CAVEPACKER: Multiplayer waiting dialog/player list rendering is broken

[mgerhardy]

most likely due to the RTT feature of CavePacker...

I don't know if this is the right place to post this issue, excuse me for that, but in the multiplayer menu there is nobody, even when i click on the refresh button. Perhaps effectively there is no server or nobody, but it generates some frustration :) So i propose / suggest you

• to add the possibility to play locally with friends
• or disable this menu

or to add bots

If someone in your network starts a server - you would see him there. This is for local network games.

you could open the game console (shift+tab) and type cl_connect <ip> <port> (where port is optional) to connect to a remote server. But unfortunately the games are not popular enough to have a multiplayer community ;)

Oh. any cavepacker only has one map for multiplayer. I've never found the time to do more. But still playing sokoban in multiplayer is quite cool ;)

I did not know this command i have trying to test it with 2 sessions of the game on the same PC: on the 1rst one i go to the multiplayer menu on the 2nd likewise, and i open a console and i type cl_connect localhost (i have try also cl_connect 127.0.0.1), but he displays "Couldn't connect to remote host".

Have you planned to implement a simpler way to start a multiplayer session? (With for example a menu "Launch a server" and another "Connect to a server")
