Reply to Games ending too soon in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

[quote]What the hell do ragequits and balanced teams have to do with dedicated servers? Your argument is made of fail.[/quote]Ironrock is trying to advertise his thread in far too many threads, in a troll-like fashion. @topic: every time I think or say in game "we will lose this" (or something to that effect), we win in the end. It's starting to get ridiculous :D. There is no outside "fix" for this issue.

[quote]At the moment the only thing Impulse does better than steam is that you can actually choose where to install the software.[/quote]This can also be seen as an advantage of Steam. It's a matter of taste, probably. Impulse creates files all over the place. There is an archive file location, a temporary files location, a software applications location and a games applications location. With Steam everything is in one place and you always only have to save/copy your Steam folder, if

Reply to Idea on how to improve the stats overlay in Demigod Demigod Forums

I disagree too. Without the stats, we have no way of balancing teams and therefore every game is like a russian roulette for everyone. Actually that's not true, without the stats we would just use pantheon.demigodthegame.com again, which will give you the same information, just in a more inconvenient way.

Reply to [MOD][UI] Always visible health and mana text in Demigod Modding Demigod Forums

[quote who="ktachuck" reply="10" id="2467355"]Maybe I'm dumb or something but I put the folder out of the zip file into the mods folder. I have other mods that work when I enable them but when I enable this one I don't see the hps or mana over people all the time. Is there an activation key or something? I cycled through with ~ but still didn't work. Most likely I've done something wrong. Thanks[/quote]You misunderstood the mod ;). This mod shows your mana and health permanently. Wit

Reply to Strangest game ever due to lag in Demigod Connectivity Help Demigod Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Well I get in to a lobby and the pings were bareable (150 or so) but when I get in the game, right away I notice I can't use my WADS keys to move the camera. My movement was also crazily choppy very unresponsive. As I move in to my lane, I'm unable to use any skills with the 1-4 keys. Later when I'm pushing a tower, I can't stop attacking it. This caused me to get killed and no matter what I did I couldn't stop. I have no idea why these things could happen, can an

Reply to PING in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote]The difference being, in a client/server, it only affects the player with the bad connection, in p2p it affects everyone. Bit of a drama when you have 10 players and you are getting punished with lag cos of someone else's crap connection.[/quote]No, that has nothing to do with the network model. This is an issue of data synchronisation and thus happens in RTS games that use client-server as well as in games that use peer-to-peer. [quote]"But it is decreasing the

Jesus, I don't know how I could explain it any better to you, but I'll try once again :( ... [quote]It is the lazy devs answer if the synchronized simulation is creating a huge problem in itself... lag.[/quote]The synchronized simulation is causing "lag" as in "stutter" or "halt" if a datapacket between on of the players is delayed for too long. The same thing would happen in a server-client setup. [quote]Nope, you are the one missing the point. I'm not saying

It's not a lazy dev's answer... such a system is quite complex.

[quote]Nope, I'm saying we were told the justification for Demigod using peer to peer was because there was less latency[/quote]The peer to peer system is used for two main reasons: The Moho Engine runs a synchronized simulation. Meaning every client calculates everything and the calculation results are compared with each player directly. This makes cheating without exploiting bugs in the system virtually impossible. If someone tries to force a cheat on to the system, results w

You were wondering about the default net_lag of Demigod and made it sound like this is something out of the ordinary and I just wanted to clarify that.
