    I can't get the public test to download :(

    It's only a limited window for when they bring the server up for testing, so you missed it. This last time was about 8 solid hours of availability. The best way to keep on top of it is to follow their twitter. I'll also try to post in the thread if I see it go live again.

    Yup. The dev was in chat and said that it leveled out at about 620. I wasn't getting any FPS drops at all, there were some lag issues but that's mostly because syncing of weapons/parachuting/etc isn't done yet. The cap was 1500 people.

    Wow I was wondering why this thread was getting so much attention. Is this mod easy to install? Or is it a pain?

    not much of an install. run the executable, tell it the IP (in the readme) and point it to your jc2 install and click launch

    If you could do missions and such this way, and have npcs and stuff spawn, I don't think I'd ever need another game.

    Wow this mod is pure chaos. Fun though.

    You're... uh, you're thinking kind of smallish

    player run factions.

    5 tanks crest the hill, and begin battering at the gate of a compound. The defenders launch some rockets, knocking the tanks silly. Two helicopters fly in, only to be blasted apart by an anti-air cannon. Then the infantry arrive, storming the gates, and pushing the defenders back.

    or

    races - players start on a boat, racing to a pier. When they reach it, they hop in a car, and race down the highway to an airstrip. They exit the car, jump into a plane, and have to fly to a predetermined location. No grappling allowed.

    Don't forget the "obstacles" during those races. Players just stationed around on mini-guns, anti-vehicle turrets, around corners in tanks, you name it.

    Basically, it's Death Race: Panua Edition. There should also be a couple people just flying around as "referees" in the best, fastest 'copters. Penalties come in the form of missiles and terrible commentary/puns.

    I want that game.

    This is incredible fun, but it seems to set my antivirus (free AVG) off every time i use it. Anyone else have this issue? It's a little concerning although i doubt it means anything.

  • StormwatcherStormwatcher Blegh BlughRegistered User regular
    It's ridiculous how much better the game looks on a PC, after playing the PS3 version. I mean, it's different enough to look like a generation apart.

    And now I know why the original devs didn't make JC2 MP. It would be last game ever released. Society would collapse.

    MY completely unfounded guess would be the fact that the MP thing probably uses all kinds of RAM and EXE hook sorcery to work with the base game, the kind of magic that trojans and virii employ for completely different purposes. Of course, this could be 100% wrong. But makes sense to me.

    Can you have the passenger stand on the roof of the car while the driver is driving?

    This mod looks like tons of fun, I'll have to try it out the next time it goes live.

    New client. Need to redownload.

    edit: Man, I really hope they release the server software at some point.

    Just so we can have a dedicated PA server, or I can set up a small server for friends. Trying to play with the internet at large is ... aggravating.
