Ok, NM, I give up. Hours of this is enough. I wanted to play this game but there are no read me files since they don't work, no help here, how is anyone supposed to support this game?

Thanks anyway.....

You're talking about a VPN - right?
You don't need to do that.

Although - since you seem to have thought it necessary - I'm assuming your son and you do not share the same LAN (meaning your both on a different internet access)

Just add "-mlocalhost" to the server binary and make a note of your external IP ... maybe via http://whatismyip.org/
then tell your son to open up his game and enter "/connect 123.123.123.123" (with the approptiately corrected IP address) ...
he could even enter it beforehand into his servers.cfg ... or do a "/addserver 123.123.123.123" and then use the serverbrowser.

HTH

You'll have to set the server to listen to the IP that your Hamachi client has. It's featured prominently on the Hamachi window (as you've seen!), and the server batch file should just need this added to it:

-iHamachiIPAddress

Replacing, of course, HamachiIPAddress with the actual address. Then your son should be able to connect to your Hamachi IP (/connect HamachiIPAddress) and you should be able to play privately. :)

If you were playing Sauer, it would make the server.bat look something like this:

bin\sauerbraten.exe -d -c4 -iHamachiIPAddress %1 %2 %3 %4 %5

Mmmh. Wouldn't a VPN make it possible for the other members of this "virtual private network" to do a "lanconnect" ... I mean ... that's the whole point of a VPN isn't it?!?!

But ... this is shooting at pidgeons with cannonballs folks ... you simply DO NOT NEED to create a VPN to play these games privately!

Simply don't register the server publically (meaning "-mlocalhost") and connect manually (meaning "/connect IP").

Hey--
I love Sauerbraten; there haven't been any new versions in a few months. Is it still being developed?

Not possible, don't you think there'd be at least one example of this in the release already if such a feature'd be available ?! ;-)

actually, you can create demos to play as these cinematics, but capturing them, and loading the next level afterward will be a definite problem :D, least as far as I'm concerned at the moment. never bothered to actually try to do this, though a sleep 60000 [map blah] should do it

#10363: Visual C++ 2005

Can I edit the Sauerbraten source using VC++ 2005 from Microsoft? I doubt it, but since I have it I am curious.

#10364: Re: Cinematics

by MeatROme on 04/08/2008 22:06, refers to #10362

Heh, that could work.
pending sleeps used to be canceld upon map-load but I seem to remember they're not anymore - which opens up possibilities such as this :-)

you should probably also sleep-execute a chase on the character of your demo.

*cough* ... there's VC-project files in the src-tree ... maybe your version is too old, but in prinicpal it should work.

Sorry for the double post, but even though that's for VS08, should work for 05.

Is there a way to do it externally? Example: Code tells game to minimize at trigger point, game minimizes and opens up file movie.ogg with VLC player in full screen. Cinematic ends and game begins again.

For all the Mac people who keep having trouble with .DS_Store files and the other nasty buggers, there was a feature on Lifehacker ( http://lifehacker.com/377011/delete-mac-system-files-with-dot_clean )
about dot_clean, an included command with 10.5. Now just to clarify, I'm not a Mac guy, just thought it'd be useful for the ones who are.
