Hello all! I have great news, demo release of Christian MMOG VoHW is now out!

Ok, it's just a demo and I can keep the server up only some time because I don't have dedicated server. So I'll host it on my comp for now about 9 hours from this post and again later if any one is interested to test the game.
(The game currently has only two small quests where you have to speak to the NPCs.)

Here is the instructions:
First download the windows installer and install.
Then launch the game and give it some time as it will download rest of the game files.
Then when it finally shows the main screen press the login button and use these values to login:
username: "test"
password: "test"
server IP: 85.76.150.44

You have to press the "advanced" button in order to type the server IP in (sorry about that I wish I had dedicated server)

Ok I hope it works for you all, please tell if you have any problems.

Sweet!

So very good to see progress on VoHW, Jari!

Downloading now, looking forward to trying it out. I'm behind a proxy, so I may not be able to connect, but I'll try!

--clint

Edit:
Okay, I tried it, and it didn't get past the Black Box Of Loading (it didn't display anything).

Here is my Console.log:

I hope that helps! Let me know if you want me to try anything else. I've got a developer's license of Torque too if you want to send me some source to compile and run to test stuff out.

Cheers! I'm looking forward to playing it!

Hi Clint! Thanks for trying it out, it's hard to say right now what could be wrong, the log file looks actually normal.
Maybe it's the proxy like you said, the game uses HTTP to download files from the server.
Well I'll have to make some tests and just try and figure it out.

Thanks for offering to help btw, I don't have version control at the moment for the source but once I do I'll get back to you about it, if this hasn't been solved by then.

Well I haven't found the problem, maybe it's the proxy because it's working fine in my comp.

Did any one else try the game?

I'm going to shutdown the server for now and put it back up later. But if some one want's to test it right now, please tell.

Btw, Clint I made some changes which should give some info about the problem. The changes are in the installer.

Okay, I just tested it from a connection not behind a proxy, and it downloads fine.

I need to go, so I don't think I'll be able to finish trying this, but I look forward to trying it out soon!

That's cool to hear! Thanks, I hope you had time to test it because I'll have to shutdown the server for now.

Sure do kiwee! Thanks for asking.
We need help in all areas, modeling, coding, scripting, quest writing etc.

So you model right?
You can send me email if you want.

(Edit. removed email)

Ok, well the server isn't running right now but please let me know and I'll put it up.
Good thing about the engine we are using is that it can be compiled on mac too - if some one just happens to have TGE license and mac, and is willing to help.

I have put the server back online for 12 hours if any one wants to test it.

Here is the main discussion going on right now.

Hey Jari,

What are the specs for a server? I've got an almost static IP (hasn't changed in 6+ months) and have an extra windows box laying around. I can give you full VNC access to it for manipulation and open whatever ports you need open in my firewall. I know I kinda dropped the ball on the CVS thing, but I think it was over my head to begin with. I can supply you a box and access to it through my high-speed internet connection if you'd like to stress test VoHW in a 24/7 setting supposing your server-side software can run on windows 98/2k/XP, just let me know and I'll install the OS.

Let me know.

I would like to but the game development is in a state right now which makes it tricky. Thanks for your interest though, I will work on it but it takes time and hopefully we will soon have server running 24/7!

In Christ,
Jari.

Hey MastaLlama!
What an great offer you made. First I have to say that I'm unaware of the bandwidth usage but it should run on a PC with 500mhz processor and 128 RAM.
I'll send you a email so we can talk about the details. And don't worry about the CVS, I still havent found a service provider though, as it seems to be over every one else's head as well.

In Christ,
Jari.
