Title: Outdated Network Code
Post by: fadein on October 16, 2010, 04:47:32 AM

First off, I'm running Linux.

When I try to connect to a server with skulltag 98d-alpha build 2980, I get this error: "Failed connect. Your version uses outdated network code."  The skulltag forums suggested that I update to 98d-alpha to avoid this message.

When I use skulltag 98c, I can't connect because all servers seem to be running 98d-alpha.

Has anybody else run into these errors?

Is somebody running a server on version 98c?

Aye.  Download the full game and it should come with its own copy of Skulltag v0.98d?.  The demo version does run under Skulltag v0.98c?, but most people have the full version by now. (Both the demo and the full version are free.)

The version of Skulltag bundled with MM8BDM is the Wintendo version  :cry:

I have been able to download Skulltag 98d-alpha build 2980 for Linux (it's only the 32-bit build, I'd rather the 64 bit one), which is, so far as I can tell, what everyone's game server is running.  But it sounds like there aren't many of us Linux users playing MM8BDM.  Maybe I'll have to bring this up on the Skulltag forums.

Oh, this is news to me! I didn't realise we had some form of linux build up.

Did you manage to get online? You may need to use doomseeker to find the servers. Luckily there's a linux version of that.

If you can get it working, let me know how it goes!

Aha! MM8BDM isn't using the latest version of skulltag yet. It's using the previous build which is 2969, and you can get it for Linux!

http://www.skulltag.net/download/files/ ... 86.tar.bz2 (http://www.skulltag.net/download/files/testing/98d/SkullDev98d-2969linux-x86.tar.bz2)

Still only 32 bit though. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks, CutmanMike!   :p
I've got it installed, and I'll give this a shot this evening after I'm off work.  I'll sure let you know how it goes!   ;)

Thanks for the pointer CutmanMike!  That did the trick!

I tried the 2969 build and was able to connect!!! :mrgreen:

Here's a tip for Linux users to help make sure you're downloading the Linux build that corresponds to the Windows build that ships from Cutstuff.net:

Code: [Select]

grep -a "Skulltag version" skulltag.exe
That'll give you the version and build number so you can find the same one in the Linux download area on skulltag.com.
