[Edit2:] For those of you with dll problems or errors use this to aid you. These will also make it work on windows 98 and 2000. That is all.[/Edit2]
[Edit:] I made a mistake in the config file. So, now it's updated again and will actually work now. Sorry for those of you who had this problem. The links are the same.[/Edit]
Wow, I'm able to keep a promise, hooray! Ok, so here is the deal, because of my sad computer situation I am not currently able to play. But, all of you should be able to, so you can tell me what works, what doesn't work, and so forth. I've updated online.rar so that it goes to the correct location. If you don't want to redownload the whole thing and just update your config files then do that. Just so your warned, here are some potential bugs that you may encounter in your journeys; you may create a username and it tell you you don't have priveledges to log in (solution: tell me and I'll fix it), you may see that someone's name isn't shown correctly and instead comes up as "Entity###" (solution: tell me, send me the log, and I try to fix it), or you might get bored because no one is online (solution: get me to a computer that can play the demo and I'll entertain you). There's bound to be lots of more errors and bugs with the server/client system so your help testing things out is much appreciated. Fixing things will be a little slow because motherboard issues have limited me down to 256 mb of ram, so compiling new builds to fix bugs is very hard to do. Not to worry though, I'm working on it.

Well, it's progress, at least. I got connected. It says the following for the server: 216.20.11.6 Online 99999 players.
However, when I try to click the connect button, it gives me an error. Says the launcher has been integrated into the game, and this is the last time I'll use it. Then it says it'll take me to the new login area. I click ok, and get the error: Can't launch game, error 17.

Um... about that...I feel really stupid...In the config file it's trying to open the wrong thing. I'll reupdate the config file straightaway. And I'll update the main page once it's uploaded.

Yay! It works! I'm online!
Hmmm... we should set a time sometime this weekend when a bunch of us can be on...
Also, the snowballs aren't showing up. I get a message where it says it's sending them to to the network (can't read the whole message, as it's rather long) but they never show up.
Good times... can't wait until someone else is actually on.

hmm...no snowballs...I'm not sure if that's server side or client side where the error is coming from. I'll look at it soon.

If you can't figure it out, I can always tweak the config file to display the font smaller, and get you the whole message.

The message simply says that the snowballs are being sent to the server. According to the server logs it has recieved every one of them. There is a problem with it updating the clients somehow.
