Yep, I tried to make quick changes and broke the server.   I'll have it fixed within the hour and back online, post a message if you'd like to try to still get together in an hour or so or if you'd just like to wait until the third session to play.

Sorry for the hassle.

Okay, figured out and fixed the problem already.  If anyone is still interested in trying to resurrect this session I'm uploading now and will post another message when it's done.

I just connected and im still not seeing any servers on list

I thought everyone had abandoned me so I went back to work on it before the 3rd session.

Sorry, hope I'll see you for the last session.  I will hopefully have chat working so we can actually talk in-game....wouldn't that be novel? :-p

Well, my colo company was having some issues yesterday so the third session got dropped when I couldn't even connect to the server to push up the updates to the game.  I have a trouble ticket to get this resolved once and for all and supposedly they are working on it.  We will reschedule once I've had a chance to fix more of the bugs and add some cool new features.

Thanks again for all the people that played Roll-A-Rama-Thon and we'll definitely do it again.

Tell you what,

Do you have a database active on youre server.

Would be really cool to set up a league, teams etc. Could even schedule in matches.

Also, can you add tricks, like allowing the player to do jump skills, lobbing the ball, and headers ( keep shift down )

[darkfrog]

Yes, I do have a database.  Teams exist already although there is currently no way to choose what team you're on.  I plan to have player stats and such in the future.

Can you define "jump skills" as I already have jumping and don't know what else I could add there. :-p

Lobbing the ball is already implemented, just hold down the right mouse button instead of the left.

Don't know what you mean by "headers".  I was considering implementing power-ups that randomly appear on the board like "invisibility", "go faster", "fireball" (would knock people away from you that got too close), "super jump", "chameleon" (look very close to the color of the other team), "hover", "slow down" (also a bad one), "small ball" (not necessarily a good thing to get), and "big ball" (you can trample the other players).
