Digging around in the vegastrike.config...

[Genken]

This seems like the best forum for this. Now, I know Multiplayer is planned, and there was(at one point, at least), a split-screen multiplayer. But this is interesting.

Code: Select all

<section name="player">
			<var name="realname" 	value="Nickname"/>
			<var name="email" 	value="email@where-ever.net"/>
			<var name="homepage"	value="http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/"/>
			<var name="callsign" 	value="test2"/>
			<var name="password" 	value="test2"/>
		</section>
<!-- # Networking config -->
		<section name="network">
			<var name="server_ip" value="127.0.0.1"/>
			<var name="server_port" value="6777"/>
			<var name="use_account_server" value="false"/>
			<var name="transport" value="tcp"/>
			<var name="use_webcam" value="false"/>
			<var name="use_portaudio" value="false"/>
			<var name="logintimeout" value="10000"/>
			<var name="encryption_method" value="rsa"/>
			<var name="encryption_keylength" value="128"/>
			<var name="encryption_seed" value="Blah blah blah"/>
		</section>
<!-- # End Networking -->
	</variables>

Webcam is my main curiosity. I'm guessing the Network config is part of the (hopefully)upcoming multiplayer. And then there's the Name, email, and whatnot there.

So, anyone mind explaining the webcam bit to me? Do you guys have something up your sleeves? Should I be afraid? Or is it some secret thing that I should forget that I saw, because if I dont, I'll have a couple of guys in suits and sunglasses at my door?

By the way, great game. My mouse is a little sensitive, and my joystick probably needs to be dismantled and lubed, but great game.

The idea is to allow video comms (wing commander style) between players.... that's very much on the backburner tho, that i know of.

That would be awesome. Taunting another player with a cocky look on your face. Or joking around with them. A new form of Psychological warfare! Cigars and Sunglasses.

Yeah, probably better to get a mostly bug-free multiplayer down first.
