Meeting place for online games

NEW INFO!!!

We finally made it! Me and asadex played an online game over internet!!

(and I lost

)

We used an application named Hamachi, which can be downloaded from here: https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/vpn.asp
Once installed, you need to connect to the network Fantasy Wars. For that you need a password, which you get by sending a PM to me or asadex.

Once Hamachi is up and running you will see your Hamachi IP in big white numbers. If you host a game, this is the IP the others will have to connect to. You can also chat to other players in the group if you right click their name.

(Xfire is history.)

Unfortunately we seem to be unable to connect to eachother. Might be a problem with one of our connections though (routers, firewalls etc). If anyone has actually managed to play this game online, let us know.

I have played it over LAN, not with a direct IP.
The only issue would be a blocked port on the hosts router.

Basically, the hosts router would need port forwarding setup for whatever port this game uses.

Email me at maluzu@gmail.com to setup a time this weekend, I am more than willing to host the game and get the details worked out. I want FW to get as much multiplayer love as possible.

... I will continue to work on the map editor, my goal is to have a multiplayer map pack available ASAP. That alone will help get more folks interested, we need variety

I will also check into the multiplayer lobby thing... I just happen to know a very good programer, we will see if he has any interest in helping.

yah.. Ok.. I'm not that good. Once I get the game installed I'll see what I can do.

It's great to see the community's active! I'll join as soon as the game's published in Poland (at least a month, I believe

) or I manage to get it from somewhere else.

He is modest

I got a response from 1C, the person that responded said to his knowledge the game developer is not working on a multiplayer lobby. So, any effort to do so is not wasted time.
