FS-UAE Net Play

[R-TEAM]

It would be more usable, if the user have an extra tab in the gui to config and start the server simple - and i have it tryed (windows,dev version,looks it works - have atm not the time to test real play with friends) and found one problem is, the server self is running in the background and you mussr use the taskmanager to find an kill it ... would be nice to have an GUI option for stop the server ..

Regards

Try just --server for 2.6.x!

FS-UAE Launcher is supposed to show a simple window for the server when it starts one, and closing this window should stop/kill the server...

I think we should try and get a user friendly Auto Netplay with chatroom into FS-UAE similar to the custom created one in MAMEHub but our own auto one of course.

Hello everyone... I dont have the excellent programming skills of Frode!
But I have been trying to create an easy setup for netplay sessions...
So far I have something ready as a front-end application for FS-UAE and Im in need of beta testers for support and feed-back!

if anyone is interested, please give www.amigalive.com a try!
Thanks!

hi,
how can i play in p2p mode?

on document it says:

/hostgame <host>[:<port>] [<players>] [<password>]

in <host> what should I write?? my local ip (192.168.0.2) or my public ip (93.xx.xx.xx)?

Local IP if you are both in local area else public IP if you are on Internet

in my Default.fs-uae i set :

netplay_server = 195.154.6.22 #IP of my own server
netplay_feature = 1
netplay_port = 25101 # Default is 25100 : you can try perm serv @ fengestad.no:25101
netplay_password = Amiga # Password set on my Server
netplay_tag = CED # My Nickname

thanks Foul.
i have tried with a friend:
with "/startgame fengestad.no" it works good.
with "/hostgame 93.147.xx.xxx:27886" the game starts but remain on the blue graphic screen "WAITING FOR GAME".

why?
my 27886 port is open (i use it everyday on Kaillera)

You have to start a server first ? I don't know what you mean with P2P.
What i know is that normaly you have to start a server first. It can run on your host PC and then you start FS-UAE 2nd time and both player connect to your server.

thanks Bazong,
how can i start the server? i use Linux.

if i try to play netplay with myself (with 2 FS-UAE open) it works.

sudo apt install fs-uae-netplay-server

and your server is ready

ArchLinux doesn't have fs-uae-netplay-server package. where can i download the source code?

... i use windows. But please read from Post #313 and further, there are different ways to run the server.

Thanks Bazong. indeed "fs-uae-netplay-server" is deprecated, now it is part of fs-uae-launcher:

$ fs-uae-launcher --app=fs-uae-netplay-server --port=25100

p.s.
another question:
there is some workaround to use HDF files on fs-uae netplay?

EDIT:
i SOLVED: i have extracted HDF with ADFOpus and zipped files. now it works on netplay!
