Is that a new record!?

Several schools have bitfighter installed on their school computers. This would be a LAN (though not really LAN) party in a class.

Haha nice catch Opti, those guys must've been fun to game with...

I wonder if the Bitfighter tracker can differentiate between LAN and online players slightly, like giving disctint colored text to LAN players. The tracker can be a little misleading sometimes if it lists players who you can't actually play with.

idn maybe have players names italicized or bolded if they are on a LAN?

Actually this brings up another issue:

Should we always force game publishing to the master server? I.e. have an option to turn it off?

only if its online and not local.

It is awesome that some schools have Bitfighter on their computers. Maybe I could get my school to do the same 0.o

my old junior high school had the original ZAP on all the computers in one of my classes. ^_^

but yeah only force connect if its online if its lan no =p

unless you can htink of a way to alow online connetion to a LAN game that would be cool.

That literally doesn't work. Like, when you drop a weight, it's going to hit the ground, not start floating upwards into the sky. In the same way, online connections can't connect to LAN.

I could see some use for this, like if I simply wished to edit a level and didn't want people to think I was online and actively gaming. On the flip side, if I forgot about this "toggle" feature and left it off then it could be detrimental to me if I wanted to lurk and wait for players to connect.

I think LAN players should still show up in the tracker. If I was a student at that school, then I might be interested in knowing if a friend of mine was in the game. However, since it's misleading to the majority of players I still think colored or italicized text or something is necessary to help users differentiate.

If possible to specify, I don't think players inside of the level editor should appear in the tracker. 95% of the time a user testing a level is occupied and probably won't be thrilled about having someone else butt in and try to play.

Actually, it would be very easy if you port forward Zap's port. I wanted to try that out once, but I didn't I really should. Actually, I am going to try right now. Later dudes.
