Reminder: the experimental Swift IPv4/IPv6 Netrek server is at netrek.networkmom.net I fixed a bunch of bugs reported by Bill Balcerski: (thanks!) + max speed key now works + phaser misses show ok + cloaking fixed + flag “blinks” every second fixed + bombing drops shields + quit and fast quit now terminate the tcp socket, but no “countdown there everyone is looking at you” ;-) - Still need to check out “planet identify when orbiting”. I also added some features: + fixed planet visibility + plasma (including phasering plasmas and homing algorithm). I even send the client a message telling them the target the plasma is “locked” onto when he fires. + Some restrictions on launching starbases (2+ kills, refit only) + Refitting ships works Still many more to go, player stats, player invisibility when 1/3 map away from hostiles, and genocide logic. I also made my server generate a report when you connect on port 2591. Here’s the output: droot at MacBookPro2019 ~ % nc netrek.networkmom.net 2591 <>=======================================================================<> Pl: Rank Name Login Host name Type <>=======================================================================<> F0: Ensign darrellR SwiftRules redacted CA <>=======================================================================<> Feds: 1 Roms: 0 Kli: 0 Ori: 0 No wait queue. <>=======================================================================<> By comparison: droot at MacBookPro2019 ~ % nc pickled.psychosis.net 2591 <>=======================================================================<> Pl: Rank Name Login Host name Type <>=======================================================================<> R1: Ensign Demoralizer Pre_T_Robo #.psychosis.net SC F2: Ensign Shredder Pre_T_Robo #.psychosis.net CA F3: Ensign Smasher Pre_T_Robo #.psychosis.net CA F4: Ensign Wrecker Pre_T_Robo #.psychosis.net CA R5: Ensign Banisher Pre_T_Robo #.psychosis.net BB F6: Ensign Blaster Pre_T_Robo #.psychosis.net CA R7: Ensign Eradicator Pre_T_Robo #.psychosis.net CA Iv: Ensign Kathy Robot Nowhere SB <>=======================================================================<> Feds: 4 Roms: 3 Kli: 0 Ori: 0 No wait queue. <>=======================================================================<> Is that good enough to get the metaserver to work? I was not immediately able to get the metaserver code in GitHub to run without segmentation faults so I haven’t tested. I do not believe my server will accept “observer” logins so I think port 2591 is the only way to get data at this time.
