Alternative to Hamachi: Opensource and no network limits!

[owner20071963]

Testing looks positive,
Hosting is visible from Vista 64 so far
any breakthrough as to why that 4th computer could not see
the Host?
We'll continue over the weekend,
its looking good

This version uses no installer/setup!

Howto install:

1 - Make sure you have a TAP adapter installed, or install the tapadapter with addtap.bat in the /drivers/ folder. ( Vista users must have admin rights to install this hardware )
2 - start hellskitchen.exe

Trojan detected :\ i'm using avast.

There is no virus in the tool.
Your AntiVirus program is reporting a false positive.

More info about the 'infected' tool : http://www.r1ch.net/stuff/forcebindip/
And some info from the creator of that tool, who responds on the 'infection'
http://www.r1ch.net/forum/index.php?topic=1758.msg9877

Additional third party technical info :

http://research.sunbelt-software.com...474776a04ecea5



The ForceBindIP tool that is bundled in the RAR file is a process hook.
these tools are many times reported as virusses.
you can safely delete the file, as its not affecting the core functionality.

in the future i will distribute only the lan-tool, and have certain 'plugin tools' available for seperate download.

Owner's advice is solid but don't take it as law. Anyone that wants to test Pieter's work on this multiplayer LAN client is more than welcome to, provided you keep in mind that this software is still an early work in progress.

There are still many bugs and flaws to be corrected but nothing that appears to cause any permanent harm. The worst report we've had so far with this round of testing is a loss of internet connection due to improper installation of the TAPI VPN adapter.

Results are encouraging. Once this utility is completed, it will mean having a gaming client similar to Hamachi, GameRanger, or XFire but with two critical differences. It will be completely free to use and accommodate about 250 players on the same server. Your eyes aren't playing tricks. No more paying for having more than eight players per game!

If you would like to take part in the testing, I encourage you to join the testing program we have initiated at ComSubsPac so you can provide real-time feedback and receive support from the developer. Otherwise, keep detailed, step-by-step diary of your experiences with testing the software. Be sure to follow Pieter's instructions for installation and usage to the letter!

Post your testing diary entries here for Pieter to review. Every bit of information helps!

FYI

I found that the network problems are related to DHCP specifically.

tests show that with static ip & routing off, all works stable as it can be.
i would like to test this with ~8 people to make sure the stability is 100%.

[owner20071963]

Give us a time and date pieter
We will arrange 8 plus to Test

[touche36]

I don't mind testing this, let us know a time.

I would recommend unbinding 'File and Printer Sharing' from this network as a security precaution.

[owner20071963]

We will reply soon

[owner20071963]

I'm sure Testing will continue,
As soon as Pieter is back,
Some personal issues may have arrived,
as We know him being the Gentleman He is,
We wish him Well,
come back soon

As with All Future Games,
The Silent Hunter 5 Dev Team will see,
Multiplay Is The Future,
In Gaming Online,
Success Depends on Sales,
Without Development On Multiplay in Silent Hunter 5?
The Dev Team may lose their jobs,,,,
Hamachi Sucks,very true,
On Lan,
Ubisoft's Server Cost money,
what was done with SH2,

Without Your Support?
Online Gaming with Ubisoft for The Silent Hunter Series
