Give'r a go and let me know how it runs. On PC, IE 6 seems faster than Firefox. Can someone on a Mac tell me if it runs smoothly in Safari?

I'm hoping this works well on most people's computers so I can start adding more stuff in.

not sure if this was already suggested, but I'm not reading through 1200 posts. It would be sick to have score for runs, like one uneditable level that has a highscore list.

hey man i know this is probably way off topic, but i have been thinking that you have two big mountain scenarios, how about a terrain park area.
maybe with rails and boxes but it would still be pretty sick in a park environment
but its just a thought

if your lookin for something  new to do try making jumps instead of just cliffs
maybe booters for big mountain levels or possibly a new terrain park level

yo not to hate or anything, but you should read the whole thread before posting ideas, not that they arent good ones, but some ideas (such as your two posts), have been posted many times, and i believe he is working on a park level?

Multiplayer is in! I've been working on it since July and finally got it right. And someone to host the extra server.

Read the directions on the page.

Crashes don't send you to the top of the hill unless you a hit rock. It makes it easier for people to do trains.

You'll see your own messages with every one elses if chat is working.

I think the max is going to be 25 people until I cough up $700 for a better server license.

From what I've seen today, the chat thing needs some work to be useable. And people need to know where players are if they are off screen.  People have joined, not seen anyone on the hill, and thought the game was broken.

It seems like players are moving pretty smoothly most of the time which is good.

for seeing where peeps are, a tiny map with a mini pic of the hill and dots nshit all over it would work nicely.

Dude multiplayer is the sickest idea ever. I was always hoping you would do it, but didn't think it was feasible. Unfortunately, I click connect, and it just stays on connecting... How long is it supposed to take? :(

The server was down last night, but is back up today. Lets see how long it stays up.

If you were having trouble before, try again. It still isn't clear whether people are playing with you or not if they are off screen so it ends up feeling like single player most of the time anyway.

Capacity isn't a problem yet. I haven't seen more than 6 people playing at once. It was pretty awesome doing a 4 person train down the map.

There isn't a secret to it. It doesn't really count as multiplayer if nobody else is playing though, does it?

I just made some minor changes. Text in the chat box shouldn't get cut off anymore, and riders reset to the same place by default to make it easier for people to find each other.

Chat doesn't work for me, and other skiers "skip" down the hill, but it's still sick.

Does this happen to everyone, or are other skiers smooth on some people's connections?
