An actual Multiplayer OpenBVE (NOT Teamspeak)
« on: March 20, 2015, 01:03:36 am »
Hey guys, I'd like to gauge interest in an actual Multiplayer OpenBVE client, where you can see each other in the game.  (OpenBVE/BVE still limit you to a single line, so you'll only see other players on the same route)  I'm not talking about Teamspeak or anything.  Let me know what you guys think.

This is a good idea which would be benefical and allows even more people to play. The problem is for people with a slow internet connection (like me) and for with people operating different routes but on the same "track" (ex. A and D), would people who are tower operators be able to control 2 routes at the same time like on Teamspeak?

Two routes on the same track are still considered 2 seperate routes.  There isn't anything that can be done in that case.

And yes it is just like the old multiplayer that was first released many months or years ago.

There will be a public alpha test next month for anyone interested to try.  There will likely be a small set of public servers (viewable by everyone), with the possibility to rent a non-public (anybody can connect, but it won't be viewable to everyone) server if you want to play with your friends or something.

It uses a modified version of OpenBVE and there won't be any support for Macs.

Why won't there be support for Mac :( I would love to play a multiplayer openBVE!

Well I'm not saying it won't run on Macs, its just that its not supported.  Since it was built and tested to work on a Windows machine, thats what I'll be officially supporting.

This project has also been delayed a month due to other things happening, I don't have the time to dedicate to it right now.

Ah. So you mean that if all goes well, they could possibly be development for Mac/Linux?
