Netplay Mod

[neobayou]

Hey, I'm the developer of Frozlunky.

Recently (2 days ago) released a netplay mod for Spelunky, doesn't seem to have found its way here but I'm posting this as an FYI. As you would expect with an early netplay mod release, there's probably some kinks to be worked out, so all feedback is encouraged so I can quash all the bugs!

Wow! It is Spelunky HD Online Multiplayer (co-op). How many players can play? Four? [Sorry for my English.]

Currently max two players can play online together.

[Kamil950PL]

Is it possible to make that more players can play online together or local and online players simultaneously (for example 3 players on one PC and 1 person on other PC through online or 2 people on one PC and 2 on other PC also through online) in the future?

[Sorry for my English.]

[Mattlock]

OMG YESSSSSSSSSS so what is the list of known bugs?

[Dragonorder18]

Let me know if it's much good, or if it's better to wait for something more.

Stupid Chrome says that "Frozlunky.exe" is a virus...

@Disciple - you can try in different web browser.

I'm good with Chrome - downloading is still available through the "Downloads", just saying.

So, i have to ask, is it safe and whatnot? I mean in this digital nightmare of an age where everything you do is tracked, viruses everywhere and whatnot, it doesnt hurt to be careful. :P

If so, hail the freakin' PC master race right there, gotta love them mods, all the better if they add online multiplayer!

How well does this work anyway? Maybe i should get some people to play online with someday if it works, as i never had much amusement from trying to beat the temple/hell levels in singleplayer due to all the difficulty and insta-death, yet no new interesting things/items to encounter, or anyone to play with (which always makes things more amusing).


Hm, wonder how controls have to be setup for this, do you need a pair of P2 controls if you're the client, or will P1 controls do fine too? (Using the keyboard here, so...)

I guess I can't really answer the virus part since I released the mod. In fact, even virus scanners saying it's clean (although chrome claims it's malicious on some platforms due to it not being popular software) is really not enough to prove that it's truly not malicious. So I guess you'll have to trust I'm not trying to break your machine :3

No additional controls required. For the person hosting there may be a tiny bit of hassle involving port forwarding, I'm working on resolving this through NAT hole-punching in the future.
