Hi

http://hyperfighter.sk/index.php

Please remember the Hyperlobby is a free software release for over 10 years that relies on voluntary donations to keep it running,
so put your hands in your pockets/under the bed/coffee pot/ find a few £ $ Eu's where possible and help out if you can please,
it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks on behalf of the HL team.

:)

Sorry but you are not authorized to view or download this Attachment

Could someone attach the file here?

Could anyone advise how to make Repka servers show in Hyperlobby?

[KG26_Alpha]

Could you attach the file here?

Please register at Hyperlobby forums for download of beta software and feedback information.

This ensures Jiri gets any feedback related to the beta quickly.

This version of HL like latest one support automated server session startup via -a commandline parameter, so there is not problem automate dedicated server registration via HyperLobby ...

Setup your dedicated server by standart way via HL (difficulty, description etc) and run it. Then exit and next time if you run HL with the "-a" commandline parameter it will do all this job for you ... The complete guide is work in progress and will be published soon.

The only line addressed at admins there is
This version of HL like latest one support automated server session startup via -a commandline parameter, so there is not problem automate dedicated server registration via HyperLobby ...

...but it does not explain how to do it and I can not see an admin's section or readme or FAQ at the main page of the site.

[KG26_Alpha]

Its still beta with a more detailed read me in progress

Please use the Hyperlobby forum to avoid confusion here and for a faster response.

At the moment CoD clients can join HL Dedicated server to test the HL function.

Users can host missions with the usual familiar room slots and create the server via the CoD gui under multiplayer> server> coop (not channel map) or> dogfight.

Port 27016 need to be open for hosts.

thanks

[Ze-Jamz]

Alpha..should it take 30 mins to send an Email?

[Madfish]

Alpha..should it take 30 mins to send an Email?

Yes. Normal for HL. Happened to all / most of us. At least it did to me for sure. :-P

[Ze-Jamz]

Lol i thought i registered years ago with HL... tried Email but nothing so had to register..oh well

[Ataros]

I think there must be at least a manual or readme or FAQ for original Il-2 on how to "automate dedicated server registration via HyperLobby" somewhere.

If anyone finds it by chance please let me know. I will pass this info to Repka admin.

[Madfish]

Hey ataros - I did a search and found a few things:
Here is cummulated changelog since lates 4.2.7 release:

Whats new:

HL now can autostart game in to server mode via commandline option -a. First time you need setup game server options by classic way, then close HL and start it with -a parameter. HL connect to the HL server, register game session and autostart the game in to server mode. When the game exit , HL close itself. This feature is for example usefull to automatically run IL2 dedicated server within HL. This mode is compatible also with instancing. from http://hyperfighter.sk/modules.php?name=News&new_topic=2

If you start a dedicated server from Hyperlobby does it also show in the in game browser client list?

If so and Steam disconnects the servers like it has done in the past does the server also get disconnected from Hyperlobby?

[trumps]

great news, thanks for your hard work guys. today is a big day in CloDs short life!

Is this a seperate Install to previous versions of HL ... i.e. you can run this Beta and the current version ?

[Troll2k]

I get the dreaded Time Out.


Update:

I was able to join a game(not dedicated server) Phist hosted.
I was unable to join(time out) a game Jaws hosted.

Guys, what game path do I put in for this to work. It didn't recognise the IL2 Cliffs of Dover path.

Thanks in advance

[furbs]

I just let it search for it. make sure you clicked on the COD button, because otherwise its looking for the WW2 fighters exe.
Jamz, you checked junk mail?

Thanks furbs,
Just one thing... COD button? It did find the WW2 fighters exe.

And yes, I found my email in the junk section, so Jamz, I reckon it's there for sure.

..... EDIT
Found it Furbs. I went into the test lobby and it works great. The only thing is that I've lost all my settings for my stick, throttle, pedals ect. About to go in COD from outside HL to see if they've gone in there also.

Thanks again.

[Ze-Jamz]

Thanks lads, il check it once I'm home

When HL starts, let it search. if it finds nothing. click cancel then click player lists, then select CLOD and let it search again.

[JG52Uther]

Didn't even have to search for me, just installed, clicked on the Cliffs of Dover room and away it went!

[Troll2k]

I did not have to tell the Clod room anything.It loaded straight away.

A lot of times the problem of not finding the exe is because the user does not have the correct room selected first.

If I try and go to the Clod room on one of my machines that does not have Clod or steam I get a message that Steam needs to be loaded and online but it lets me in the room anyway.I can chat,I just can not fly.

[KG26_Alpha]

Initial testing looks good.

Many pilots popping in for a quick test and fly around :)

Asked this in the ATAG thread but probably better to ask in this one.

Used HL last night and no problems to report but what is the advantage using HL compared to using CoD MP Cient option?

You can make a friend-list and see immediatly who of them is online and on which server, you can write PMs in HL, chat, make an ignore-list etc and it is just familar surroundings.

Most of the online wars are hosted there (IL2 1946) that use the SEOW format and other online stats parsers.

Also a multitude of CooP missions and the usual DF servers.

The flight combat sim community has been using Hyperlobby for over 10 years now,
its been a place to help new pilots quickly get started and sort problems they may have with their sim/game,
the community has years of experience behind them and will usually help where they can.

Also a place to come and chat generally about stuff.

:grin:

[335th_GRAthos]

...And because all hard core flight simulation fans have been organised in virtual squadrons and HyperLobby has been the traditional place where squadrons meet to fight against each other (dogfight or organised war campaigns).

During the IL2 days there could be 900 (nine hundred) flight simmers online at Hyperlobby.
And since the majority of CoD flyers stem from IL2 background, Hyperlobby is the place to be ;)


- S -

[Troll2k]

Hyperlobby makes it easy to get info on co-ops and to set them up.

Also the general chat makes getting help easier.Also organizing games to host and getting feedback on what settings people prefer.

Setting up times for squad nights or getting some mercenaries to go into an online war.

It is easier to see game settings and who is in the game.

It is also easier to jump to a different game room if desired.Clod to 1946 or to original Sturmovik.It is also easier to see who is in the other rooms.

As much as i love Hyperlobby.. I find this pointless if you still need Steam running in the background.. Its a shame they decided to go with Steam for multiplayer with this game..

[borchi]

Nice...

[BH_woodstock]

@Cheesehawk

i was just in ATAG server threw hyperlobby and there were many other pilots in there that did not join threw hyperlobby. so it is NOT forcing anyone to use it in anyway.(just wanted you to know that)
the lobby is a great place to meet and talk and recruit.I know 1st hand that one of the great advantages of using hyperlobby is getting tech help with the game.you cannot really help anyone while they are in a server flying unless you are on comms.
Hyperlobby is very easy to use and much easier to keep track and know what servers your friends are in than using just steam.It has proven to be the place to be for flight sims.Also when recruiting it helps because speaking for myself i would not go into another squads server to recruit anyone. but you can in the lobby. Steam really does not have a lobby.
Hyperlobby has been a gathering place for hardcore flight simmers for 10 yrs and with the devotion that this community has to given to flight sims it is the place to be.
Try it You'll like it:)

[ElAurens]

+1 to what BH_woodstock said.

[Ze-Jamz]

Ok, I'm having problems joining ATAG server since they added the Hyperlobby to the mix. If I try to join through Steam, I connect and lock up. Have to use taskmanager to force shut down, and upon restart, it still shows me connected to the server, so I can't even attempt to rejoin.

Is HL going to force people to use it if the server is? That seems kind of heavy-handed...

Ok, firstly NO as you can direct connect, Secondly Ive not experienced anyone else having these problems and I certainly have not..I also don't see how they can be related m8

Have you done the usual...checking files etc..

Also maybe save your config's and reinstall?

HL Is a great lobby and will be much wanted and needed Im sure by the community to get CoD where Il2 was...

IL2 would of never been as big as it was if it wasn't for HL Im pretty certain of that, try the above m8 im sure its something simple

[BH_woodstock]

make sure you uncheck steam cloud:)

[Richie]

Works fine for me and just like always I was able to help someone in chat with his full mission builder with this link because I had the internet right there. After he looked at the link we talked more and he figured he had a much clearer grasp of things by the time we were finished. That was just with 4 people on. When there's 100 you can usually find out anything.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ5khS7cKFQ&feature=player_embedded#!


The only problem is no one has caught on yet I guess because no one is using it to fly in the missions available.

[Plt Off JRB Meaker]

make sure you uncheck steam cloud:)

Ahh,could this be why I get lost connections/time outs with host when playing online?.......I still have mine checked,but will uncheck now.

[BH_woodstock]

ok guys.lets see some servers and some pilots in hyperlobby:grin:
we need more servers and people to make all this work worthwhile.
everything is running smooth with no problems at all:)

[O_Smiladon]

Good day All & S!

I have installed HL on my PC back in the IL2 days, and have it sitting there doing nothing for quit some time now.

Then I saw this thread with COD being tested with HL so I went and updated it for COD and it worked fine for me which is great for COD.

Before I updated COD to host for my squad mates I would go into lobby and so forth and get to the screen were you chooses a map you want to play on.

So I have now uninstalled HL (for no reason of the program, personal choice) and now when I go back to the lobby to host a mission it still shows open mission1, hyper lobby by smiladon. Then click ok and when it goes to the choose a map screen (sometimes it does not even that far just hangs) nothing is there to choose from.

I have done the steam thing were it goes through and takes the patch of to the last update, put the latest beta patch back on gone back into lobby to host a game and open mission 1 is STILL there! Very frustrating wishing I had never installed HL now it has stuffed up my ability to host a mission, and of cause my squad mate do not want to install HL now for that reason.

Has HL done something to my game?? Please guys any suggestion.

Regards
O_Smiladon

[BH_woodstock]

i will post this link in Hl forums and find out what is going on.maybe Alpha or Jiri can give an explanation. I dont think it has done anything to your game. I think the game just remembers what u last hosted. not for sure. can you try backspace and then add your new info for game host info?I noticed that when i host it says whatever i hosted last. for example open mission 1 just like you but i always host from lobby anyways so it doesnt make a difference to me.But i will try and help to find a solution to your question.Remember that CoD lobby in HL is still Beta and if there is a problem please post it so Jiri will know and take care of any problems that anyone here is having.

Keep everything real but enable externals views!
For me and I'm sure others for the most part people fly with externals in 1946 that have the biggest followings … well it was that way.
Want to see Hyper Lobby gain traction this is one step closer on the moon.

Crap - like only one server in there right now! What’s goin on!

But excited with new patch update that is on its way weeeee.

[SNAFU]

Yesterday I noticed that my ATI 6950 was running the first time with the nominal 810MHz speed. I connected directly via HL.

Before, using the regular way, even though I deleted the UBI Flash Intro, my GPU was always running on 250MHz.

Other squadmembers observed similar improved performance while connecting via HL. ;)

[JG52Krupi]

Did you delete the ubi logo? It messes up ate cards but connecting through hyper lobby disables it

[SNAFU]

Yes, sure, as written above. ;) Was always the first thing I did, after installation. But that did interest my ATI at all, but HL did the trick for me.

give Jiri or Alpha time to get back to you on this.I take it that Browse your documents folder, subfolder "1c softclub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover", open file conf.ini, search section [net] and delete the line "serverName="

Although its not a HL problem its easier to deal with it there.

[KG26_Alpha]

Is there a way to customize the server name in HL? I'd prefer our server to show up with our name first, and maybe a (HL) at the end, instead of listing the server as Hyperlobby, with our name at the end.

Small thing I know, but important.

Browse your documents folder, subfolder "1c softclub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover", open file conf.ini, search section [net] and edit the line "serverName="

Has something changed in the beta? I only see two servers up now, yet when I log in to the game Client interface there are many more up.

Has ATAG stopped using HL?

I only see IIIJG27 and Escuadron_69, and no one in the lobby or in game?

[BH_woodstock]

dont know why nobody has been using it. from what i have read in previous post hyperlobby boost fps somehow.would be nice to see more pilots there.It would also be so much easier to discuss and compare game settings since the game offers no lobby.Worked great for Il2.

[ATAG_Bliss]

We are currently not using HL due to a bug with the official patch. It seems like you get more than 50 players on a server now and the dedicated server becomes unresponsive. Chat messages / kill messages are for w/e reason getting delayed now after so many players. For instance, you can chat to yourself, and you won't see it show up in game while this is happening.

I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but the server browser used to show all the servers in less than a second. Now it seems, searching in game, that it takes several seconds for the browser list to show up. So, by process of elimination, we are trying to see if HL (for w/e reason) is aiding to cause this problem. I highly doubt it, but it's worth a shot.

The steam browser showing # of players in my sig has never faulted EVER before the official patch. Now it can get stuck on a certain number of players for hours on end (not updating). I'd have to think the 2 are related somehow. We could have 75 players before, and granted there would be stutters with regards to spawning etc, you could always read and see the chat. Now the chat will just flat out stop, as if the data is bottle necked at some point. And when enough people have left the server, or enough time has past, all the sudden the server will catch up again and show messages.

And this has nothing to do with the server hardware peaking etc., there's definitely a new found fault in the game and I believe the problems with something as simple as the browser thingy in my sig are all related the major problem.

It's very frustrating to say the least. We should have 100+ players on there with no problems (albeit the same one's the game has had for a long time.)

[ATAG_Bliss]

Ah I didn't realize steam has updated a few times as I've been away. Maybe it's sorted now?

[ATAG_Bliss]

Nevermind. All messages just stopped etc, steam falling behind I guess. How could they have broken this? :(

[BMCha]

I was in the server earlier today when this happened. I'd flown across the channel to France, and the only contact with blue was a single 109, angled up 60 degrees and sometimes inverting, moving forward at maybe 60mph like some kind of RC plane. My gunnery wasn't the greatest but I did score a few good hits, even got his rudder off, but nothing seemed to affect it.

On my flight back to Hawkinge the server caught up and spammed messages everywhere. I'm thinking there might've been a delay in everything else too (not just chat) based on that 109 described above. Either that or there was a bugged 109 in the air and I happened to visit France after all the blue players left for England.

[BMCha]

I did not (it was the ATAG Server). As Bliss stated he's not using HL at the moment, and assuming my problem was actually due to lag/desync, then there's either a problem with Steam, CoD, or both - something quite severe that warrants looking at if it continues to cause problems.

[Ataros]

I was asked if Repka servers can be listed on Hyperlobby.

As I can not find a FAQ or manual for CloD server owners on the HL site could you please update the first post with step-by-step instructions on how to do it?

I am not the server owner and asked BigRepa if he wants the servers to be listed about a month or 2 ago but he does not have time to go in details being busy with server stability, hardware and software issues. He is not registered here and it looks like I have to provide a simple 1-2-3 steps guide to him.

On my side I have 2 questions:

Version HyperLobby 4.2.12 is the only one in free access. Added on: 14-Feb-2011 Does it support CloD or when CloD version will be in free access (no registration requirement)?

How to remove HL prefix is server browser? It makes an already long server/mission name prohibitively long to fit the available space. The browser reduces the font size to make the name fit into the available space which looks really ugly.

There are step by step instructions if you click the first link in the first post.

There's a reason for registration at the HL site, all discussion regarding the beta is to be made there and not here, the reason for this is to stop fragmenting information across two forums.

The server name can be manually edited in the conf file.

I had to enter the security code about 6 times trying to login, register or get password. Even 1C forums do not ask for security code every time you login, it is not very user friendly enough in the 21st century you know :) I do not think we can ask our user-base to get through this unfriendly process.

When the HL client will be freely available without registration?

Its still in beta, but until CoD/Steam fixes its multiplayer stability, and the CooP interface becomes usable its going to be a while.

There were a few servers on HL but most of those disappear after Steam shuts down and restarts their servers.

Long way to go yet before CoD delivers IL2 1946 pilot numbers on HL.

I will have a look at your HL registration.

Thank you! I suspect mail.ru / list.ru domains are blocked (which is sad as they are the "Gmail" for Russia). Have more success with gmail.com now but I've got a message that my application needs to be approved. This is the most complex registration I had since 2007 I think :) most sites send activation link in the 1st message :)
The site Administrator will review your application and send you an activation link if you are approved.

Correct mail.ru are blocked

Nice :) This means it is not accessible for 90% of Russian (and some Ukrainian, Belorussian, etc.) pilots including Maddox Games and Repka team :) Other forums or bigger companies like Steam, Origin or Youtube to name a few do not block it btw.

Thank you for information anyway. Just received an approval for my gmail registration.

So almost 8 months later and we are still at the mercy of steam....how does MG expect this game to grow if all the efforts of the server operators is in vain?

To be fair the latest patch introduced the memory leak for a lot of users causing lock ups,
but Steam also seems to have a problem holding the servers up for any length of time,
not sure how the net stats are for the popular ones, but they should be able to confirm server failure/restart figures due to steam or the server.

Clod is the only thing I use on Steam.However I have not seen or read of any other game servers besides Clod continuously going offline.

I am well aware of the memory leaks :mad: but i am also well aware of the disconnect that comes from steam that results in the "lost connection with steam server shutting down" and when you check the STEAM! logs not the games logs you will see a message saying "disconnected by remote host"...im just amazed they have not looked into it.

next time you start a server start steam first from a CMD window with the following arguments and see if the steam logs give you any useful info.
steam.exe -lognetapi -noasync

the noasync will get rid of alot of the disconnect/reconnect garbage in the steam log file and the lognetapi will show all P2P activity.

S!

Beta testing ends soon

http://hyperfighter.sk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=8115&start=90

Updated known issues:

Known issues found during open betatest:
* Do not change mission name and description in hosting mode
* Autostart also steam in dedicated server autostart mode
* Game cannot connect the server and timeout (UNCONFIRMED/CLOSED)
* Game cannot detect steam and exit with message "Steam must be running to play IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of dover. Please launch Steam and try again." (UNCONFIRMED/CLOSED)
* Switching Steam cloud storage off user may lost control settings. Solution is backup/restore control settings via the game interface. (GAME FEATURE, NOT HL FAILURE)

I think there is anything more i can do so release will be published soon.

New hyperlobby with Cliffs of Dover support is now out of Beta and ready to fly. Hyperlobby version 4.3.2 get it here http://hyperfighter.sk/index.php

[28_Condor]

Version 4.3.2 works fine but found only two visible server, and two more with password :(

[BH_woodstock]

think about this,what does il2 1946 have that Cliffs of Dover dont??A meeting place!!!A community where pilots can talk, chat, and compare fps,settings,etc..If i dont see pilots in servers just like most are saying here.i either play single player or join the most populated one i can find and usually will fly for a bit, get bored and move on to another game.CloD does NOT have a meeting place!!
Il2 would NOT have survived 10 years without it.1st we had UBI lobby wich was an ok starting point for muiltyplayer experience.Then one day I found Hyperlobby and never looked back, not even once.In my opinion and this is "just" my opinion with all the support that HL has with the community CloD would be far more advanced and fixed and a lot more players if everyone would use a lobby or meeting place such as HL.Am i trying to endorse Hyperlobby? Yes i am.Lets give credit where it is due.Il2 would not have survived this long with out a community.Cliffs of Dover NEVER should have went with "Steam"...It "should" have went to the place where it belongs with a more dedicated community.And i am NOT just saying this because of myself being part of HL staff. "CloD" should have had hyperlobby on the box cover NOT steam.What it all comes down to is that CloD needs more than just a "server" list.it needs friends a common meeting ground, a place to thrive!

I agree with this. HL may be ready for Dover, but Dover is not ready for HL. Until all the stuff that disconnects servers gets sorted out, adding HL into the loop again would just add another program to babysit to keep servers running. With that said, I'm looking forward to using HL again.

[BH_woodstock]

at this moment we have 5 servers up and running

[lion737]

+1

Steam may be something for the ego shooter kids. I am just too old for that.
I deleted Steam, because I felt it would make me mad. I hope they will rethink that policy before CloD is debugged so far, that I would like to give it another try.

[csThor]

The mother corporation 1C relies heavily on Steam (with its other releases). You can moan as much as you want, for 1C Steam is a good platform to publish things on without the hassle of having to print CDs and manuals. Publishers like such systems ...

I had a dream... The CLoD would had replaced IL2 1946 a long time ago. I was really hoping that all the cheating in IL-2 1946 would have been stopped with punk buster or something.

I stopped playing IL2-1946 on multiplayer forums because I could never understand how I could be flying at 100% throttle , angle down at max speed and someone would just catch up to me shoot me down and fly by like i was doing 20kts. That got so old. It seemed I was always under powered and I adjusted everything as needed but I was always being out flown out sped all the time. I have no idea if people are hacking their aircraft or what in il2-1946 but that was something I thought would have been worked out.


The community as a whole should take care of the cheating, I would love to start playing either version again.

Not sure where you've been flying but my experience in 1946 was never anywhere close to what you're describing :eek:

i was flying on the popular HL servers...

[fschris]

Really they need some kind of anti cheat program... I am only saying that if me and 4-5 of my buddies would fly in a private server, we could take 15-20 minutes to shoot someone down.... get into a server on HL... it took like 30 seconds to get shot down. seemed like something was up.

15-20 minutes?? that is the problem fschris, You see most players in HL have been doing this sim for many, many years. a small burst is all that is needed to bring down a plane not 15-20 minutes. you would be dead in seconds with an experienced pilot.
I have been in HL for about 11 years and you hardly EVER see a cheater and if you do see a cheater everyone would know who he is. Next time you fly try recording so you can be sure.And IMO most pilots in HL are honorable and would never even consider a cheat.

[BH_woodstock]

6 servers up and running in HL

[ATAG_MajorBorris]

Hi FSChris,

If having 2000 hours of online combat experience is cheating then you will from time to time run into a true ace that seems like thier gunnery and general airmanship is outragously superior.

Thats becuase it is.

Fret not Chris, with proper tactics, a wing man on coms and practice, you can even the playing field if you want to.

Good Luck!

[BH_woodstock]

we need servers and more people using Hyperlobby.we can get alot more accomplished with "Live direct" communication.

[amyandmarshall]

Just where can I join public multiplayer dogfights for CoD?

I have Hyperlobby but it's a ghost town.

[Troll2k]

For what ever reason the Clod room in Hyperlobby only has 3 or 4 servers in it.Hyperlobby only shows the number of people that have joined through Hyperlobby.There are probably a lot more that have joined through the ingame browser.

All the servers are listed in the ingame browser under client under multiplay.

Most all of them are full switch.(most realism settings)

[mcdaniels]

Hi there,
what happened to the Multiplayer in CLOD. Having the latest BETA Patch applied I only find one Server?

Where is ATAG gone?

Where is ATAG gone?

We had to rebuild the server some time back and we missed some things.
In the mean time, you can find ATAG from the game server browser or through the direct link on out forums and TeamSpeak.

[BH_woodstock]

now that the final patch is out i noticed the servers in hyperlobby are all running smooth as silk.and also noticed a few doing co-ops in hyperlobby as well.
:grin:

cheers!
