Listening beyond launch. #50

Open strayM8T opened 7 years ago

strayM8T commented 7 years ago

I am trying to make it so people can log in at any time, as it is right now all players must be in the lobby before launch.

Any direction on where and how to make this happen?

It doesn't sound too hard on a technical level, but it seems like there'd be a lot of edge cases for joining mid-day. The only thing I can think of off-hand is joining late in the day on the day when your wedding should have been. (And, to be fair, I think weddings are glitchy now anyways).

Anyways, at a minimum you'd need to keep the listener running, preferably in it's own thread (Multiplayer.startHost()), and once they connect and send their farmer data go ahead and start the day for them. Probably send them a time sync packet as well.

There's probably a lot of tweaking that would need to be done though.
