Means ping either timed out, or they weren’t pingable. Someone right next door to you with a ping of 10 will show a ‘?’ if they aren’t pingable.
I’ll tell you what.
My stick that I built uses a Keyboard encoder.
When you plug it in, it installs a different device.
So it appears I have two keyboards hooked up.
So, looking at my hardware properties for Keyboards, I see a Standard 101/102 MS Natural PS/2 Keyboard. And Three HID Keyboard devices.
HID 1 = Saitek Magic Keyboard. It’s a programming thing that’s supposed to let me use my pad as a keyboard or something. It never gets used.
HID 2 = Location 0
________________I’m guessing these are my USB keyboard encoder.
HID 3 = Location 0 /They use the kbdclass.sys and kbdhid.sys libraries
Point is, using these *.sys files, I’m having no trouble hitting more than one key at a time in-game.
Sure, you open notepad and the system will act up a tad, spacing one key press before the other. But it works!
The *.sys files are located in:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\
I don’t think you’d be doing a ton of damage playing with a keyboard driver.
None-the-less, find out what your default driver is BEFORE messing with it.
That way you have the mouse to be able to set it back.
My big suggestion is to test this in nFBA before going online. That way you aren’t annoying the person you’re playing against by setting buttons and such.
Let me know if y’alls keyboards show up as MS Keyboards or HID keyboard devices.
Could be the difference between night-and-day if you’re gaming on a keyboard.
Then, I may just be chasing a rabbit. 
hrap 3 ftw
Just came on here to talk about this and it seems it’s already been brought up.
Just had a great game with someone from the US (I’m in Ireland for those who keep thinking I’m Irish-american)
So that was very impressive.
But I play with a PS3 pad. I’m used to having my grab button set to L1 from learning to play these games on consoles.
I never even played it in an arcade, there is no ‘scene’ over here.
With nFBA I can map my buttons by editing the sf3iiin.ini file in the config like so:
custom “P1 throw” switch 0x408A “P1 Weak kick” 0x01 “P1 Weak punch” 0x01
I tried this with with the 2df nFBA config file but it doesnt work and overwrites it with nothing.
Everything else lets me do this, nFBA GGPO mame etc. Why not this? This is just discrimination to those that don’t use a stick.
Pressing two buttons like SQUARE and X on my pad with my thumb is not the same as pressing two buttons with two fingers with a stick.
Some people may look down their noses at me for wanting to use L1 for grab, the button i’ve used for years since playing SFA3 on my ps1, and its a damn shame there’s people who ignorantly view that as cheating or some shit.
:tdown:
Yeah I’d love it if you added this back in. Great for when people are having good craic and also will mean people might be less likely to act like a child in chat if they are being recorded. All in all the only harm that could come from this is to those that act like bitches.
indeed, I’ve spent a whole day messing around with routers NATS IP’s etc etc. I’ve been forwarding ports for games for years.
But this simply will NOT work for me. Same with GGPO, but at least with this I can still play. I just have to ask someone to challenge me.
Although for some reason my flag does not show either, I’m assuming its related.
As far as I can see, there is no help for those of us with this port forwarding issue.
All anyone can really say is the same shit over and over “did you do step bla bla, did you open it in your firewall”
I have yet to see a solution anywhere, cept buy a new router. I guess some routers are just simply incompatible.
Anyway, as I said, at least with this I can still play. & I can’t stress enough how impressed I was with the smoothness of play I had from across the Atlantic ocean!
so if people from multiple countries come into the room is their high ping going to lag my games? That seems to be the case
meh… I don’t really see the point… all you’d see is people complaining about lag after they lose. Other than that people don’t really seem to chat much ingame.
Unless it causes a lag issue or something I don’t see the point of not having it.
I generally have positive experiences chatting to people in game. Plus as I said, I think there’d be less bitching if they’re convos were recorded.
I’ve hand held about 10 people through the process of configuring their router after they swore up and down that everything was correct, and every single time, their internal ip had changed and was no longer being forwarded to the correct one.
cant believe we cant view most viewed replay from the site, this is EXCELLENT
great work
So any chance you’ll release the finer details on how the player rating system determines rankings?
No big deal or anything, just sort of interested in a math geek sort of way.
That’s nice of you, and don’t misunderstand me I’m not talking about the lack of help I’m talking about how there seems to be nothing that can be done.
So what about the people who’s internal ip is not changing?
As I said my main issue is with GGPO as I cannot game on that at all, on your thing I can play when someone challenges me. But I can’t use my controls fully.
i’d imagine the ranking system is similar to super sunday’s ranking system
It’s not. It takes into account every match you’ve ever played, weighted against your opponents rating relative to your own. Fully automated.
I have to go out now, but I’ll try and help you personally later on.
I was wondering… does losing penalize you?
ranking only make things worse though. remember xbox live…people used to scrub hunt all day instead just playing the fucking game. many people declined matchs because they knew they would be losing their “rank” 
indeed, I’ve come across stats and ranking totally spoiling games before
You can’t scrub hunt, because you gain little rating beating someone who doesn’t have a high rating themselves. Also, losing does not significantly lower your rating, as long as you don’t lose all the time. I believe it’s a system that will accurately reflect a players ability compared to everyone else. You can play without caring about your ratings, or you can use the rating to measure your personal growth and current skill level.
i think ranking is a great idea. If people are going to “scrub hunt” then i don’t want to be playing them anyway.
I don’t know if this will help anyone, but it might, so I took some pictures and wrote a quick how to.
This should be done AFTER forwarding the ports on your router and assumes you’ve done that correctly, I needed to do this to get 2df working, despite the fact that my router was correctly configured. Maybe you will need to as well.
Hit ok, and hopefully you should be good to go.
