RFC MP Test: Numero Dos

[Whitefire]

I think that "no tech brokering" should always be enabled in MP

What will that fix? Presumably, the players working together will follow specific tech paths separate from one another. They'll still be able to trade the techs they research to one another freely. It's doubtful that another player team will trade with them, so tech brokering never places a restriction on tech trading.

well at least it would limit this exploit to just 2 players

If you discover a tech, you can trade it to anyone. So the exploit will work regardless of the number of people in a team.

I wonder how do the techs awarded at start count for the "tech brokering" system. Do they count as if the civ researched them or not ?

[Rhye]

[Radunz]

I wonder, is a vanilla RFC being developed for multi player? I know it must be difficult to do the coding to make a huge mod like this multi player compatible for one version of the game, 3 must be ungodly. I'd probably assume vanilla RFC multi player would be developed last if at all, however if such a thing is in existence, I would be very excited to know about it.

 

[Rhye]

no, it's not gonna be.
Imagine that every little change I make, I've got to export it to all the 4 versions (the 3 + MP). Which will sooner or later become 5 (random map version).
Imagine if there were 3 MP...

(random map version).

Amazing news! When? It's got to be really soon if you talk about it. Please give us a few more details on that. Like are civs going to spawn at the same dates for example? Will we be able to play on a Europe map?

 

[Rhye]

no, not soon. It'll begin when no more adjustments are needed and MP is released.
There's already a thread about it somewhere.

 

[TheAmerican]

I'll be here for the October 7th game/release. If its possible, I'd like to reserve the Vikings, and possibly the Americans.

 

[Úmarth]

Today then. Are we starting from 3000BC?

 

[Rhye]

it's entirely up to Whitefire.
I'll be online from 6 to 7 PM GMT+1 (9 to 10 AM Pacific)

You can add me on MSN, ICQ, YIM at that time so that I can send you the links of the download

 

[TheAmerican]

I will be on at around 3pm Rhye's time, after I pick up my pay check.

@Rhye What is your MSN?

 

[Sette7]

[Rhye]

my MSN, as well as my other IM are written on the readme.

I'm online now and be going in less than one hour

 

[Úmarth]

Well I added your msn but I missed you. Damn :/

 

[Jet]

What's going on?

 

[TheAmerican]

I think I might have missed it.
