....and I can't believe it hadn't warranted a mention here on R.A.S., of
all places. Well, here's the announcement:

GPL is a long, long way from dead. There are some amazing things on the
GPL horizon. It may not have some of the features that the newest sims
have, but it has a historic undertone that no other sim is, or will be
able to duplicate. This fantastic 69 mod is a graphic illustration of
that. If you an ex-GPL'er, you need to check this one out; it will
likely get your GPL blood going again.

Thank you for the alert.

Ya, it's shame GPL couldn't use the ports that other online games use, cause I
can't play online. Couldn't someone just fix this?

There are probably settings in your firewall that can redirect traffic,
or you could try to use NAT to achieve that result, I belive.

Remember Fletch, GPL predates windows 98, so there was no effective
Direct X software to funnel ports, recognize joysticks, or enable 3d.
It all had to be fudged by the programmers and there was no standard like
there is today. Yeah, it's a shame, but it's not responsible for your
not being able to get online. Grab some knowledge, learn how to open your
own ports and off you go...
I was tempted to say, Cowboy Up in that last sentence, but due to
recent certain types of movies...I'll skip that....

Yeah, don't go there, Dave :-)
