Spectate is defective

[oldmud0]

It just doesn't work. Not sure if it works in the original.

Users with the Online Community for Terrordrome have confirmed that this doesn't work. In the old version of MTSP and Telepone this feature works. It's possible to find the Last mtsp source and see if you can revert the code back. My community would be willing to test this.

All right then, it has been confirmed. I will place my efforts on pinpointing the issue.

I need someone else to do this. FM won't let me have two of the same game open, even if they have different .kgt file names.

If you want you can send me whatever you got and I can get this tested we
have plenty of people that play Terrordrome online each day.

That's fine, I just need one person to start the game while I am spectating them so that I can generate a nice pretty exception while I'm debugging. But while you're at it, maybe you can have the pre-release tested?

EDIT: I got a few Vanguard Princess players on and it seems that they can spectate just fine. Works for Type Wild fine too. Is 2DFM or LilithPort crashing? All I need are a few error logs.

@oldmud0 2DFM is crashing when me and my other dev try to spectate. But at one point in time it worked but I got a error after awhile saying "ERROR: Could not synchronize; leaving spectator mode...
"
My connection isn't the best so he is going to test it with someone else that has better internet than I do.

After more testing it started working for me and was stable. But whenever I
was getting spectated it was reported to him that nothing happened on my
watchers end the game didn't even load.

It sounds like LilithPort is having trouble receiving packets. I'm not sure why that would happen though; the latency would have to be through the roof for things not to happen in sync.

From my understanding, game frame data is sent through the server and to the spectators if you are a client. If you are a host, then it relies on your ports being opened for spectators to connect directly to you.

Ooh ok will it still has some issues some are able to spectate while others are not and their game crashes.

Btw chat sound isn't working at all with this Pre-Release

[oldmud0]

??? Really? It's supposed to mute while in game, but I'll check it.

[Bradsama]

Yea if ya need a way to test connect to terrordrome server at
trdm.duckdns.org port 7500

People on there just about all the time
