I understand the protracted nature of this project, and can appreciate the sensitivity of your position. Rest assured that I am NOT suggesting that you drop whatever current coding priorities that currently exist just to accommodate me. It is realistic for me to expect that my comments will be taken with a grain of salt at best, and ignored at worst.Dilvish wrote:Remember, this is all being brought to you by a small handful of volunteer programmers. Any feature we prioritize inherently pushes back other features. We have identified a number of solutions that should work for you, so I really don't understand why you would keep pushing on this if you really considered our position along with your own.
At some point in the future the multiplayer interface will be revisited, and perhaps at that point some of my related play-experience will be taken into account - at the appropriate time.
I have put the null cable that you suggested into my amazon basket, and am investigating if my computer has an ethernet card - so far it does not show up when I go to control panel and look at my system setup. Perhaps I just don't know enough about how to discover it's presence short of dragging my desk away from the wall to get at my machine back and look with my own eyes.
I did investigate the earlier suggestion for ppp on my null modem cable - and my brain glazed over as the jargon got increasingly technical.
If I knew as much about this as you did then I wouldn't be here displaying my ignorance, and I really am thankful for any help I can get.
Thank You.
