Official Flatline Thread

Hey, I'm just going to put updates here and stuff.
Sepember 8, 2010
Synced Doors and Consoles

Sepember 8, 2010
Remembered to update this topic.
Sometimes in the last two months:
Added a kick command (used for removing crashed clients)
Synced animations and throws (a bit buggy, throws sometimes crash....)
Added bots (generic addbot command)
Added scripted AI (when ai2_spawn is called in a serverside script, used for coop mode)

June 30, 2010
WIP Video 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-L8g6UocCo

June 29, 2010
Bugs fixed:
Jitteryness.
Dashing and odd melee moves (woohoo)
Heads not being synced

June 27, 2010 (and before)

Things that need to be synced:
Guns (not happening for a while)

Re: Official Flatline Thread

super specal awesome work!
you're better then most (if not all) of us here on the fourms!
keep up the amazing work, i cant wait to help beta test it.

also, as long as the the lag is uniform, that is how the animations are all a frame behind,
i think i could live with that. i'd have to get used to it, but if everyone has the same amount, you just need to compensate a little. and it should be fine. well i mean thats no reason to try and get it perfect, but dont worry about it too much if you cant get it to work. of course, you probibly already know all that.

It's wonderful! I'm totally amazed!

This will be the biggest achievement we have this year, don't you agree?

(And congratulations on your work, Gumby. This is a big done! )

How long have you been working on this? Because at least as far as I've seen you've given no hint whatsoever of the Flatline project, and before this multiplayer Oni seemed like a myth.
Funny that in older posts you kept telling that only after LAN (and lots of work on it) there could be MP over internet, but now it seems you've jumped the gap from zero to functioning internet MP

Keep up the good work!

Not even the year I say it tops pretty much everything we have done with Oni.
Now I'm really excited even though I know it still has a long road ahead of it.

How does latency affect gameplay for now?

It's been in the workings for a few years actually, but there has been little progress, or at least, little progress that is showable in a youtube video People hint at it here and there in posts, but Gumby is putting so much work into it, we feel bad about asking directly how its going when we're doing nothing to help (not that we can)

Kinda reminds me of that story of the busy chicken and the other animals that wouldn't help her bake a loaf of bread

From time to time, Gumby released a video to show his progress. I suppose the last one was before you joined. but you're right abouot jumping the gap from LAN to internet I think...

Don't worry, I don't mind people asking. That's why I put up this topic, with status updates and everything.

....unfortunately, I haven't done anything noteworthy about it.

Re: Official Flatline Thread

To me, asking how far you've gotten is like asking the ever annoying question "Are we there yet?"

This thread is a bit better idea, because you can give us updates at your leisure, and we don't have to ask stuff like this anymore... if you've done it, it's on this post

Darn, this is amazing! Is there any way I could participate in beta testing? (I live in Toronto, and I have high-speed internet.)
And possibly host another beta server on my own for people who want to test it in Canada? (Basically help you out with this.)

Can't wait for the release!

Not yet Striker. I still need to work out one control issue, then I'll consider adding more testers...

Re: Official Flatline Thread

I'm definitely also interested in helping test. Although you can probably just assume that everybody is interested in helping test.

We can test how many can fit in a server until the lag becomes unbearable and/or crashes

Yup that sounds about right. Too bad Gumby is not letting us test here in Canada.

I've been waiting nine years now, for something like this to happen! I think I can wait just the time it takes for a stable release.
