I think i know why SimplePlanes hasn't introduce Multiplayer yet. Simple, Part count. average simple fighter builds has at least 56 - 100 parts to make it look good. 30 lowest.
And now we see people who has planes with 200 parts wants to show it off to their buds in multiplayer. If one person has a plane with 200 parts, and 10 others with 150+ parts come join, it would mean 1700 individual parts would be inside the server not including the ships and convoys and the giant desert biome.
So I really think we should either give the devs some time to manage part count to not make the computer lag, or accept it if simple planes cannot handle multiplayer.
What are your thoughts?
Maybe if they added something like a part count restriction and limited space....
@ChaMikey It's on mac, I'll help you find the directory when o get home later
@Flightsonic yeeeeeees xD still can't comprehend why there aren't any mods folder in my laptop :l probs because its mac :c cries internally
MWWHAHAHA! Tis a thing now!
i know lol, i decided not to cus its a Mac and that OS X is better off for it. I'm getting a better laptop (not another mac thankfully) sooner or later so I'm gonna be able to use it and ditch this crap away lol @VladCelTroll
@Sauce K Thanks! Good luck to them and hope it gets finished!
@Booster456
@HellFireKoder
and
@UnstableOrbit
@ChaMikey @Sauce Who is making the MP Mod?
ARRG! NO! OVER 9000 DOWNVOTES!
i know :p @Sauce i hope they have fun when its released! because i know i won't be able to use the mod for atleast 7 months :p cries
@ChaMikey there are not many people involved in testing
lol, seeing how I'm playing on OS X i don't think its necessary xD #ApplePeasentRace @Sauce i do hope people have fun playing MP though!
@ChaMikey i mean if there is a chance i can try to host a server myself to see how it works
also i cant give you direct spoiler about release date
but it's gonna come faster than you think XD
yeah sadly, theres a lot of reason for the devs not doing it @BaconEggs
i know right? @JacobHardy64 and yeah thats the main factor for this game not having an MP, would be really cool if they ever make simple planes 2 to have MP
it does?? never thought of that! @ElGatoVolador
ah i see, i thought the part count would matter. I'm interested in this subject and really want to learn more about it. @Sauce and i do hope the MP mod development is doing well :)
No moving parts = No lag
This could be a factor. Some people have nicer computers and can handle 4 avengers helicarriers flying around, and some can't even run 200 parts. The biggest factor is that the game simply isn't meant to run multiplayer.
The developers aren't making it..
@ChaMikey i can't "leak" anything about the mod aside my experience if you want a more detailed and accurate answers on how the mod operates you should ask the creators {HellFireKoder,UnstableOrbit}
@ChaMikey what does a crappy laptop has to do with the server or the MP mod?? nothing the server can take a 1600-3000 part plane blowing up(quoted by UO)
if one's laptop can't run 200 part plane
that doesnt have anything with the Server or the Mod
it's kinda like the game itself
as soon as you dont have too much moving parts on your plane it won't lag(rotators,pistons) it won't lag
People with good Devices would definitely be able to run high amount of parts, those who play in potato qualified laptop and phones will have the luck as I do. And you tested the Multiplayer mod?? marvelous! may I ask how soon would it be released? and how it performs for average devices when atleast 3 detailed planes are near each other? @Sauce I am genuinely interested.
also the MP will not be implemented in game in form of an update, BUT
it's gonna arrive soon in a form of a MOD
