What to do with current networks code in WZ? Try to fix, any one good at network code/problems in latency/sych? Or should we just use game network libs that is open source that handle code for dial modem users or LAN users? I know we talk abouts this before, but nothing I recall was said about what to do/use? These I find that we may be able to work with, http://www.opentnl.org/faq.php is C++ & GPL works with Mac, window,linux.

After looking at both gamelogics and netcode of wz relatively extensively,I figured out that it's not only netcode that makes wz unplayable in MP,but also the non-constant gamelogics update rate makes the synchronization process impossible,because the PC spec varies from player to player in a mp game. IMO we will need to fix the non-constant gameframe problem first and see the results of such fix before trying to rewrite the netcode,maybe the net desynchronize is 'suddenly' fixed once we fix the gameframe stuff...
