Shirtless Crackhead Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 So, basically my dad is pretty sure he can tool over Xlink Kai letting ACU setup it's own Kai server with a modified Kai program that'll work with the old AC games, atleast the ones it used to. I've emailed Team Xlink to see what they think about me/us/whomever doing this, and what information they'd be willing to hand out. So if any of you have knowledge on how the Kai program works, what needs to be done to it, etc... Please let me know such information. Also, I'd like to see if it's possible to get SL working on "our" Kai variant. So information to that effect would also be useful. I'd also like to ask, if you find this as useful, send emails to Team Xlink letting them know that the information I/we seek would be not only useful, but of no loss to them as Xlink Kai doesn't support PS2 AC games anymore.

Shirtless Crackhead Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm really waiting to hear back from the Xlink Kai people, which will probably be never. But once my dad gets back from visiting my sister, we'll be looking at what we need to do and how long it'll take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuranga Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 unless team x-link has any specialized software on their servers that he would have to recreate, other than basic networking systems it shouldn't be too hard. let's hope team x-link just serves as a dedicated linchpin, and not a logical hub which is hopefully based in the distro software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendragon Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 SL over kai? No thanks, that game was so easily broken. But I'd LOVE to see this kai project progress regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 What's so broken about it? The competitive banlist for Silent Line might easily be the shortest for all the old armored core games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YUNG MASTERLESS GLENCOUR Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 the client lag issue is pretty bad though tbh, especially since it's really inconsistent. If there was a way to fix that then yeah as long as you play with a good set of tourney rules the game is phenomenal. Like the client lag issue is bad enough that if it didn't exist SL would be the runaway best in the series to me. Because of it though I still feel MOA and LR are about as good or maybe just a little worse. that issue was weird too cuz it was like an issue related directly to the game coding, iirc.

Shirtless Crackhead Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Well, here's my list of priorities with as far as this project goes. #1. Figuring out if we're going to be able to get a working Kai version for the games it used to support. Granted the old program basically does, we just need to be able to setup our own server here on ACU, or just somewhere we control. #2. Figuring out if it's possible to get SL working. #3. If the above works, then we will try and address the possibilities of eliminating client lag on SL. I don't think we can eliminate client lag from SL, but there might be a way to circumvent whatever is causing the client lag or directly compensate for it so it doesn't effect games.

YUNG MASTERLESS GLENCOUR Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Sounds like a good plan to me. I hope you guys figure that out, I'd like to see some cool gameplay vids of SL from y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Is this done yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirtless Crackhead Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I'm waiting til next week to really look at the program with my dad and seeing what can be done. I'm taking him to the airport tomorrow so he can fly to Texas and visit my sister and her two kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
