Multiplayer Implementation is happening.
Multiplayer Implementation is happening.
Hello everyone,
My name is Julio, I'm a game programmer mostly know for being the Lead Programmer for Survivor Zero (Survivorzero.com).
I've been following Overgrowth since those blood spatters on cubes videos were posted and from a time where the WhaleMan still walked on a rabbot infested earth .
So, the reason I'm creating this post is because I decided to implement the multiplayer for Receiver in 7 Days. I'll be working on it this week and I've already done some progress this morning.
I'll try to keep you guys posted on the progress I'm having.

How complex will this be? Can we expect lag compensation, client side prediction etc?

Re: Multiplayer Implementation is happening.
I'm excited to hear you working on this project for an already amazing game. I was wondering if you could post updates to keep us in touch on how you are doing. I'm also interested to see what you work on fist when turning receiver into a multiplayer game.
Re: Multiplayer Implementation is happening.
hello there
I applaud your efforts!
But what will ones avatar look like? Will it be a stylised representation? Ie low low poly count?
like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z22DhbOZMbU these?
For me, I'd hate anything ultra realistic as it would clash with the games style IMHO
Regardless, I'll still have a bash playing it.

Re: Multiplayer Implementation is happening.
Update 1:
Everything is coming along as expected.
I've already made a very simple menu and I am able to connect to the server from a client.
My biggest problem until now has been because Receiver is written in Javascript and I generally use C# when using Unity but it's something I'm finding ways to get over it.
After that I'll focus on synchronizing the player and the enemies rotation and position.
After that, my main focus will be to synchronize weapon position and state.
Next up, I'll probably make a nicer menu where the users can connect to a specific ip.
Once all this is done, I'll probably focus on improving things here and there but everything should be working fine (at least in lan mode).
I intend on working side by side with the wolfire team as soon as new versions of receiver come out to keep the multiplayer side of things updated (But then again, that's not up to me to decide. It's not my game, I'm just doing something to gain some more experience and make some people happy).

My priority now has been setting the server up and making the world generation being done by the server and transmitting that "specific world" to the clients.Potosin wrote:I'm also interested to see what you work on fist when turning receiver into a multiplayer game.

Since I'm not a modeler the other player will be a simple capsule. It will be up to the wolfire devs (or other modders) to add characters to the game (and animating said characters).orlok wrote:hello there

Best wishes, mate.
Re: Multiplayer Implementation is happening.
Good luck! If you pull this off you are a genius.
Re: Multiplayer Implementation is happening.
Nice, good luck!
I think SteelRaven7 tried to implement multiplayer as well...

Re: Multiplayer Implementation is happening.
I got the basic host/client connection working, but soon realized that the current code simply wasn't ready to be instansiated for other players. Had problems regarding the camera and input.
Problem is that the AimScript code isn't all that great and clean, and it's in javascript *shun*.
Also: for some reason, the Unity asset GUI menu stopped working every now and then, which forced me to reload all assets. After this happened for the third time, I gave up.

Re: Multiplayer Implementation is happening.
I think it should be more COOP because a receiver killing a receiver is against the story kinda. :/
