he's correct - Awesome. Domino, you've kept this game fresh and happening not only for players, but coders too. Take a bow - it's deserved.

awww cool, wasnt expecting all this praise, cheers guys, its appriciated
im not really awesome, i just dont want supcom to die off because its just so awesome, so i go the extra mile to help new and/or old modders achive there coding goals if i can.

... and giving players some very cool new stuff too ! Praise indeed !

Hi,



it wasnt all me, Resin_Smoker did 99.9% of the work in the 4dc mod
i just helped where i could.

Speaking of which, where is Resin nowadays? From what I know, he vanished off these forums, and I have no clue where he went.

i have stashed him away for safe keeping!
only i have access to him mwhahahaha (Evil Laugh)

am I the only one with awkward images in my head now? xD

Domino has Resin all tied up in his bedroom

That is giving me very weird images in my head right now. Gee thanks guys

Your Welcome

I bet you have a different modder tied up in your room though, brandon. Probably OrangeKnight.

Ew No No no.... Have you seen the fights we have? Im more likely to hire a hitman to take him out, rather then...do those things to him XD

Yeah ive seen all the fights around here. Its a shame really... Thats one thing we dont need. I wish i had someone here, that i could just throw my hundreds of questions at XD
Right now, thats domino. But im sure he doesnt have the time for that.

Hi,

I just re-written the intel functions and tested a game or 2, the result is always the same..

No Desync's

here is the game log from my pc to my laptop playing 2 sorain AI

http://pastebin.com/SN31a9FB

not a single error relating to DMS or 4DC... which is the only mods i had loaded..

here is the replay...

here is the betas i used... :/ its proper strange that i do not desync AT ALL when in LAN MP Games, im using the exact same game configuration on both machines..

http://www.mediafire.com/?fbdvh0vdk8e6p79

Do you only ever play AI games? Also, I don't use the LAN/IP to do it. I use steam matchmaking. It seems like two human players, would cause a different outcome than two AI players, but i don't really know.

Hi,

Makes no differance pal, i have 2 different human players connected to the same game, if any of these players including AI desync, the other players would see the desync message, in the actual game, the AI are regarded as players, like human players, they call the same functions ect, as a human player would, basicly they call the same code as what a human player does.. so they will also cause a desync.. to the other multiplayer players.. i would defo see a desync on either of the human players if any player desyncs.. totally weird huh..

ill try doing the same senario and ill build some stuff, to see if me building things has any effect..

just got my arse kicked by 2 adaptive sorian AI's no desync, no errors.. :/

give it a go try tell me if you desync pal..

Sounds like you gotta get a little better strategy there, eh Domino?
I can take on two Sorian Adaptives no problem. Yeah im just waiting on my friends to come online so we can test. I don't have two copies of the game, and my friends live in a different time zone, so when im awake, they are sleeping XD it kind of sucks. But theres always the tiny overlap.

well i wasnt really playing, i was just building lots of things and trying to force
a desync on what i know i have changed ect...

In the previous beta, it desync'd at 2:09 and got worse at roughly 10:00. We didn't have any intel structures or anything like that, heck it desync'd even before we made contact with the AI. I'll test later today, and hopefully it will be all fixed

fingers crossed.. eyes crossed.. legs crossed,

i just said to stuart were getting close now if it still desyncs, there isnt that much left to change regards to storing data in the sim.. ive virtually re-written all of the simsync code.. it works much better now, none of it is local, except for a few small things, which ill re-write over the next few days...

This has been a pain in the arse, however it pushed me to clean up all the code i need to clean up anyway... lol...

if it still desyncs, its safe to assume its in the code i havent changed... so should be alot easier to find..

You're going to hate this... desync at 11:00.... I saved the replay if you'd like to see it?

sure post it up ill take a look

Ok, whats the best way to post it?
Also something REALLY weird. during the game, the desync popped up at 11:00 but when i watched the replay... The desync occured at 1:58. Has that ever happened to people before? We (and the ais) only had factories, power, and mass. As for units, we had engineers, and transports. But the Ais had land scouts.
