@Siegfried: I like the idea of an announcement page in the lobby. I now have the master server working and it's keeping track of running dedicated servers which report their status to it. I just need to make it display the list of servers in the joining screen and it'll be done. I also plan to rework the joining page, integrate WAN and LAN play into one screen that shows a list of servers and detailed information about the servers. We can put the announcement message (loaded from the master server) up the top and it can say things like "Join us every Sunday at 9pm CET for a game!" and "New patch coming out next week".
For now lets try to arrange it through the forums. Everyone join the server
www.avatune.nl at
9pm CET each Sunday, and PLEASE post back here to let me know how it goes. You can put the Remake in windowed mode and leave it running in the background until other people join. The only problem is that 9pm CET is 5am for me, so I don't think I'll be able to join you

But please let me know how it goes.
@xzaz: I will be adding more control to the dedicated server eventually. I plan for it to use an INI file in the next demo but a web interface or something would be best, although a low priority for now.
What do you mean by a banner? Xfire doesn't seem necessary yet, maybe when when the game is a bit more stable etc. What advantages were you thinking it would give us?
I have saved your bug report but not looked into it yet, thanks for reporting it. It is the first r2087 bug report I have received! So either this demo is very stable or no one is playing/reporting bugs...
i have tried the LAN with my friend and over 2h of playing we found out that the Computer we had added didn't do anything..
The computer does only this: Feeds own soldiers, Train new units if they are killed
Yes unfortunately the AI is not fully written yet, it lacks auto build to place buildings, intelligent military, dynamic attacks, etc. We don't know much about AI programming so we've left it for now. If anyone can help us out let me know.
I'd also like to ask for someone's help on another matter: We would like a person to create videos of the Remake for us and put them on Youtube in HD with a link to our project. We haven't decided on all of the details yet, but we can suggest to you what we would like in the videos. Just one every patch to show off the new features, and one long one to start with that shows off what we currently have, so it shouldn't be a lot of work unless you want to do extra. If you think you can help out please contact me:
lewinjh@gmail.com. We'd like to do this in an organised and "semi-professional" manner, so if you want to help please email me before you start recording so we can discuss it further. Send me an ICQ number/Skype username/Google chat address/etc if possible. If you're happy to talk over the microphone for the video (tell users what new features we have, what you are currently showing them, etc.) that's a bonus, but it's more work and by no means essential. (we could use captions if necessary)
I hope I haven't put people off by making the criteria sound too strict. If you think you can help us please contact me. I think videos like these will help promote the project and build up a community. Right now it's hard to see what our Remake contains without downloading it and playing for yourself.
Lewin.
