my bandwith !)

 

Slosha, I would try, if you can get it to work with the "incoming" area only.

Maybe you have a tab in your routers setup called "virtual server" - that's how it is called on my router....but every router is a little different.

I have the first LOBBY VERSION online

 

I'm sure there are still lots of bugs to fix, but I need many testers now.

Portmapping isn't necessary, although preffered by me, because it limits bandwith usage.

 

Features :

 

-Server-based savegames. Your NDS will be recognized at logon (don't worry, I won't save any personal data of your NDS)

-Top Ten : "games won %" / "hits %" ; your user has to have at least 3 games + 1 game per week registerd, to be on the list.

-Lobby-Broadcast Chat

-Invite other players

 

Explanation of the user-list :

 

a "P" in front means "private", that means a user doesn't accept games of random users.

a "O" in front means "open" - the player accepts games from anyone.

If you press on "play" in the lobby-menu, you change your state to "open" (that's similar to nintendo's "worldwide" setting).

Invitations are automatically acknowledged by "open" players.

If the username is in brackets, the player is away playing a round of blubb - he won't receive the lobby-messages, nor can he send messages to the lobby.

 

 

See you in the lobby

Well done qw3rty, now we wait for the reactions from the dswifi users.

This is probably the best homebrew game. It fun single player but with a lobby there's limitless features. Does anyone know that 3d homebrew pool game for the ds? That would be cool online.

[qw3rty]

Sorry guys, I already had a bug in the lobby....

 

But thanks to you I was able to figure out why (although you haven't noticed helping me )

 

I hope now it should work

 

P.S: still many bugs in the lobby

 

If you want to play a stable game, forward the ports 9999 and 10000 UDP.

The server-based game isn't properly bugfixed yet....but feel free to connect anytime

 

(I'll be hanging around in the lobby with my NDS and wait for beta-testers, whenever I am at my PC )

overall, its the best to place your NDS IP in the DMZ, considering almost every online homebrewgame needs you to fast foward diffrent ports

 

And yeah, this is one kewl game ( even though Ive tried the lobby a bit before it was released )

[Dekamaster]

I was online with you qwerty but my touchscreen would not work in the chat lobby..I was dekared...I use a supercard cf btw

You gotta be careful when touching the dot at the start menu. It calibrates the screen.

[qw3rty]

Yes, the calibration is VERY bad

It's on top of my to-do list.

 

I have updated the download on my page - the new version should work with portmapping activated again !

(I screwed up something in the startup-communication for direct-conenct games)

This game is coming along really nicely. Maybe you should enter it into the wifi coding competition
