Zelaron Multiplayer Games

[D3V]

Here's an idea.


Multi-Player Zelaron games.


As simple as that, there's millions of games i'm sure that would be easy to implement into VB, and if not, atleast mirror the links and have a shoutbox installed so we chould chat real-time or something.

Games like, Battleship, CHESS, Checkers, Scrabble, Boggle, etc. Fun games to burn the time away, i'm sure if it generated enough intrest (as we hope much things would) we could setup real tournaments or something, just to have some fun. I'd enjoy a few rounds of chess against a few of you, it's been forever since i've really played honestly and i'd like a good test.

[D3V]

I mean, here's a forum for it I haven't read much yet but the capabilities seem to be out there.

But I would really like more-so checkers/chess etc. I know there would be some interest if this could somehow be implemented, and then just go from there.

[Chruser]

I'll have a look at your links once I'm using a real computer rather than a cellphone. I've wanted to set up multiplayer games for Zelaron once again (anyone remember Tank Wars?) for quite some time, but none of the available arcade games have been satisfactory. VBArcade has support for multiplayer games, but I haven't gotten any of them to work well yet.

We could always get a SmartFoxServer Pro license and develop our own games in ActionScript...

Do it Chruser daddy, do it!

I dig the idea, for sure.

[Kaneda]

Ah so many middle school memories of tank wars.

[D3V]

Ah chruser, you the man! I remember tank wars back in the day, ROFL. That even would be excellent... hmm let us know if you can find anything that is adaptable.

[HandOfHeaven]

Um, I'd be game.

[D3V]

Any updates? I played tank wars the other day on my brother's Wii.

If I'm not burnt out by the time I finish my Chatbox todo list (http://zelaron.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44875), I plan on using the experience gained working on it to implement some simple two player board games, such as go, checkers, othello, and perhaps chess.

[D3V]

<3 Wetwired, all of the negative shit I have talked/and continue to talk about you will temporairily go out the door if you can implement these new ideas, thanks again for putting fourth the hard work and getting this done I really am appreciative even if I don't let it show.

You're awesome, WW.

I'll keep looking into Tank War-esque games and other 4+ player games. I've been extremely busy with school lately, but things should get a bit better on Friday and forth.

[Asamin]

I am encouraging you to get the tank wars up. That would be awesome. But then I would have to get good at it again.

[D3V]

Same here! .. Anything multiplayer in that arcade-esque sense would be awesome. Keep us posted on any progression :)

[Chruser]

I can't find Tank Wars any longer. Google keeps providing me with various, trivial 3D games. The arcade multiplayer games are giving me trouble, too, as they can't connect to the server. In fact, none of the ibProArcade / vB Arcade multiplayer games seem to be functional in any community I've found.

[D3V]

Damn, it's time to start a new wave of enthusists... I'll see if I can't browse around for some VB forums with games set in place already.

[D3V]

Well it's been a few months, the Chatbox has worked out to be pretty good and that I know of, doesn't have any problems or bugs with it that are too major.

Now, would be a good time to start up a new search for some multiplayer games we could run on these boards, I am still wanting to play somebody in checkers/chess. =)

[jamer123]

hey this is multiplayer acully everyone can be on at one time www.ysflight.com

[Jessifer]

Would Poker or Tonk be too much?

[Wallow]

Would Poker or Tonk be too much?

Let's get some games going. I'd love to play other Zel members at those type of games, especially chess.

[D3V]

Would Poker or Tonk be too much?

I would love to play some poker against some of you guys, i'm actually pretty good at Hold'em.. Blackjack, 5card, etc. I wouldn't mind anything really just being able to play mano e mano or even a few people from here being able to connect and play against each other would be pretty tight.

[Kazilla]

We can all play Dnd!. Do we have a DM in the house? (dont worry, no one will see us LARPing)

[D3V]

(Nope).

[Kazilla]

We can take on roles of other Zelaron members. It could be a lot of fun. Scenarios and what may have you. I'm excited ;) In actuality, I'm starving.

A trip to Arizona to play dnd, yea the flight cost outweighs all the fun =/

logging onto zelaron is free

Yeah lets get some Hold'Em up in here. I love poker.

Still gotta pay for the internet, unless you're logged in wirelessly using someone else's connection.

Umm, airport wifi anyone? Airport wifi ftw~

[D3V]

Well we can still continue to deliberate and throw ideas around, but there is still a huge task at hand and that's being able to get the right languages being able to coinside with the languages of the forums. I'm going to search the next few days anything that might already have an existing plug-in to make something like this work. We'll see.

[jamer123]

i think ww had differnt lagugase in way ealyer and the he took them out because when i looked at zel through archive.org for 2003 it had different laguge select

[Wallow]

Well, nothing's happened...

[Chruser]

I was never successful in setting up mutliplayer games for the Zelaron Arcade (http://www.zelaron.com/forum/arcade.php).

[Kazilla]

Ya know, d2jsp have a game like what we are discussing, they call it Ladder Smasher or something like that. It is terribad, better off buying an MMO or a FPS or a RTS, or anything that we can all connect to and get to work!

[D3V]

Starcraft 2, ftw.

[Kazilla]

That would be a very good ideal, One thing I have noticed about Zelaron is that a lot of the games we play none of us share same server/realm. Starcraft 2 should have a dedicated Zelaron server/realm that way we can all get on and play. (Yea, Diablo we share but, Diablo is so old!!!)

[D3V]

Or of course Diablo 3. Who knows, WoW never really transferred onto these boards very well, despite it's very large populairity.

[Kazilla]

Gaming on Zelaron is D-E-A-D.. Which is really quiet sad. Warhammer which had huge hype, and actually lived up to it (to me and others). Hasn't even sparked an interest. World of Warcraft which has over 7,000,000 users has a population from Zelaron of... 12? We need to get our game back.

Even though this forum is dubbed a "gaming forum," the type of members on it (like me) are just interested in other things more than video games. I, for one, do not own any of the Blizzard games. Guess I've spared myself the addiction, even though I've heard that are great games.

[Kazilla]

That is why gaming here has died, all the old gamers have moved on or past away (not really). Most of the newer members (< 50% I consider new) aren't gamers. Our gaming forums have slacked, and what seems to be 'topic' here is singularity, ai, idiots bitch slapping eachother with purses, and the occasional game that 2-3 members here are interested in.

I went to another forum and posted a question, by the time the forum had redirected me back to my previous page my topic had ended up 1/2 down page 2... Thats what we need to get started here.

Come to the dark side...

[D3V]

WoW is fucking too addictive. I'm glad I haven't played in a couple months, then again, it is the excellent cure if you EVER get bored. I'm waiting for Starcraft 2 to come out, and Diablo 3 as well, as they are both games you can just pick up at any time, play for a little bit, and take off. Whereas WoW you have to keep playing and playing and improving your gear, and playing and playing. Ouch.

[Kazilla]

One reason why I'm still on Diablo II. You can get up and go in 1-2 days. Be completely geared and raping face leftway from right.

[-Spector-]

For some reason WoW got old for me really fast... It just kinda sucked having to get a PuG for quests at levels 65+

[Kazilla]

Pugs for 65+? What were you a night elf mohawk?

[-Spector-]

Since when was a 'Mohawk' a class you could join?

And no, just didn't have any decent guilds to be apart of.

[Jessifer]

Since Mr. T hacked the system and created it, of course.

[Wallow]

So.......what's up with these games?

[D3V]

Nothing. There isn't much out there floating around for free that wouldn't take more than a few minutes of work to put them onto this website.

[jamer123]

we could have like a donwloadable game and that zelaron would be the sever and host it for all the people the game is called flight gear and its free

[Wallow]

Jamer, we're not going to play one of your RC Plane games!

[jamer123]

http://www.flightgear.org/Gallery-v1.0/Source/f4u-final.jpg
not rc it one of the best free flight simulators around and it has really good graphics look at the picture

[WetWired]

Astounding. In the nineties.

[jamer123]

what is

[-Spector-]

I'm sure he was referring to the screen shot of your flight simulator.

[jamer123]

i just got that from the main site i need to clean up my computer before i can run it

[-Spector-]

You're missing the point...

[Wed-G]

You're missing the point...

Flight Gear is pretty bitchin, actually.

Do you know how much the wings of a 757 bow when you pull out of a 36,000 foot nose dive roughly 3,000 feet off the ground?

Far less than capable in the simulator. 15 G's is more than enough to kill.

[Xenn]

So like... when SC2/D3 come out, there should be a little thingy on the front page of Zel you can check that says "I'm playing SC2 or D3" and then like, other people can see that you're playing and will be like "Hey, I should go play with him (them)".

Yeah, that'll work...

[Asamin]

Best idea I have read so far!

[D3V]

Do it Chruser daddy, do it!

I dig the idea, for sure.
