Can you suggest a date then? Pretty much anything works for me.

I skipped my university graduation altogether. It felt good to be out of there after the last final exam and I wasn't about to go back right away.

[AusRED5]

Set a date and time.

And be sure to give us a time zone - eastern, central, or western.

[CP5670]

How does this Saturday at 11:00 PM EST sound? I can generally play uninterrupted for several hours in the night (here), if it works for the rest of you. We can use the HLP IRC channel to coordinate games.

hehe... Your Saturday night will be my Sunday afternoon-ish 1pm! 
I'll try to make it.

Those of you who want to join in. Be sure to get the latest version of D2X-XL from Diedel's site or you might end up not being able to join.
Either that, you could cause bad game play do to mismatch of D2X-XL versions. 

[jr2]

I might be able to make that one... we'll see. 

[CP5670]

uh...I'm an idiot. I didn't realize that today is in fact the 2nd, the same date that was suggested earlier. Anyway, I'll stick around the IRC channel around 11:15 EST and see if anyone is available.

the latest update to d2xxl is runing brutally fast with all the cool gizmoes turned on. anyone around for a game sometime in the next couple days?

[CP5670]

We couldn't really get it working. It kept crashing on my end when someone died. We'll probably try again in a few days though.

[Nuke]

ok. i just got the next 2 days off and il probibly just spend it doing nothing otherwise, like getting all the bugs out of my camera rotation code for my game engine

[AusRED5]

Sorry I couldn't make it guys.
I am sooooo sick it's not even funny.

CP, can you please do a bug report on this at the SF.net site.
That'd be great, thanks.

Looks like I will have to do another multiplayer debugging session ... 

[Mars]

I've acquired Windows and I'll be installing it tonight, so hopefully I'll be joining you all next session.

[Nuke]

ive been playing my way through descent 1. almost everything is working good

[simX]

I don't think we'll be able to return to the old days of last summer, when we were having a game practically every night, but I'm guessing people will have much more free time once the academic year ends. I haven't seen watsisname around here in a while, but we can probably ask simX to join us again.

I disagree -- we should totally get games going every night again.

I've been busy lately what with work and school, but now that both are ending (I go to school, and I also work at a school ) I will have gobs of free time.  I'm also willing to rope watsisname into playing as well; we talk pretty frequently, so he can't hide.

Just throw an IM my way whenever anybody wants to play.

[jr2]

This weekend I should be able to play late night - early morning EST, perhaps also earlier in the evening, not sure.

[Nuke]

maybe il show up, if i dont have any problems with the new computer im building on thursday.

[jr2]

If you do, drop me a line, I'll try to help if possible.

[Nuke]

ive also been working on robot textures 25 down 60 to go, and then the animations.

make that 30

It'd be helpful if we could get a dedicated server up that was running (stable) most of the time. That seemed to work well before anyway.. people would randomly join my server and sometimes games would start up spontaneously, but there were also organized ones as well when we'd all agree on a time. Unfortunately I've changed ISPs since then and I'm on a router now that gives me all kinds of grief with d2 or I'd just host again. 

[jr2]

Which router?  Go to http://portforward.com/ ; they have good instructions there on how to set stuff like that up.
