The second test-match has concluded.

See the team forums here:

and
http://codogames.yuku.com/forums/26

Fuzzy has hinted that he'll be able to manage more than one match at a time now (once the CODO server starts behaving, of course).
So, time to discuss the latest match...

Hmm maybe you could have a multiplayer MT/WG or nader battle anyway ?

As for joining a team, the funny thing is, after reading the now visible forum that I just noticed for round 1 matches, it looks like a laugh TBH. I think that's the key to the team games though - having somewhere to communicate, for some reason I had this vision of joining and being emailed spammed by the gobbo every ten minutes.

I was thinking about that the other day.

I wonder if fuzzy could hack the client to disable direct and op fire. If so we could have multi - sided games with force fire only.

Edit : actually they could probably be disabled in the configs anyway, and then fuzzy would just have to check the turn files for any cheating.

I don't know how he'd deal with spotting enemies that the server believes are on the same team, but judging from other threads perhaps he's not far off that...

You know, you could always join a team DA and use the old pinkline to turn on your teamates and thus start an impromtu 3 way.
Can you imagine the ruckus?
You'd probably cause a total sh!tstorm in the forums.

As a wise man once said, "Only the paranoid survive."

Here are all the differences between the original "LSNClient.exe" and the "LSNClient-mphack.exe" that's used for these matches:

Correct. I issue bogus username/password (for example, thall became "MPthall" in this match) pairs to players, and we've switched to using a slightly tweaked version of the client (if you're paranoid, I can show you the strings I changed) that will automatically use the different...
