Re: Amiga SWOS Public Beta 2015

Sasy: well guys, nice job. but, i saw that in game, p2p, in this way , i gave a higher ping and frames delay respect the normal p2p game ! some times was unplayble. repeat , i saw that , when play normal p2p , old version, ping and frames delay was not high like this new version. other wrong, somtimes, lobbu list doesnt refresh

I have to say that I m impressed with it.

When using it for this evening s beta version, the matches just fly by very quickly! As soon as I finish playing, I click host to wait and most of the time, it took less than a minute to have someone joining in and starting the game. Of course, once most matches are played then it is just a matter of waiting to play last game or two.

Beside using it for amiga leagues, I can also see that it is very useful for some quick funcups or group stages, not having to wait for ages trying to find someone available in the chatroom/arranging matches using the old swos packs.

Regarding the connection, I can not discern any difference from the old packs and all seems fine.

Just a few pointers:

When you are hosting - do not browse the internet, viewing the results/league tables or downloading etc because a player will join you unexpectedly and the game is starting automatically (if you leave click here when ready on by default). So if you are browsing the internet, it may affect p2p ping time calculation when the player joined in and game started automatically.

No need to talk - you can just host but also keep refreshing list just in case to see if anyone else you want to play, could be hosting instead. However, it was non-issue today.

Arrange private game function - although I haven t used it but leaving it ticked, would not update the list so you would have to untick/tick it again, to refresh the list of players. But then, the functions worked great above, not sure what is private game function is for.

Overall, great job!

Second program feedback should be here ;D:

+everythings work well
+even with bad ping it was smoother than aswos or plaswos
+for funcups really cool cause u can just open a game and wait
+fullscreen integrated
+left=right control integrated
+u dont have to restart whole program after finish a game

-NO CHAT IN GAME (i have to scream xD)
-sound funny (but not necessary, i searching as fast as possible to click sound off, atleast turn down the music a bit)
-other fullscreen mode prefer (720x576 see below)
-if u host a game would be nice if u see yourself in list (good feedback for your eyes)
-everything what can be automated should be automated from start (savedisk and left=right control)


nice to have:
- that u can allow specific user to join or not to join, so u dont have to scare someone comes in your hosted game



I dont like the diffrent borders on left and right side on 800x600 and was testing with Randapek and he has also 720x576 resolution, but because of the bigger players. So these are 2 reason for 720x576 resolution.
My plaswos resolution options:

gfx_framerate=1
gfx_width=720
gfx_height=576
gfx_refreshrate=0
gfx_vsync=false
gfx_lores=false
gfx_linemode=double
gfx_correct_aspect=false
gfx_fullscreen_amiga=true
gfx_fullscreen_picasso=false
gfx_center_horizontal=none
gfx_center_vertical=none
gfx_colour_mode=16bit
gfx_opengl=false
gfx_opengl_vert_zoom=0
gfx_opengl_horiz_zoom=0
gfx_opengl_vert_offset=0
gfx_opengl_horiz_offset=0
gfx_opengl_scanlines=0
gfx_opengl_scanlinelevel=0
gfx_opengl_scanlineratio=17
gfx_opengl_bits=16bit
gfx_opengl_mode=linear

- Refreshing lobby should work automatic, every few seconds or even in real-time.

I suppose, providing that it doesn t affect the connection for gameplay.

Am I the only one who experienced the sound problem?

In lobby music is very loud but in game I have to turn the volume to the maximum to hear very low sound.

Imagine situation when i restart the game with max voulume and music from lobby! XD

Does anyone have idea what is happening?
