Hey !

I was wondering if it's possible to make the bot atuo-save game each level ?

I mean it could be usefull for tourny or lihl games when someone dc :D
I know there is gproxy etc, but when you have a real problem with your box and have to restart it, gprogy can't do much. I kow it's not hapening a lot, but I think it wuld be very nice to have an auto-save each time a level start, for tournament (and maybe lihl too), to prevent a lose because of someone who lost connection OR to prevent someone to plug pull. So we could re-start the game when somone got a problem.

Good idea ?

Is this "box" you're referring to the modem, or the computer? If it's the modem you're referring to, then you're statement is completely wrong. GProxy++ will continue to work regardless of whether or not the modem is working. The modem just has to be working before the time the 180 seconds is up. My modem has restarted plenty of times and I've been able to reconnect to the game before.

Auto-save would create saved game for the people who don't disconnect, but there's still the problem of getting you the saved game. Saved games are not compatible between players, so if your computer crashes then you'd have no way of getting the correct saved game.

See http://www.codelain.com/forum/index.php?topic=16524.0 for discussion on using saved games. Basically some things work if you used a saved game from an ally, but there's still things that are messed up and could cause big problems.

Dreath, yea I was refering to the modem with "box", I'm not sure about how many times my modem need to restart or to be connected again, but 180 seconds maybe are enough.

uak, ok then :( I will make sure i use proxy for next tourny XD
