Insane Difficulty: PPSSPP might be capable of online play - Insane Difficulty

Ladies and gentlemen of the FFT-loving community, it is my pleasure to announce that the latest admin build of PPSSPP is capable (through some work) of playing FFT-WOTL over virtual Adhoc servers. I don't know the process myself, but Mari and I will be attempting to test it soon and I'll let you know how it goes.

This means that work can begin on adjusting the PvP and Coop rendezvous for future updates of this and other versions of WOTL. Obviously as of right now, I figure most of us haven't even seen that part of the game because you can't access it without another PSP user in your immediate area, so there;s no telling what could be going on out there, but I'm excited about the possibilities!

If anyone with more knowledge of how to get this kind of thing up and running wants to try it out (I just do what I'm told), you can find a little bit of info (including a link to the admin version of PPSSPP) on the last page of this thread on the PPSSPP forums: http://forums.ppsspp...id=1141&page=32

I'm very excited about this, as we all are. I do have a question about ToF though.

Is kyozo attempting to include multiplayer content on ToF? He might want to use the multiplayer space to add more items that would help balance the single player story. If multiplayer content and balance is not within his plans, then this thread should be moved to the General Discussion / Development Discussion forums, for obvious reasons.

I posted here because it's specific to WOTL, but a cross post linking back to here can't hurt I suppose. I just sppoke with Kyozo, who is having computer problems, and I am sure that once things get going again, some thought will obviously be put into multtiplayer. This is really new so I'm sure nothing has been done yet.

However, I've been toying around with it all again. I would like to polish the turd I left behind and will definitely be keeping an eye on multiplayer after getting a chance to see what it's all about. Whatever we learn from tht experience could maybe to added to his version in the future, or at least we'd know what pitfalls to avoid.

Not got many plans for multiplayer stuff as of yet, but will probably look into it after I've gotten my current stuff polished and beta tested. However, this FAQ lists all the Rendezvous (co-op) missions in the game, should anybody be interested in looking into this stuff (ESPECIALLY strategising against some of those Clear Game Missions. Dayuuum!

Note that this FAQ was written before the EU/ US versions of the game were released, so names and terms used were loosely translated from the original Japanese text.

Confirmed!

It's actually not too terribly hard to set up. All you need is Hamachi to fake the LAN, pop in the IP and play. I tried to take a screenshot but I messed it up. If I can convince Mari to try again or get any volunteers, I will get a SS out next time. I'm in chapter 1 and I got a blood sword for my victory! But then my sister's cat ran on the keyboard and crashed the game before I could save.

Yay, go cat! Serves you right, you fucking cheater.

Nah, really, that's awesome that it works, but yeah... the random nature of the rewards is a problem.
I think it may be partially level based, which is... something.

To clarify on the post I made above, I was always gonna bank on netplay being available and used by those who wished to, but given that I used most/ all of the multiplayer item effect 'slots' for the zodiac equipment I'm gonna have to think a bit more.

Oh that's some tasty bit of information!

Cant wait to try out that alguls brawl with the new changes, no matter how broken it may get.

Kyozo and I are working on recording some coop

yeah. we'll hopefully get something up... 'soon'-ish.

Yes, I'm working on it this is why I handed it off, it's hard for me to find time to do stuff. Basically, the stars need to align. I need to have nothing else going on, including basically any human to converse with, not be too tired to concentrate on what is ultimately an incredibly complicated version of chess, and, of course, need to not be consumed by robocraft.

I do still want to get this up and going just to record some samples. I did get the recording software set up. I tested it on a new game, intro and first battle but my internet connection couldn't handle the upload. I should probably drop the quality down or at least convert it to mp4 because 20 minutes at 1600x900 was something like 3 and a half gigs.

Kyozo, best way to get me up and running is to shoot me a pm. It'll send me an email notification. If I can get on, I will. Its gonna be hit or miss. I just started a full time Monday through Friday job that cuts out week days and late nights. Weekends, I'm almost always out, especially right now in a prolonged moving situation.

You're not supposed to upload raw video to Youtube; that's insanity. You gotta encode it first, which cuts the file size down to anywhere from like 20 megs to about 150 megs, pending video length and quality.

I giggled at the thought of someone wanting to watch FFT at 1600x900.

...And then I thought of a remake of FFT with custom animations. I didn't giggle anymore .

Well, that was my point that I was dumb I had it recording full screen and trying to upload huge raw files. I'm new to this crap

I know, I wasn't trying to mock you or anything. I literally had that train of thought rofl.
