Please Port The New Version Of Netpanzer!

Hi Everyone!

I was wondering if someone could port the new version of Netpanzer. The one we have have is old and the servers are running the new one and you cannot play with the version we have.

I would be willing to donate for someone's time to port it! I love this game!

Personally I'd take a Makefile over money.

I'll have a look at it. Hadn't heard of it before.

Edit: Looks like it uses PhysFS. That could be problematic.
Edit2: I think I'll have to defer this to someone else. It's looking a bit too complicated for me.
Edit3: The source-code for the one on OS4Depot has given me some hints. I'll look tomorrow.

@MickJT

If old version of PhysFS will give you a problems, i have a last ones done by some aros developer (BZili), who share fixed sources for me and i have os4 build already (not released still as didn't tested heavy, but have no problems to give it for you if need it).

@kas1e

Please send it over in an e-mail. I'm sure you can find my e-mail address somewhere (I don't have it visible in OS4Depot uploads, but it's 'findable'). Thanks in advance.

@MickJT
Done, check mail

Thanks.

It looks like it *would* work if I knew how to fix the internet related code. It's designed to expect a system with IPv6 support.

ffmpeg comes with some fakery in libavformat/libavutil that I tried using. It crashes though on ff_getaddrinfo.

I'll stick the source up somewhere tomorrow and perhaps someone else can figure it out. Please say in this thread if you're interested, because i'll send the link privately.

I tried several times to get somebody to port it but nobody is interested. Its a bit sad because its a good game. Would be fun to show people this game on amigaos4.

@Joeled

Have you tried porting it yourself, or you're not familiar with porting things?

I have a makefile and it can build it, but it crashes before getting to the menu. It's to do with the socket code. I don't know what to do to fix it.

If the IPv6 code can be re-written for IPv4, it should work fine.

You can download it here:

Keep it mind that is compiled with svn sources and so it needs server with "development" status..
it is untested.. (i've just connected to a server and i've moved a tank..)

enjoy

@mickjt
Sorry i m to retarded to be able to port something.

@afxgroup
Thank you very much! Been waiting for somebody to have the skills and time to port a newer version.

I tried several ip-servers but nobody worked. Is it possible to get a list of all active servers? Otherwise we have to search for active servers all the time. Maybe somebody can add a amigaserver?

You shuld change "i'm really tired...!" to "i'm really great..."

Edit: I saw you wrote something about development status. Have to check that out.

@afxgroup
Thanks!

Andrea for President !

@andrea
Do you have a working ip? I tried the development ones but i get mod not found or map wild hunt not found.

i've tried 109.9.22.106:3050 and it works

Hmm i just get map of the valley not found.

Thanks Andrea, now you should only release a new version of GemRB (it was more or less done right ?)

And maybe also the long standing port of Homeworld
