Just some really ghetto syncing with me and Dinomite in-game together, basically I just update xyz cords from both sides as well as some minor input for re-spawn and weapon switch.

Obviously not the way the final version would be done but just wanted to screw around.

Also note worth is I haven't been able to spawn a second player without the game doing it itself my friend handled that back in 07 and he had it working I've also completely lost contact with him,
I can't seem to figure it out going to keep trying but we may end up beginning this project with 4 player split-screen matches sadly... Screen looking over the internet anyone? lol.

I don't have much experience with d3d either, but in opengl I use glClear, and with 3D games usually graphics programmers set it to also clear the depth buffer and stencil buffer. Sometimes those two buffers are even combined. I doubt this game does anything with the stencil buffer though.

This is the kind of thing I've missed in the past, even when I've written it myself. Then worn myself out for a week trying to figure out why something isn't rendering properly. It's kind of interesting to me that that's a problem that exists in the PC version at all. That's the kind of thing I'd think they'd notice and fix early on in the development of the multiplayer.

It warms my heart to see T:E multiplayer on a PC. I'm excited to be able to play with you all in the future, if possible. Thank you Permanull and Dinomite for all of your work.

Holy shit was not expecting this but great to see permanull im definetly still interested in this and the video is bad ass Dino. Wow! Really Lost Land or bust dude.

Edit: The video is uploaded. Enjoy!

Q & A:
Q: Are the Kronosaurus, Mammoth etc. in the game?
A: Yes but we havent found a way to spawn them without crashing the game yet.
Q: Is this the definitive way to spawn?
A: No, its for development only.
Q: Will there be a video showcasing non-beta things being spawned too?
A: Probably. I'll get around to making it in a while.
Q: When will the multiplayer be released?
A: Noone knows to be honest. Theres still alot to do before its in top working order.

I leave you with a demo of text rendering:

Awesome! Love the sight of progress.

I've made minor progress recently...

I reverse engineered the engine object spawning system I still haven't gotten it spawning objects yet though I did get it to spawn them to memory (just not place them on the map) trying to figure that part out.

Though the good news is now that I've found the area that I have after some reversing, time and patience I should be able to effectively disable the second player which I'm hoping will also remove the 2nd screen and in doing so will remove the rendering issues due to there being no overlay.

After that I would simply spawn the players manually for additional players joining the game.

With reversing the object spawns I also managed to find the weapon errors, pickups, and etc rendering function so I was able to produce custom text rendering straight to the screen which I'm sure will be useful once I want to display "Player joined", "Player killed X" or etc.
