3DGS Users: "Are we there yet?!"
Locoweed: "Don't make me come back there!"

Actually yes, we are there, as far as the source code goes. LocooweedsMPSource.zip can now be downloaded at Locoweed's Multiplayer Page. This is the Beta. I need Beta testers fast, because this is the shortest ever Beta test, like a few days. I really need someone to check it on internet or someone to check it with me and my speedy 26k connection on the internet.

Known problems:
1) I haven't got the stupid Host camera to go back the overlooking game view after he dies. Clients OK on this.
2) I have seen a player's weapon disappear once, never to return.

The detailed game description can be found at my multiplayer page too in the tutorial PDF under Chapter 2: Defining the Game. I highly reccomend you read the description. I made changes the Damage and Armor Classes a bit on the professions after some testing, so all the Game Description isn't perfectly accurate, but it should give you an idea.

Here is a short guide on game play.

When a player first joins he has a 10 second grace period, so he won't be killed immediately on entering without having a chance. During grace period, he can't be hit, he can't shoot, but he can pick up ammo. You know a player is in grace period if he is transparent.

A player can only carry 50 rounds of ammo. To get more he need to move over a ammo power-up that goes with his weapon. If his ammo full, he can't pick up ammo power-up.

A players health not only goes down when damaged by an enemy. If player is running, this also slowly drains health. If a player is not moving at all, he is resting and gains a small amount of health over time. A players health can also be increased by moving over a lunar candy power-up. If a players health is max, he cannot pick up lunar candy.

Professions:

Biological Scientist (Guard, heh) A Bio Scientist has medium health, medium attack, and medium AC. His weapon is a Photosynthesis Emulator that shoots petri dishes of photosynthesis jelly.

Nuclear Scientist (You guessed it, Warlock). A Nukkie has low health, low ac, and great damage. His weapon is a Nuclear Rod that fires a Radiation Beam using spent nuclear fuel.

Operations Officer (CBabe maybe?) An Operations Officers has high health, high ac, and low damage. She carries a Compression Rifle which fires bullets using ammunition cartridges.

Very short description:
BioSphere IV: Lunar Mania is a game about the first attempt to put a biosphere on the moon. But after a while everyone went crazy from a disease called Lunar Psychosis Disorder. The idea is to kill the other moon dwellers and increase you Lunar Psychosis Rating, thus becoming the most insane of them all.
