Hey guys, im in the middle of making a multiplayer game, and i have drafted a very basic map to test FPSC's Multiplayer potential. I want to test if people can connect to the game and join games with out getting a waiting to join bug. me and a friend think we may no the reason why most games cant connect, but im unsure untill i run this test. If any one is down to have a go on this map ( by the way, its not the map im working on for this multiplayer project, this was built for test reasons, very basic map) i will provide a download link, ill keep an eye on the forums so if you are up for going on their just say and ill host a game, and try and get a few games done on thier.

i would realy apreciate this if their was a good few people wanting to play ( idealy id want 3 games going on at the same time, so we can go in and out of games and see what happens.

the map is fun even tho it is basic, so if you want to have a blast download the game and click here

thanks for everyones help

downloading now, will try it

Yup, me too. Im downloading it. Hopefully you will find a solution to this awful bug

Thats interesting. It kicked me off when I got killed Then my game was still up even though I was hosting, and I was not able to join it.

@ Design Runner ,your game is still up but I cant connect

Hey,
I got in ok, all the segments that was in there I could not see.
Most likely it my computer,I on a old laptop. but I pick up all the guns. Now is this a none mod FPSC? I would like to see if I could get one up and running.
renny

oh right, so people could join

There is no bug about it, one just need to setup connection properly either by hadoc or in router and fire wall, Simple

If one would care to read the Doc in the fpsc folder for more detailed info, then one would re-consider calling it a bug!

Like spudnick said, "waiting to join" is not a bug.

To avoid it, you will need to port forward on your computer, or setup a VPN.

There is no need to be condescending with the remarks.

Allow me to direct you to this:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=188520&b=21

And I'm sure there are other threads with similar issues.

The fact is that there are some that still have the issue of the "waiting to join". It is a hit and miss, and even we have experienced it just recently. There have been some saying that Project Apex fixes this issue, and others are still plagued with this issue. The best approach is to find out exactly when it was fixed and what version the fix is applied to. Otherwise your own comments are not helpful.

I was not being funny about my remark, i was just quickly saying have a read in the doc folder in the fps creator folder

Edited

My apologies then. Suggestion. When specifying the docs, specify which "doc" this information is in. The details we read in the manual are a bit vague on the subject, and therefore are confusing or of no help to new people.



As I mentioned before, the *only* time I have heard it was not a bug was in the post mentioning Project Apex. When doing a search, there were many threads where the majority claimed it was a bug. Now this thread has "it is not a bug". This tends to confuse new people trying to find the correct information, and this is not the first time when misinformation is being passed along. I am trying to be helpful here, not ruffle your feathers.

its just i only get short amount of time on the net these days and i try to get to a quick point of what i trying to say to help

As an "IT admin engineer" i find solutions of this kind a doddle
Ok here is a ready made document from Lee bamber & Hockykid, as this will explain the basics,

Hosting your MP game with or without a router is not difficult, but missing a setting will cause it to fail. This guide should enable you to set up and host your games successfully. Keep in mind that your Firewall and Router are two, separate things. You have to set up your firewall to allow the FPSC game to function. And you also have to Forward the External IP ports to the Internal IP ports on your Router with Port Forwarding. If you're hosting without a Router: Start the game, Enter your Name and choose to host. Your PC may give you a warning about Firewall settings. If so, enable the game in your firewall(s). Assuming your Firewall allows the game to proceed, it will connect to the FPScreator game host so that your game's unique ID can be broadcast to the rest of the world via the internet. Your friends now start the game and go to Join. Your game is now listed on the game host. If you're hosting with a Router: First, double-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar to get to the Local Area Connection Staus screen. Click the Support tab and note the IP Address. This is your Internal IP address needed for forwarding. The IP Address here will be 192.168.1.XXX where XXX is a number such as 100. This will be the address you forward your port to in your router setup.
To learn how to do this for your router brand, go to www.portforward.com. In your router setup for port forwarding, enter the IP Address noted above (or the last 3 digits as in many cases). In the Port(s) or Port Range boxes of your setup, enter port 2303 and Protocol is UDP. Save the setup. Now your computer is set up to be a host with a router. Before you host each game, check the Internal IP address to see if it has changed. If so, you will need to set up your router again for the new IP address. The internal IP address doesn't change often, but if you boot several computers on your network in a different order, the number may change to reflect this. Start the game, Enter your Name and choose to host. Your PC may give you a warning about Firewall settings. If so, enable the game in your firewall(s). Assuming your Firewall allows the game to proceed, it will connect to the FPSCreator game host so that your game's unique ID can be broadcast to the rest of the world via the internet. Your friends now start the game and go to Join. Your game is now listed on the game host. To Join any FPSC game, just click on Join. "Waiting to Join . . ." If you get "Waiting to Join" this is not necessarily a bug. When a MP game has ended, the broadcasted message on the FPSCreator game host server is not immediately released. This causes a "Ghost" game to be reported. Basically, the game just looks available when it is not. Another reason you may get the WTJ message is because the hosted game is on a router and not forwarded or not forwarded properly.

@ spudnick

Thank you for passing the information along. I've noted it for future reference and will pass along to those that ask in the future.

Anyone want to join me? I've never actually played with anyone on a FPSC game before so... I just set up a game.


Cheers.
