WP Tunneling is Dead.

Here is the email i got from WP:

Over the past year, Warp Pipe has slowly transitioned to a software technology company, creating a product suite for video game publishers and developers. As we have made this move forward, we have evaluated the immediate needs of the Warp Pipe community in relation to the long term goals of Warp Pipe Technologies and have come to the conclusion that it is not in our best interest to allocate resources on the GameCube tunneling project.

Although it will remain fully functional, we can no longer provide support to our users. However, we feel that, between our support forums and the GameCube tunneling website, there exist enough resources for the community to aid itself when help is needed.

We would like to thank the thousands of loyal members for all their support and patronage. We look forward to making you all proud to be members of the Warp Pipe community as we strive to change the landscape of online gaming as we know it.

The underlined part is what i was TRYING to tell WPers but NO they dont listen to me.

I am also a WPer and with no new releases coming, I expected this. Besides for some strange reason, their new version .4.2 doesn't seem to work for many people now. That's why I use Kai for the Cube matches I play online.

Well, during this past week i've been trying to get both WP & Kai to work.

0% successrate.

Might it be my hardware configuration or the software, but BOTH programs see my cube and configs it correctly.

But the game never connects to other players.

WP should now release their sourcecode if they intend NOT to support it anymore..

With a little luck, and the low numbers we're seeing for this console, I might get time to get region-free play into evo8.

Also, I hope to talk to the control-sim chaps again soon - perhaps we can offer them use of the orbs or something, to get more games supported for you guys.

Two things I almost forgot about, thanx for reminding me TD, especially the control-sim thingy sounds interresting.

I'm the creator of ControlSim..... and it needs a tunneling service. Internet play doesn't work because I really don't have time to add inet tunnel support.

would it be possible to intigrate Kai with Control Sim?

No, I haven't..... because I've been really busy. I'll be on MSN Messenger tomorrow at about 4:30 (GMT -8:00), if he's still interested in ControlSim.

Hey,

Yeah Sharpener - I'm very interested in getting something together with you for CS. I think I have you on my MSN - I'll try to get online on Saturday evening GMT for a good few hours. Hopefully we can get something worked out..

Alright.... you'll have to tell me how External Capture works. I'll write any program needed for ControlSim support on External Capture.

Edit: I might not be home then - I have a dentist appointment. Hopefully I'll be on around 1:00 PST.

Cool,

As we discussed tonight - the best way for CS is to use the link layer frame tunnel component of kaiEngine. Ext Cap is very new in the kaiEngine tree - maybe one day it will work right Smile

Looking forward to seeing CS working over Kai - it sounds too good to be true what you can do with that thing Smile

I don't think it's too good to be true - it works real nicely over a LAN (like a school LAN or business LAN). I have no idea how well it'll work over the Internet, though.

I added DHCP support last night - and it works. I was going to test inet play yesterday after fixing up the internal IP tunneling code, but none of my testers were online at the right time.

ControlSim should work over Kai in the state that it's in (after my work on it last night).... maybe I'll test it on Kai with someone soon.
