| Summary | 0000265: no networking w/ version 1.20? | ||||
| Description | I can't get FS2_Open (fs2_open_T-20040822.exe) to see a server (on a specified IP) run on Freespace2 1.20. (it also doesn't seem to be able to network with the Mac port (beta 5)). Network compatibilty with other versions would be awfully nice. (Perhaps a flag could be used in new mission files to specify they require FS2_Open features and otherwise use original 1.20 network code) | ||||

I should have also stated that 1.20 clients (with specified server IP address) don't see FS2_Open hosts either. edited on: 09-26-04 06:08 |

I think that the version was upped to facilitate the use of larger amounts of data like number of ships, etc. Kazan might comment on this but I think compat with 1.20 clients is effectively out the window. The OSX version of FS2_Open will support other platforms but still not support the original or tigital's beta releases. I don't know if supporting both new and old clients/servers is possible but I'll look into it when I get the chance. |

Is there an OS X version of FS_Open at present? Or is someone working on it? Thanks for the info. |

I'm working on it. I worked with tigital on the icculus.org version too so it's the same code just ported over, plus a few new things that were needed. The OSX version hasn't been released yet since it's a pain to build at the moment. I want to have (close to) simultaneous release for the next stable version of FS2_Open on Windows and Linux. The Linux version is working really well now and that translates to a good OSX version too. There are a few OSX only bugs at the moment but I'm going to get with tigital about them and try and get OSX binaries released along with the other releases. edited on: 09-26-04 15:56 |

Cool. While in any event I owe you and all the other FS2_Open coders thanks, I sounds like I should especially grateful to you since there aren't many games that my Mac using friends and I can play online and it's pretty awesome already that they can run FS2 well. But thanks to you I won't have to limit myself to the original version of FS2. So, thanks a lot for all your work, and thanks to all the other coders on this project. |

Well I am sure that this is just really a feature request. |
