OHM Multiplayer Lite 0.3

[EarthMoon]

This .dll doesn't crash! (But when I join a scenario with it enabled, I don't appear in http://159.89.189.73:3001/)

I stayed in a scenario for ca. 100 seconds (in the sceenshot it shows 157s because I shortly time-warped while liftoff) without having any trouble, error or CTD. Also the orbiter.log does not show anything related to multiplayer-lite.dll (except that it loads the .dll and the oapiRegisterMFDMode deprecation)

TY! I added error handling to the above dll.... It seems you are having trouble connecting. Do you happen to have any firewalls blocking outbound traffic? I can add the normal HTTP based signaling as fallback.

 

[EarthMoon]

No, my firewall seems to allow every program to connect with the internet (my browser, some other downloadable games, some apps with update checking, even my OS update checking). But I think HTTP(S) could work (because loading HTTP(S) websites in the browser and multiplayer-lite v0.1 work too). You could post it as v0.2a or v0.3 to the other versions in the orbiter addon page (for anyone else who has the same problem)

Would you be able to create an exception for orbiter.exe in whatever firewall you are using? Could help others potentially running into similar issue. At any rate, I'll update the client to fallback on http in case websocket connection fails. Thanks for all your help on this.

 

[EarthMoon]

Actually, it looks like I don't have a firewall (but I'm not sure; at least I cannot see one in my system; as nothing blocks internet connections, I did not/don't know whether I have one (which allows everything) or not, and there are easier solutions than looking through my settings for hours, e.g. HTTP)

so we tried this thing out and saw some issues. this is us docked. also when docked we cant eva anybody out of the ship or into a ship. we tried with xr1 also. shift-p to sync time on both ends. we then tried to dock with each other ie he would dock with me then i with him same issues. is docking not possible? i mean it is docked but in a very weird way as you can see in the pic. but the eva dont see it as docked. it kind of looks like it is docking at the 3dmodel transition point or center of model. if i remember correctly we had this same issue with OMP. notice where the marker "XR2-01"is in the top down pic and where the docking occurs in the second pic. its docked right at its marker

THat's an interesting result. Docking DOES work, and it is NOT usually glitchy like that. Are you both definitely running the release version of Orbiter2016 (2016828)?

i believe this issue is just for the xr vessels. pretty sure we had this same issue in OMP

Hi everyone, RacerX and I been playing online tonight and over TeamSpeak. Come join the new dedicated TeamSpeak server -

planetarydefense.ddns.net

No password needed.

where can we find the server files to host?

AFAIK this is cloud based. So no package to do your own hosting.

That's why OMP later on supported a blacklist to not share the XR2_Bay vessel. I remember that this fixed the issue.

Wondering who was playing around with XR2 in high earth orbit.

That was me

I have an idea, while using this if we find someone that is also in the server flying around is there a way, we can have them attach their discord handle name in the MFD so we can communicate with them?
What I'm saying is whenever we fly, and we meet another aircraft we have a way to identify who the orbinaut is.

Something like this -
Also since there is a webpage using the IP to see who is online using that same address you can host a TeamSpeak server and put that in the MFD for those who don't have discord.

This looks very interesting. Will you be releasing the server side so I can run it locally with friends?

Personally I think it’d be too much of a pain in the ass to have users run their own server.

What is the driving force behind this? Orbiter community is already pretty small, most of the times the server is empty.

Would being able to create a “room” with your friends help?
