Brian, I have this here little problem:
I wanted to make a multiplayer game (yes, I changed my mind about networking)
and I ran into trouble
1) on b17u2, the server crashes as soon as I attempt to join and throws a HostError
2) On b15, it still works, but the projectiles don't get synched, and if I don't start the engine from the editor and quit the map first the engine crashes if I attempt to join.
3) Sometimes the engine says it couldn't bind to IP and port
There are some more problems, my brother and I are still testing

After closing Server.app and before opening the same one again, wait up to 5 minutes and the 'stuff' will be reset and it will work. I don't think there's a work-around for this, says Brian.
I've had the wierdest problem in muliplayer, if I use a model for a projectile it apears as the player model (only to other people) and it gives my errors like player.js named animation does not exist: bounce.
So now I have to use projectiles like bullets as missiles.

Yeah, I'm still doing work on some of these. I'll have the crash on join bug fixed ASAP, I'm working on that now.
#3 is a killer -- sometimes -- and I think it's not as bad as it used to be -- OS X (and windows, too) holds the port even after I've told it to close. There's a sanity time out that kicks it at certain moments (say, for instance, it's not getting it's hand sake from the connected machine), and this forces you to wait for a minute or two before restarting. This could be my fault but I don't see where.
