Finally something better then Kai or XBC .
Kai is ok , but you have to search every arena untill you find someone with a ping of 30 ms .

XBC has a ping filter , but the prog. never got updated .

So this is great ! All i need is a Mac version of this or i have to use vmware .

will be nice to get it as standalone plugin / program for JTAG , so it will work without a PC.

Wow, without jtag? This is beautiful!!! Hope this continue's and grows in recognition. I have a few games i wouldn't mind playing against a few co-workers and brother using this.

if your not jtag'd with the ping patch you will still suffer from the 30ms ping restriction.

only thing i like over kai than this is lack of being able to see peoples games and having to send remote host. what if the people you play with online doesnt have it so you wanna play with random. or you wanna play with pple here its a lil pain to send out pms and all but all in all the program looks nice i give you props

Is anyone else getting "UPnP port mapping failed (2)"?

I know uPnP works on my router for other software.

"SSDP Discovery Service" & "Universal Plug and Play Device Host Service"

It wasn't, but I started it. And even rebooted.

Still the same error. However, I should mention this in on an XP install in a VMWare Fusion VM.

I'll try on actual native windows install and see if that makes a difference.

BUT... looking forward to the standalone uPnP library version!

UPDATE: uPnP working as expected on a native XP hardware install.

akula169 · « **Reply #26 on:** October 14, 2010, 03:24:00 PM »

Excellent - uPnP now works as expected on my XP Virtual Machine...

join the Cloud XBSlink v0.8.2.0 published!
Posted on October 21, 2010 by seuffert

Hail to the cloud baby!

XBSlink V0.8.2.0 brings the new cloud feature along with a lot of small changes.

What is the Cloud feature?
Many XBSlink users asked for a simpler way of finding and connection to other users. The Cloud feature helps with this. After loading a cloud list from a cloud list server it is as simple as pushing a button to connect to a cloud of other XBSlink users or to create a new cloud an wait for others to join you.

In contrast to the P2P protocol used by XBSlink, the cloud list is managed by a central server. The server script itself is pretty simple and a PHP+sqlite3 version is publicly available (see Downloads). Feel free to run your own XBSlink cloud list site!

Since the XBSlink protocol had to change, v0.8.2.0 is not compatible with earlier versions of XBSlink, sorry.

Changes in XBSlink v0.8.2.0:

implemented the new Cloud feature
high priority packet delivery for DATA packets
dead node removal (ping check)
XBSlink protocol changed to support XBSlink clouds (dropped Masterbrowser, enhanced P2P connection setup)
copy info messages to clipboard
UPnP timeout on start-up fixed
UPnP port mapping error fixed
tray icon size fixed
sound notifications (new chat message & node joins)
many small changes

added detection of private subnet IPs (in new simple Cloud-list server v1.1)
new detection of external public IP when UPnP & STUN is not used.
passwords were transmitted in plain text. switched to MD5 hash.
exception handling on failed UPnP port mapping
(low) sound notification on leaving XBSlink node
