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.

:)

Best news in ages! cheers Alpha.

very good news, thanks Alpha

Best news I've had yet today :D Excellent work!

already wondering how it will handling the STEAM stuff :)

and now, 1C just have to make COOPs more easily work/to join :D

Steams no problem :)

Same rules as before regarding Mods / Illegal copies etc

You will be banned for any of the above via Steam.

Fantastic news

Sweet..

wow.

More great news. it keeps getting better and better

Steam is fully supported by HL as game copy protection and DRM and we have implemented some checking if all is OK regarding this.

S!

Good news Jiri and thank You! HL has been and still is THE gateway to IL-2 multiplayer world :)

Thank you very much for your program. Enjoying it for almost 10 years!

Now 1C/MG borrowed 109 start-up sound from HL startup. Thanks again! :grin:

Update to thread

Public beta test now released.

Please read the information carefully.

http://hyperfighter.sk/modules.php?n...ewtopic&t=8115

Could someone attach the file here?

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

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

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

Also take care to read the instructions regarding using Hyperlobby and CoD for your flying fun and pleasure.

:)




.

Just looked through the manual and can not find this information. Could you post a link please to server admins manual? I can pass it to Repka admin if you need more servers to participate in the test.

The requirements to use Hyperlobby with CoD are here, more info on the way
..........

http://hyperfighter.sk/modules.php?n...ewtopic&t=8115

Lol..dont know about a few seconds for the activation Email :rolleyes:

Patience

We are all excited I know and cant wait

:)

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
...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.

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

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

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

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.

Hey ataros - I did a search and found a few things:
from http://hyperfighter.sk/modules.php?n...ws&new_topic=2

Also please check if this might help: http://hyperfighter.sk/modules.php?n...ewtopic&p=5220
and this: http://hyperfighter.sk/modules.php?n...ewtopic&t=7778

Niiiice!

Jiri,

Great news to hear HL is going to support CoD!

Does this mean that VAC is going to work thru HL as well?

JD

:)

Thank you so much! Will try it with Repka.

Fantastic news!

So Alpha is that Smiley face a yes?

JD
AKA_MattE

Excellent! great news.
Thanks!

More great news today!

This will change everything.

:cool:

;)

Slowly the pieces are falling into place. Fantastic news :D

War Hawks are in

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?

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

Cheers
Craig

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

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.

There goes my marriage.

It replaces the current HL with no effect on previous settings etc etc

Joined the HL server fine this morning.
Well done!!!

And still no Email...

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

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.

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.

+1.. :oops:

All done Furbs, thanks mate. I worked it out in the end.

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

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.

Initial testing looks good.

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

Join in the fun.

http://hyperfighter.sk/modules.php?n...ewtopic&t=8115

Great News.Thanks

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?

I only ask because there must be an advantage but no idea what it is, thanks.

Awesome !!!!!!!


:)

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:

...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 -

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..

Nice...

@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:)

+1 to what BH_woodstock said.

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

make sure you uncheck steam cloud:)

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=yQ5kh...ayer_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.

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.

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:)

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

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.

dont let this discourage you guys.hyperlobby has been a part of the il2 series for years and we are dedicated to keeping it going for many more.
here is the link again

http://hyperfighter.sk/modules.php?n...ewtopic&t=8115

hope to see you guys flying in hyperlobby, the more pilots we can get in there and finish this Beta test the quicker we can solve any problems that are being experienced and have a community for Cliffs of Dover.

This Sim needs a lobby, it is the only way it will succeed like il2 did.

Can someone please put up a server in hyperlobby with externals please.I really enjoy the external views with Dover. the landscapes and eye candy look awsome.


thanks in advance

~S~

Hay Woodstock,

Thanks for reply,
The thing that has me worried is the fact there are no missions to choose from when i go to the actual part of the sreen to pick a misson to fly in.

Cheers

O_Smiladon

+++ Super +
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.

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. ;)

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

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.

@ O_Smiladon

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="

didnt work?

it will be solved, no worries m8.:cool:

Please check the Hyperlobby support thread you posted in already.

http://hyperfighter.sk/modules.php?n...=8115&start=75

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

Thxz.

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="

i've tried to join a ded server via HL but i keep getting timedout while i can join without any problem via in-game multiplayer server browser.
Anyone knows how to fix this ?

Thanks :D

S!

Try turning off steamcloud, this should fix the time outs

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?

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.

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.)

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

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

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.

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.

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.
conf
serverDescription=IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover

Thank you! I will forward it to BigRepa.

Thank you Ataros. hoping to see it soon.I also saw a thread last week that "Claimed" FPS was better using hyperlobby. maybe because of "wrapper"?i dont know.Hoping it is true.cya's in the skies!!watch yer 6 cause i'll be there :cool:

Struggling to register at your site getting this error:
Then if I try to reclaim the password using this e-mail I get:
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 :)
