Today and over the past few weeks I've been fixing various netplay issues and also recreated the
Netplay Sessions page. Here's a list of things I've done.
New Netplay Sessions Page
-The new page is smaller, cleaner and is migrated to the "new site code".
-There's now a list that shows the top most popular RGR games to netplay along with a 'Create Session' link that lets you create a netplay session for that game right from the netplay sessions page.
-A game session history tracker now displays the last 50 netplay sessions. A good way to find out when users usually do netplay, if you missed a netplay session, and also gives you ideas for games to netplay.
Bug Fixes
-Netplay sessions stay open and don't auto close when users aren't chatting.
-Netplay sessions get removed again from the netplay sessions page when a session is no longer being used.
-Chat room in both the game window and netplay sessions page should be working fine and has been upgraded and modified to a better scr
ipt.
-The links for leaving and deleting a session are available again in the play window of a netplay session. The 'Reset' button is also available again to those who created the session.
For those who don't know, the
RGR Plugin lets you join and create netplay sessions for games in the
Retro Game Room which lets you play multiplayer games online with other users of Vizzed. Supported systems include SNES, NES, PS1, Genesis, SMS, N64, TG16, PCFX, TGCD and more! You can join a session in progress from the
Netplay Sessions page or you can create a new session by finding a game in the
Retro Game Room, scrolling half way down the game's page and clicking the 'Click here to Start a New Netplay Session' link, which lets you set up the netplay session. Netplay sessions work best in Google Chrome.
If anyone has any questions or feedback, please respond to this thread.
