Hey everyone, just dropping a line to let you know that I have OP Online and have been playing online with Bios. Feel free to email me @ rucker_73@hotmail.com and I will send you the link to the program.
It is great to play OP online again. Seems that our group is getting bigger, there are 5 people in my MSN willing to venture a few missions! Hope more people join us soon!
Hey! I used to play Bios way back when when irc had the OP channel...
Hey, I remember you. We had good games! The good news is that I am working with a new version of the OP online program and soon we'll have the chance to play again. Here is my e-mail, if you want to get news about the program development: bios37@hotmail.com
Is it just me, or is the Danger Room ASPECT card, HOLOGRAPHIC ATTACKERS missing from OP Online?
The programmer of OPOnline had "The Danger Room" for the Aspect but only "Danger Room" for the homebase. Same for Outback. Since they aren't the same thing, it doesn't show up. How to fix? I'll look into obtaining the latest database from the Philly OP people with the new Marvels art and bug them for a correction of some of these. I'll likely repackage OPOnline (and hopefully find a better way to update OPOnline than redownloading 70MB).
You'll also notice that anything with a : (colon) in the name is missing by default when you go to Specials.
As long as you're checking bugs, is there any way to add Dark Beast activators when making a battlesite? The old version (with Captain America for the loading screen) works fine, but the newer one (with Mr. Fantastic) doesn't let you add Beast specials on Dark Beast sites.
The only thing I can really do is modify the database. The Beast/Dark Beast is probably a constraint within the actual application, which I can't easily modify. I'm guessing it adds the first card it matches with the hero name, in this case being "Beast". That won't be an easy fix as I had to add more stuff into my own database to make it work nicely.
I also just discovered the bug where if you double click to add a card to a battlesite, it doesn't add the activator.
I have a very old version of the source code for OPO, I can look into it.. but it's written is something I don't use often.
Sometimes I think I should just make a MWS patch for Overpower. It wouldnt enforce the rules like OPOnline does, but it would be less buggy and (much more importantly) you could connect to a server instead of having to connect directly to another person's IP using Hamachi.
I was looking into that as well but I've decided to keep it completely on the web to make it friendlier to people that don't (won't) use Windows.
I don't know anything about programming, but I would love to help with any kind of project that could make OP playable through a browser. Decks could be saved online and accessible with a password or something, and then instead of having to find someone to play in advance and specifically connect to them, you could sit in a lobby and find opponents at random whenever someone else joins.
Is this just a pipe dream or is it kind of feasible?
All I need are testers, I think I can get this project done without any help (though it would be nice to get help!).
Everything you mentioned is very feasible. I can even import and export decks from my site to OPOnline. The current interface, with slight modifications, will be used to create decks. There will also be live viewing of matches and replays too. The gameplay will essentially be like OPOnline as it is with less buttons. You will be able to move cards on the table and it'll snap into place.
I would definitely love to test your new program for you, when it is ready for that phase! Sign me up!
I'll likely have the rest of the card selectors done by the end of April. Sign ups to the site will begin late May when you can start building and importing decks. There will be a silent period from then until August when I do the development on the actual game.
I've looked at my version of the source of OPOnline, it's a very old version, v1.5, there's a lot of things missing in it. It won't be feasible to bother modifying it to have a few bug fixes.

Yes! I've dreamed of OPOnline having a spectator mode forever. Great stuff, let me know if I can help with anything.
Onslaught: There is one way to add Dark Beast as an Activator, it involves editing the deck file. Open the file with notepad
Find,
CARD=Activator
CARDID=23
Modify to,
CARD=Activator
CARDID=73
This will change the Activator image, it will still say 'Activator: Beast' in the deck builder, but does not affect the Activator function on OPOnline.
bamf!
Whoa, cool find. Thanks!
The program is working well for me, unfortunately my friend is having trouble with it. When he opens the OverPowerOnline folder all he gets is gibberish. He uses a Mac so is that the problem?
Yes, OPOnline doesn't work on a Mac.

Bummer! Too bad for him. :(
Thanks for letting me know, Jack.
I noticed I haven't listed my info in this thread.
I play OpOnline quite a bit...
Plenty of ways to contact me, skype, msn, fb, aim...
msn is easiest - zippa_head@hotmail.com
Good luck all
I'm always looking for new opponents on OPonline as well. Feel free to add me at rucker_73@hotmail.com
Please mention why you are adding me when sending the request.
Thanks
I finally downloaded OP Online and when I try to run the deck editor it just sits there saying loading and never actually loads.
Extract the contents from the System32 Package.exe into the folder, double clicking it should suffice.
For Windows XP, it should work fine in Admin mode, not sure about regular user mode.
For Windows Vista/7, you can either run the program as administrator (not really recommended) or choose the compatibility settings (file properties, compatibility) and make it as Windows XP SP3.
I'm sure there was a thread on this...
I did it and it worked. Sorry if there is already a post on this. I just went to this one because of its name.

The above is finally what made it work for me. I use Windows XP.
Looks like most people use MSN to find people to play OPonline with. I don't have that so its only Facebook and coming in here that lets people know I'm available to play some games. Maybe I'll make a hotmail account and get MSN.
Finally created a hotmail account. My address is Nate_Grey_@hotmail.com
Not familiar with hotmail or MSN so hopefully I'll get the hang of it soon. Feel free to contact me though if you want someone to clobber in Overpower. :D
This past weekend I put together a home theatre PC, which normally wouldn't matter to any of you, but it means that I've got a Windows machine in the house now.
As soon as I get it all hooked up, I should be good to go for OP Online. I'm looking forward to playing some games (and likely being destroyed).

That's good to hear! We seem to be at about the same level of playing so it should be fun if we could get some games in. :)

I had the same thought. I'm interested in playing everyone else too, but I think the two of us are a good match to learn the 'modern' rules together.

Sounds good. I have played a couple of people from these forums and they've already begun to fill me in on the newer rules, especially with Battlesites and activators. I've just opened an MSN account (e-mail posted above) since that is what many people here are using to hook up for some online matches.
Woah, looks like this thread was pulled out of the woodwork. I'm wondering if Demacus and SirSlayton are still in FL and still play? I'm in Orlando and I have 3 other players...

Good to know you're here as well. I certainly asked my fair share of questions there.
Hamachi works great and It's very easy to use. Ive played alot of games using a similar program for another card game with it. It's suppose to clone your IP adress or something like that. I feel safe using Hamachi and I don't have to mess with that port forwarding thing. I've used Hamachi successfully using computers with Windows XP and Windows 7. You can dowload the free program at https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi2/ My OP Online app works fine and I'm looking forward to playing a game. Feel free to join my Hamachi network. Intially, I had problems loading the deck editor, but I did the extract and run as administrator thing and it runs smoothly now.

That's what I use and what most people here are using to play one another online. I'm usually on late at night (midnight PST) when most of the Canadians on these boards are off to bed. :(

Any current updates on this project going forward? Just wondering. Also, to answer Metaphist's question, though I'm sure he's aware by now, I'M STILL HERE! Still living in SoFla... Move to NY didn't pan out as planned.
If you're talking about my grand idea, that's indefinitely delayed until I get my degree. I'm only slowly working on the new site and getting that up and running.
