Online Play

[champion88]

Does anyone know when online play is going to be added, because I miss playing with all my high school buddies and online play would be a way to keep the "Pocket Tanks Professionals" alive!

[Arkrados]

If there isn't online play, what's this? I found this pic on yahoo, but I dont get it, I thought there was no online.

Don't know. Check the root folder. http://www.blitwise.com/ptanksnet_pics
Maybe they are screenshots of the version that Blitwise is working on. Like a beta version or something (not fully functional).

That is indeed exactly what it is. As we've mentioned before, we've got a network play version running in the office, but it's got a lot of kinks and quirks to work out before it even goes so far as being beta tested, I believe.

[Was It Me?]

Well, it's looking good. :)

[Kalphite]

Looking Very VERY good! I would say its a lot better then i had expected, i mean, the ability to remove certain weapons like gammablaster? AWESOME :D

[Neko244]

Wow, that looks pretty good! :)

[Zwaken]

It is indeed better than i thought. And i had high expectations!

[CutlipCWA]

So, is there a wild guess as to when the beta will be out, and whether there's a mailing list for beta testers? ;)

so um brian...you need any testers.....

[danny boy]

Yes-if any beta testers are needed I am definitely open. I have basically a whole entire life of freetime :p

[zetablack]

dude alot of people will want to test.

[mariano90_arg]

Do you have any other photo??
And post it.. or say where you got it.
plizz!

[Was It Me?]

All of them that _I_ know of are at the 3rd post from the top of this thread. :)

[Zone101]

Looks great. I like the chat thing too.
When is this likely to be released? Obviously next year but when next year?

[Everlast]

Actually I have 3 questions about internet play...

Ok first, say two people are in a match but one of the person Internet shuts off. Will the match continue with one player doing nothing? Or will it end the match?

Second, will there be an option for the host to kick/bann a player from his server?

Third will there be a language filter. Which means people can't say any bad words, because I hate playing on games where people are cussing all the time.

[Death]

I'll test.

[Midnite Rayne]

I'd love to test. Online Pocket Tanks has been my dream sence I was in 9th grade(I'm now in college). This game is so much fun and finally being able to play someone better than the level 10 AI would be quite nice. I hope this comes out soon.

[krease]

beta testing is fun!! this guy here at college found out about PT.. now we're all playing it!! except this one guy somehow figured a way to get the expansion packs for free.. i paid for some of them though.. he got the full versions of neon wars and dx ball somehow too.. he got them at home ...so i dunno..

but yea PT ROCKS!

[Mithu]

Man, online would be awsome.

[zetablack]

we need more than 2 players we need like 4

[VoLAN]

If you want to test at 45,2 kbps, so I'm ready to try (56 kbps modem)

[Mad Jak]

this picture is real?

[blue_moon]

this picture is real?

Uh, scary. Set the time to -5 hours, then look at the time you posted and the date of the last post. 1:13 and 1-13-07. Also, don't bump dead topics.

[Black Magic]

oooh... online play would be a great feature... I hope spammers and glitchers don't invade like Metroid Prime Hunters...X_X

[Slade]

Interesting. BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT MY EXPANSION PACKS ONTO THE V1.1!!!

[blue_moon]

Move them into the new folder.

[Slade]

Move them into the new folder.

But I've tried that and it still didn't work!:(

[blue_moon]

Well, I'll show you how to do it...
If you didn't move ANYTHING yet... (http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o28/claymotion001/change_packs1.jpg)
If you moved only the weapon folders already... (http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o28/claymotion001/change_packs2.png)
hope this helps...

[Slade]

I'll check it out. Thanks Blue! Actually, is the shareware thing (v1.1) the "deluxe 1.1"?

[blue_moon]

Well, for any more questions, please PM. I don't want to get off topic. If you bought it, its deluxe. Actually, if it doesn't ask you to buy it every time you start up, its deluxe. Otherwise, its a demo.

[Slade]

AAaaaaaaarrrggghhhh! I tried it but it didn't work!?!?!?!?!?!`(

[Was It Me?]

Better yet, you can e-mail the actual BlitWise technical support (which is Brian) at techsupport@blitwise.com to solve the issue. ;)

[nickerdoodle]

why not try haveing some pocket tanks people try it out like the free download version just put in a time limit that they can play:cool:

[Everlast]

Is online play for Pocket Tanks Deluxe planned to come out after the Super DX-Ball Deluxe update?

[blue_moon]

Only Mike W. can guess. I mean, look at the expansions for PTanks.

[Slade]

I can't wait for online play! It would be awesome:)

[blackheart]

Any updates from someone from blitswise as to when the online patch will be ready. This has and still is a favotire game between my friends and it would be sweet to be able to play online. This game is a cult favorite and really deserves the upgrade.

[blue_moon]

I think you are going to have to wait, as the weapons are coming out now, and it would be a complete new version, I don't think they could fit that in a patch.

[Saint Wacko]

I would be willing to make a huge sacrifice and volunteer for beta testing. Playing PT online has been my lifelong dream. One other great thing would be more than two players.

[blue_moon]

Dude, everyone wants to be a tester, even I. I bet I never will, I mean, when's the last time they even picked them?

[Slade]

I probably haven't been around long enough to be picked. Sure I post alot, but I doubt that's what the're looking for; I'm guessing they'd need someone with the knowledge to do it.

Never say never. They could pick you. Even if it's 300 years from now.

[Brian]

Anyone who is interested in testing should look at the applicable topic in our FAQs. While I haven't checked on the Weapon Suggestion thread in some time, I promise, after this whole crazy release is done with, I'll get to it.
