Awesome Aubery!

Cool thanks

Aubrey,

 

I can not load any of the worlds past the point where it's loading terrain without my browser crashing, which did not happen in 2.1 period.

I can not start my own server, or join anybody elses game because of this issue.

 

I am using Opera Web Browser, and I am on a 2008 Hp Desktop Computer with Windows Vista. I have over 80% of my hard drive free.

 

Please let me know what could be causing this problem.

I played it. Only thing is that you start off with green cause you are the quarry. Can you fix that please?

Aubrey, the games take an unbelievable amount of time to load. When I was entering a game that used the lava racer (huge), it would only go up by loading the terrain by less than .00 percent every second.

Hey Aubrey, for the future, will you be able to load pre made worlds from unity, EASILY, without the need of a server?

Awesome! but, hey, how do you convert the shetchup into blender and use it in mars explorer? and does it take any programming?

YEA 2.1!!!  Wow Mars has been upgraded so rapidly lately...  But keep doind this.  I was looking at the Unity thing stuff and I agree with whoever posted this that you have the ability to download all of the curent well known worlds and you run it off your computer to do most of the loading for loading worlds.  I also move to do something.  I move that Flyclub who has given so much to the comunity giveAurbey the code for his creator so Aurbey could in his extra extra spare time modify it to be much better and make an official guide.  I also move to update the website to recognize GTR in the tributes page that he designed the Jet!!!  Must now play 2.11!!!!!!!!!!!!

The dedicated servers are great, please keep them Aubrey.

 

Glitches: The only glitch I found was that when you try to edit server settings, the box collapses at random times and I have to keep reopening it.

HI Aubrey! thanks for your hard work on this version

here is a bug, it might just be my computer, because it doesn't look like anyone else has noticed it.

but this is what i get on the server page- 

This is great!

okay then lol!

This must have been real hard. Are the non block worlds easier to load now?

Hey Aubrey, I was wondering if it was possible to convert unity worlds to blender, or if I could just play on the unity world itself... cause I REALLY want to play on this world I made in unity, and I can't do anything in blender... Thanks!

BAM!

Wait, do you think that we will be able to load Sketchup worlds too? Hope so!!  oh an Tiger you are just gona get this on your post soon...

 

Aubrey, so if the person is first into the server and gets the full control, if they leave will second online get the controls?

Hey Aubrey, I have something that you might be able to use in the new version of mars explorer.  It is a speeder.  My post whith an image of it is on the content page.  Please check it out if you get the time.  ^_^

I don't like the cams

im having trouble loading my unity level onto mars xplr... any help plz?

(EDIT) - i just need to know how to get a web adrress to put on mars xplr

k we are getting a bug on 2.11 where it is possible to get several people being the quarry' here is a picture, it is bad one as the game was ending but it shows there are 4 people being the quarry in this one picture

 

Aubrey, could you add in a feature later on to alert hosts of password protected servers that someone is trying to join?

OMG IT'S ME IN THE PIC!!! I CAN SEE MY FLYING TOWARD EXITING THE GAME!!!

 

:)

everyone else quit the game and i became host but the host left and i was still there. is that supposed to happen?          overall i really like it =)

 

Sorry for the dearth of messages for the past several days. I recently uploaded a huge update to 2.11, which brings the dedicated server implementation near to perfection. Password protected servers, inviting players, evicting players, and banning players should now all be functional when your game is utilizing a dedicated server. I also build a new system that makes starting your game on a dedicated server completely transparent: Click "Host Game", and Mars Explorer will take care of the rest. (There are no more "Dedic8ed" servers cluttering up the lobby list.) And for an ultimate bonus, games can now last forever! Whenever a game's host leaves, the dedicated server selects a new player to be host, does a bunch of tricky stuff behind the scenes, and the game goes on. Dedicated servers will only shutdown after the last connected player has left. This should take games to a new level of involvement! (I will eventually add a system to let hosts choose their successors, or possibly even have players vote for a host.)

 

2.11 gameplay has most likely been pretty spotty for the last day or two as I have been testing and updating many different versions of dedicated servers - and since the latest update included some extensive changes to the client side codebase, there are probably quite a few new bugs to eliminate.

 

My currently envisioned roadmap involves finalizing everything as rapidly as possible, and officially releasing the 2.1 series as soon as it is stable, essentially bug free, and contains a couple more refinements such as a perfected camera system. For 2.2, I am very excited to continue fine tuning the Whirld library. Cacheable, rapidly loading worlds and powerful tools to turn any kind of map into a Mars Explorer scene in one step are both high on my to-do list.

lol

YES!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WONDERFUL GAME!!!  WHAT YOU HAVE DONE WITH IT IS AWESOME!!!

I just felt like saying that again.  Aurbey has done a wonderful job with this game!

Id appreciate it if everyone, especially Aubrey would read my post.

 

Old Versions <Click the link to the left<

 

 

Love Them Dedicated Servers!

I think this is what seb was talking about.

 

I lovey the version but still misseth my RC TTwTT But anyways Great job Aubrey!!! ^^

Server handoff is terrific! Keeps momentum.

uh.... Server was kind of glichy...  just look at this pic.

 

4 people were in the active players window. and theres like over 15 people in here.  Strange huh?

 

 

Aubrey,

 

Right now I haven't noticed any glitches but my maze still is just the original part.

you should make it so you can use google sketch up because it is much easier to create.

Excellent work!

 

Just something that really annoys me...

 

On the Freestyle map, is the jet even ALLOWED to have a laser? Because, no offense, if it can't that's really stupid.

Several bugfix versions have been released since the last update, each refining the networking implementation. Although not perfect, it is getting really good!

 

Aside from the occasional master server crash (which should soon be resolved) and "no connection" players (which Unity is working on, but may take a while to actually be fixed), there are now no known networking nuances.

 

With the new dedicated servers, gameplay is far smoother than ever before! Players glide across your screen instead of jittering all over the place, and servers can last indefinitely instead terminating without warning when the host decides to leave.

 

A couple days ago I participated in an unofficial stress test - and during the course of several hours, racked up a score of 215 while having a blast engaging in action packed dogfights. I didn't experience a single glitch.

 

The next release should include a new world loading system that is FAR faster for large, detailed worlds - and with it, several awesome new maps that players like Seb and Eric have been creating. Once the new world system is perfected, 2.1x will go live - and we can all live happily ever after*.

 

All the best,

 

-Aubrey

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah we really should have an option again instead of being forced to use dedicated servers.... Plus it's not fair to boot someone out just because they're brbing for 5 minutes! The host of the game should choose to boot not the machine! How does it know that person is going to get a sandwich with fries n' gravy for five minutes?

We should keep the dedicated servers (anyone can join or host them), but the non responding glitch should be fixed instead of doing away with them.

 

That's a rather impatient server disconnect, lol!

seconds??

 

 

that's harsh!

The game is occasionally not registering hits that are confirmed by a visual laser splash on and/or a change in trajectory of said hit buggy body. (Mine and/or theirs) I am also occasionally seeing lasers travel directly through other's vehicles without any game response whatever.

 

This is rare and I'm aware that networking is being worked on. Thanks.

I also found a bug. When i was on this windows computer at school on Tuesday, i had a framerate of 30 and i was on the lowest quality setting possible. I switched to a tank. I was in the foxholes world. Wen I fell off the mountain area, i would pass through the lava floor before appearing at 1000 alt. I would then keep flying up until about 9500 alt. I would then fall and pass through the ground beneath the lava again, and the process would repeat until I reset. Another glitch that made the first one very easy was when I was a tank and flipped over and accelerated, i would jump to a speed of 150 and accelerate quickly. This was not necessary to cause the first glitch.

dude that happens to me all the time it just shoots u right up like the death brick and the only way to get down is to reset

 

 This Server has no host. Kirby left his server at the same time I joined, and left no one with a host. Kirby then rejoined and there was still no host.

 

 

 

I've found a bug - the cause of all the NR clones? - that happens whenever I host a server. Every time that a player switches vehicles they leave behind a clone of their previous vehicle. When I try to stop this by turning off every vehicle except buggys, the jet doesn't turn off. That's pretty annoying on it's own. It is impossible to turn off jets.

this is cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

red sand roasting under a scorching suuun dehydration nipping at your throught da da dum da da dum merry marsmas tttttoooooooooooooo yyyyyoooooouuuuuu!!!!!!!!!  merry marsmas yea christmas is comin up yo so how are things goin on mars since ive been gone for a month man can you belivive it an mars fanatic gone for a month well just postin to say wassup and give me your money and stuff like that bye!

I have installed the updated Unity so Safari doesn't crash when I sign in to the home site but, in games, I have no crosshairs or sniper laser. I tried 32 and 64 bit modes.

 

Back to Firefox which logs me out when I change pages...

when i add bots i can never delete them i do not know why

Aubrey, all the dedicated servers in 2.11 last night were all players no connection as VIEWED by all players, no exceptions. They were better before so maybe this means that larus chap from Unity is working on it? I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Regretfully, larus does not strike me as very motivated though, based on his replies to your plight in the Unity forum. I also noticed some members of the forum would rather talk down than help. Sorry for your frustration there. Maybe, just maybe, SOME DAY........

 

Unchecking dedicated server in game list settings allowed me to host an all players connected game which was sweet!

The dedicated servers were great at first because they did not have the "blocked by firewall when you have no firewall" bug, so anyone could join them. I think they should be kept, and the bug should be fixed.

i dont like it. it keeps saying some about fps and i cant use the options. please fix it.

ok dude if ur gonna read this we believe f b i is a spy for u but we are mad at u but were not going to war but if u attack us we will not attack but if u attack us 3 time we will probably go to war we want peace but if u do not accept peace then we will fight oh and by the way this is about u and fc
