Infinifrag, Version 1.1

Ever since the first less-than-spectacular playtest of Infinifrag, I’ve always wanted to fix some of the big gameplay flaws and give it another shot. With the end-of-semester RPI ACM/GDC LAN party right around the corner, I figured that I’d dig back into the (ugly) code of Infinifrag and get the game running in time for another playtest at the LAN. Although the game is mostly the same, there are a few large changes:

  • Improved network latency via TCP_NODELAY
  • No more War/Peace modes; players can build and shoot at any time!
  • “Weapon One” set with a much weaker default, requiring players to customize
  • “Weapon Two” replaced with Satchel Charge, which can blow up blocks!
  • Players now start with a small amount of energy which increases over time and resets when they die

    I really am looking forward to play, but what does the error
    ‘??Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "launcher.pyw", line 34, in ?
    File "main.pyc", line 41, in newgame
    pygame.error: No video mode large enough for 1400×1050??’
    mean? I tried changing my display settings, but still, nothing.
    It just keeps on returning the same error. I tried as small as 600×800, and it stil gave me the same error.

    I had the same error as BiBT.
    could it have something to do with Video card drivers?

    It might be hardcoded in somehow; I made this game in college for our LAN parties, where we all had 1400×1050 resolution screens.

    Hey folks, did you try editing the “config.cfg” in the game directory? Choose some resolution your CRT/LCD works with… 🙂
    Cool game, btw – looks like loads of fun in multiplayer 🙂

    4th Post! Sorry But Hell Its An Empty Topic Brought Back To Life!!!
    When it says IP when your about to connect with the client does that mean you can go online?
    and others that use the same wireless like my brother, could they join my server with the default IP setting (local something, what it is when you open the client B4 joining)
    Thx If you can answer this!

    You’re supposed to get some friends to play with you and you shoot each other.
