Post by: Happybobjr on March 27, 2011, 09:38:14 pm

Lets have a Haxball room for Omnimaga.
I don't know if you guys have seen it before, but it isn't blocked yet at most schools. Best part, multiplayer.

New room opened up. Currently no time/score limit, playing it with Darl.
We should setup something to hold the room open for us.

Post by: Happybobjr on March 27, 2011, 11:21:43 pm

I believe the laggyness occures because of a dist from juju's server.

Michael had no laggyness, as eeems and I both had allot of lag.
People such as DJ should be fine though ;)

Cool, I like how in this one anyone can start the game :D

EDIT: it would be pretty cool if we set up a meet-up time for this...

EDIT2: maybe the time HCWP starts, but on a different day (Saturday, It's Friday, Tuesday, something like that)

Title: Re: Omnimaga Haxball
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 03, 2011, 01:53:15 am

What does HCWP have to do with Haxball, though? ??? (It's around 7 PM I think btw, on wednesdays)

Title: Re: Omnimaga Haxball
Post by: Darl181 on May 03, 2011, 01:54:11 am

I meant like that seems to be the best time when most ppl have open schedules. Only thing common with HCWP would be the time :P

Title: Re: Omnimaga Haxball
Post by: Happybobjr on May 03, 2011, 02:19:08 pm

Well, this might not completly work out :(. I still haven't run for 48 hours to report if it will cause issues :P.

For my server, I am just leaving IE9 open on haxball. Unfortunatly it uses 90,000K memory (Task Manager) and that is a little rediculous in my opinion. Is there a way I can use less memory? I tried to see if I could download the game alone so I wouldn't have IE9 waste memory, but I failed. Any suggestions?

Title: Re: Omnimaga Haxball
Post by: Darl181 on May 03, 2011, 07:53:24 pm

I had a random thought that Netham45 might be able to keep it open since he has #omnimaga servers always up anyway, but I don't really feel like adding on to the possible stress of running an IRC chan :P

As for suggestions for you, maybe run it in something other than IE, maybe firefox or chrome.

Title: Re: Omnimaga Haxball
Post by: Happybobjr on May 03, 2011, 08:30:16 pm

Not firefox. it takes 200K :P

I might try chrome though

Title: Re: Omnimaga Haxball
Post by: Darl181 on May 03, 2011, 10:17:13 pm

I noticed a lot of people asking what the controls are, so I'll explain them here.

Arrow keys/WASD
Space/X/Shift/Ctrl/Numpad 0

=
=

Move
kick ball

That's all there is to it ;)

EDIT:
This is a lot more fun with more people...
I've been thinking of a possible meet-up time, so people know when a game is likely to be going on, so in turn there's more players ;)
How about something like 8pm/20:00 forum time, on Tuesdays and Thursdays?
Would that work for most people, or might a different time be better?

So me and Jim went to play (since we're both European and there was no lag!!!). I hosted it and jim and I played together, it was fun, but I kicked ass :P

Here are the screenshots of one of our games, we also played against other people as a team, and we, of course ~~won~~ lost repeatedly.

This is me scoring Jim

(http://img.removedfromgame.com/imgs/2-Screenshot-1.png)
It's Jim's turn to start the game

Hello Mario Carbajal, my name is James Oldiges.

For quite a while my friends and I have been big fans of Haxball and the entertainment it brings.
I have set up a very rudimentary server for Haxball, meaning that I just leave the internet open in a Haxball room.
Many communities such as Omnimaga, a calculator programming community, have taken great interest in Haxball and have regular games together. Do to the variety of locations people live, getting a set time together can be rather difficult because of the time zones. We have calculated that I am just about dead center of where everyone lives. Because we don't know when everyone will be on, people periodically check to see if anyone (from Omnimaga) is playing. This works quite well as I leave the room open 24/7, but it takes quite a toll on my laptop from overheating and memory usage. Internet browsers in general take allot of power to run constantly, having tested IE8, IE9, FF 3.6, FF 4.0, and Google Chrome. Are there any intentions on creating a server program or anything of the like, that would just connect to Haxball or the hosting computer? If not, do you know of any way that would be more efficient for me to host a room?

Thank you for your time,
-James Oldiges. Education Fanatic.

This game seems fun to me. Gotta play it some times.

Title: Re: Omnimaga Haxball
Post by: Darl181 on May 10, 2011, 12:51:11 am

Just got an idea for this.
Different fields for different player 1337ness levels.
People of the same skill level would play against others of the same skill level.

To start, possibly we could hold a tournament, 1v1 of the people who play the game currently. From the results, different skill levels, or "tiers", would then be determined--into bronze, silver and gold.

After that, a universal password for the earned tier level and the level(s) below is PMed or something to people respectively.

Like, bronze has a password, silver has another password, and gold has yet another. A person who earned bronze would get the password to the bronze field, and a person who earned gold would get the password to the bronze, silver and gold fields.

A person can move up a level in one of two ways:
1. Challenge someone from the tier above
2. Get noticed by a person from the tier above, and be challenged

(btw, is tier even the right word...)

Also, one could possibly be "demoted" or something if they don't match the skill level of others in the same level.

Rooms wouldn't have to be up all the time, one could announce the temporary creation of a room of a given level on IRC or something, then link it.

I guess that about sums up what's been going through my head...
So, any thoughts? Suggestions?

Title: Re: Omnimaga Haxball
Post by: ruler501 on May 10, 2011, 12:52:40 am

Sounds great but hard to implement.

I believe tiers would be the right word in that case

Title: Re: Omnimaga Haxball
Post by: Darl181 on May 10, 2011, 01:00:14 am
