Server is on top, client on bottom.

Hmmmm,

In a wild guess, Captain Obvious is guessing that the software for creating a match and simulating the progress of the match worked (maybe), but that rendering the field, game pieces, and robot graphics/models failed. In other words, you have invisible physics models playing on an invisible field; but you don't have the visible graphics that are supposed to be shown at the virtual locations reported by the physics models.

That might be fixable by switching to backlevel libraries or by supplying new graphics models.

If I could remember how to activate the slick debugging features Dave Stevens put into the code (6-8 years ago)(using Lua and some other tricks), we could test my guess by seeing if we could get wireframe outlines of the physics models to appear. I sent Dave an email today, asking if he can dredge up any memories. Maybe his supply of memberries is fresher than mine.

PS: If you are wondering why I don't just look through the old code... Well, what we developed contained intellectual property that belonged to the folks who partially paid for developing it, and I didn't get to take any of the code with me when I left those folks, and moved on to greener pastures.
