Project Revolution [CANCELED]

@Jeff :
@RM38 :

I'd call that a spam post.

Matan and I had a huge discussion this evening. Higuy and I were able to get in touch, and we decided a few improvements that would benefit the community.

1. Get rid of all single player.

I have finally listened, and we all understand that MP is most important for PR. With that in mind, why not make it a multiplayer mod .

2. Sorry to Mac people

Attensions Macs:
If you do not have crossover, you can not play Multiplayer. Its an engine issue and impossible to solve. Sorry guys.

I can use WineSkin to port the windows version like I did w/ MBP. Should work well enough...

So the single player is discontinued?

I was hoping that you would come to this choice. I think it is for the better that single-player is cancelled. As we have all mentioned, it shifts the focus away from the main goal of the mod: Multiplayer. There are lots of promising single-player mods coming out, so my appetite for that is satisfied. I don't really like any of the current single player levels in PR anyway, to be honest.

I personally have a PC, so this isn't my problem, but I hope there is some way we can deal with this and the Mac users can have their fun too.

Awesome!

That's OK, I can survive without them.

BTW, did you succeed in converting my map?

Consult with PF, He who codes mac.

~Aayrl

@Aayrl, so does higuy, who has a mac , who is also the co-founder with me. I am sure he knows more torque than PF (no offense pf, I am sorry.)

@Aayrl: from our tests, we have the following results.
TCPObjects work 1/1000 times. Extremely unpredictable and unreliable.
Connecting to a server will indeed connect. Unfortunately, the game crashes when transferring datablocks. I may look into this more, but there has been no progress with this.

As the mac options make what is already a quirky bunch of codes more unpredictable, we will not be adding Mac support. Your best bet is to acquire a windows version of MBG, as it can no longer be downloaded, and play from that ( acquire)

HiGuy

Windows version can't be BOUGHT. It can still be downloaded, at least if you bought MBG from GG...

I would look into why there is a limited window after opening the application using an interior test in which TCP objects are always successfully sent and downloaded.

Acquire is a broader term than buy.

Late-@ss reply, but Linkin Park did a tour called Projekt Revolution.

I'm sure Project Revolution is not its official name - rather a code name for the project, kind of like Project Ascent.

no, tech, its official :E

Okay so I was wrong. Just seems as if it'd be a code name for a secret project or whatever.

think of one mate, and I'll write it down.

LOL

I do feel like we could come up with a better name though.

Mate? Is that what you call us now?

He's becoming Australian. Next thing he's gonna code you some kangaroos.

How about The Marble Arena?

Nice try:

@kwill, pwned by matan, as usual.

I thought Marble Arena was dead, but they're releasing Marble Arena 2 on December 13

OK, fine. How about Marble Wars: The Battle Resumes?

Marble Wars is also a game, although the battle resumes is not a title for any of those.

How about The Marble Saga: The Battle Resumes? That sounds nice and epic.

How about we get back on topic
