[OGMP] Overgrowth Multiplayer Mod

[Surak]

Next meetup will be in about a week: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ogmpn ... 0650456441

This time a bit differently:

OGMP works best with parkour levels, because there it does not matter if the other players lag or not. We are running out of good levels to play though. Most custom Overgrowth levels include a big NPC fighting part, but since this is not supported by OGMP it does not make sense to play them. So I thought maybe some people are interested in creating new custom levels that we can play in a week that are specifically designed for OGMP:

* Focused on parkour, not exploration or fighting
* Medium difficulty; not too easy, but not too frustrating either

Keep in mind that you can quicksave in OGMP.

If you are interested just post your level in the discussion part of this group (with images) and we will try to play it.

I'm getting a new PC at christmas (Hopefully). So ill be back to being able to play OG, I'd love to make some more maps for OGMP. They'll probably be a mix of races, arenas, parkour-freeroam and i could try CTF because i just realised how i could get that to work
(I'll make sure to make the maps quite light on props, for performance, but also enough to make them look good)

Cant wait to join you guys again on the meetups! Keep up the good work

Hey, you can still play with us with alpha 209:

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=36437&p=235825&hilit=a209#p234081
https://github.com/ogmp/ogmp_client/archive/v0.0.3.zip

Doesn't matter for OGMP if you run a209, a210 or a211 at the moment. At some point a209 won't be supported anymore though, but not next week

Yeah, but all of this swapping between alphas on steam has broken my game completely, so i cant even run 209 anymore

the mouse is broken (doesnt show up) and its permenantly stuck in media mode because the settings are broken

Easy to fix, just delete your Wolfire folder in your Documents folder.

The start.bat for the server will not work. I tried running as admin, and I'm hosting for LAN on Windows 7 64 Bit. I extracted it using 7zip first and the server just won't start.

Try this: First press alt + r, then enter "cmd" and run it. Use "cd C:\..." to go to the ogmp_server directory and start the server again by running "start_server.bat". This way the window will stay open and you can read if there is an error message.

Thanks Surak, that worked to get my cursor back and leave media mode, but custom levels don't load xD, ah well, guess we cant have everything.
I was going to make a level for the meetup later, but I didn't have enough time

[Edit]
Oh, and deleting the Wolfire folder broke my entire computer...
but its working now, I think that was just because its so slow...

So I did what you said and I received this error message:

Exception: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

Able to shed any light on that? I tried running as administrator and this is the admin account on my PC. It should have any permissions it needs.

[Surak]

It means port 80 (the default port of ogmp) is already in use by another program. You can find out which one if you type netstat -o into cmd. You can also change the port by opening the bat file with a text editor.

[BlazingSarge]

Works so far, though I'll need to test it with my brother. Thanks for the help! I hope LAN fixes the desync we have on the San Francisco server a bit.

I'm a fool, just needed to drop it into the mod folder, not the data folder

Just fixed some stuff for a217, you can try it here: https://github.com/ogmp/ogmp_client/tree/a217
Needs testing before it's released in the main branch.
