I haven't made a hot key directly for that, but it's available through the command palette. When you use the hotkey of that, and then click "Assist me", all alts will acquire your target and "Fire all".

Hi, is there a way to set up a hot key for firing all weapons on the same target?

Got it, thanks @Yeti 😊

@Huron PM sent with the requested info 😁

I'd like an invite too please 😊

Out of curiosity, what issues are you trying to solve? If it's base Westwood client/server packets I have a repo where I did a bunch of netcode RE with the help of the old server source a while back that I never really did much with. Got bored and wandered off once I realized the proxy was going to be a lot more work, but I've got implementations for a lot of the Auxdata packets and a bunch of test packets.

Thanks for the screenshot. I had local cert checked and prototype reorder was not checked. I matched your screenshot and got in OK. Thanks again!

Hi Aragor, If you are using the LaunchNet7.exe and it looks like the image below its the correct one, the only difference may be the IP address which should be your local IP. If you are using a VM(Virtual Machine) or a VPN(Virtual Private Network) then there maybe another/other IP(s) available if you click the drop down box (the one shown below is 192.168.0.10 which is my local IP not a VPN or VM) if you can post a screen shot image as below showing the possible IP's I maybe able to advise further.

I'm using D:\Games\Net-7\bin\LaunchNet7.exe, I thought that's how I launched it before. No?

Are you using the e&b.exe or the client.exe when you should be using the Net-7 client to load the game! You are getting the INV300 error because you are trying to connect the the non-existent EA EnB server system, NOT the EMU one.

LOL, damn...didn't think I had that much to drink last night. Thanks for pointing out the obvious. OK so i set a new password with confirmation that it was successful. Now when I launch the game through the Net-7 Launcher, and try to log in, I get "EA.com is temporarily unavailable", etc., etc., (INV-300).

Hello all 7 years ago a forum topic was started that was asking questions about the state of things within the emulator, albeit not in a very tactful manner. The post did get derailed and has since been buried due to time and space dust, but did have response from project leadership. With that said though it has now been 7 years since I added my questions to the forum thread, and unfortunately things haven't really changed since the question was answered. The following is what was asked: Now I am not the type of person to complain about efforts put in by others when I am unable to contribute to it myself, but I do feel that after this many years and (correct me if I am wrong) these patch notes and content never actually materialized. I fully understand that being a volunteer based project that unexpected life changes can drastically alter ones priorities in life, specially when the nature of this is as previously mentioned, volunteer based, and with time being the most valuable and important commodity we have in life it should not be used up dealing with something that you really don't have time spare for. So that brings me to the end of this post with basically the same question, where does the project really stand regarding additional story advancement, sectors, mobs, server back end etc? If this is Earth & Beyond Emulator in its final state, then so be it. Hundreds of us have thoroughly enjoyed what has been brought back to life and are eternally grateful for everyone involved in getting it off the ground and in the state we all love and play today. But if there is really content that the team has, please lets have a bit of transparency about how realistic it is that it will ever go live. Thanks for reading -FFT

Correct, the installer doesn't know where you ultimately have installed it. Sometimes people install it in other places, so I did a lot of registry wizardry to try to figure it out, but then the guides that are out there and pinned tell you to set that value. I think Karu may have updated my universal installer at some point, or someone might have; I know someone asked me, so it could have changed, but I don't recall forcing that path because it relies on your E&B installation directory.

I will say this: We have been using some AI to look at some very old issues from around the time we first got a working multiplayer build, but so far it hasn't yielded much from the game client except a few switches that were designed for the 56k internet days and that sort of thing. What i'll say about AI as a whole, however, is don't overestimate it as many business leaders are. The biggest thing that can make it work usefully is not just having it and a monkey with a typewriter who can generate code, i.e., vibe code. Prompt Engineering will become its very own discipline if we insist on this foolishness. You can indeed design great programs, but AI is programmed for a couple of things: Risk Aversion for the company that makes it and following relative institutional norms. It has a general desire to agree with the user to exploit some psychological human quirks that make us like things, the better for someone's stock price, you see? It will *always* take the fastest path to reward, and while it *might* solve a problem, it could create 30000 others. This is where the prompt engineering comes in.

Hello! I was having the same issue. When I stumbled onto this thread, I realised that when I ran the Net-7 Installer, it tied to e&b.exe rather than to client.exe in the /release folder. Reinstalling both the game and the emulator, and pointing the emulator at the correct .exe should fix the issue.

Hi, As you are able to login to the Net-7.org site and the forums if you select the Accounts section on the Net-7 site under Avatar Settings, there is a option below "Change Password" titled "Forgot Password" it is that which you NEED to press (See the image below.) All the best, Yeti[GM]

Like the title says, and I've tried to follow previous posts on this issue, but still cannot get into the game. I set everything up a bunch of years ago and got into the game just fine. Then within the past year or two, the game login stopped working (incorrect password). I can log in fine on Net-7 and in the forums. I followed an older post and went into Account and Avatar settings on Net-7, opened the account (I have 2), and tried to change the password, but got an error "PWERR_4: Old password is incorrect". If I knew the original password, I'd be able to log in in the first place, so I'm not sue what else to do here. Do I really need my original password to change it to a new password? I always thought my game password was the same as the Net-7 and forum password, but it seems not to be, and as such it hasn't been auto-saved anywhere that I can find. Any suggestions? Thank you.

LOL, could never bring myself to delete the bookmark - glad to see it back, even if more for the memories than the content.

🤫 Can't tell you yet, still a secret 😇

You are too quiet, what are you up to now Huron??

Bit outdated but another site with information, all good. Something to browse thru.

I would not recommend trusting LLMs with touching C++ networking code (or any C++ with untrusted inputs). Could be good to help find bugs, but I think the latest shiny thing is also supposed to be super expensive to run.

You did not actually tell what the issue is. There is no need to port forward. You probably only have single selection in Local IP field (ie your have single network card). If you have Local IP set wrong, then net7proxy complains (after you press "Start" on launcher) "Server failed to respond to login attempt" and does not even launch the game. If you using VPN, then you might have multiple network adapters and when you have VPN active then you need to select VPN interface address from there. Glad you got it working.

I managed to resolve the issue, I just needed to restart my PC, uninstall everything reinstall everything, then just luck out with not having an error along the way on the 3rd attempt. Then deal with 3 updates within the client. Thank you me, glad we have Forums.

Not played the EnB emulater myself for a long time, nor used the loot site I built all those years back. But after reminising with a fellow Progren about the fun we used to have and what the name of a certain projectile weapon was, we noticed the gearlist loot database was offline. I've patched it and its back online https://enb.gearlist.co.uk/ No alterations/fixes etc have been made to this site for years, info on there is very likely out of date. But maybe it will be of use to someone. You never know, maybe i'll get back into the cockpit one day. Have fun out there 🫡
