New Multiplayer fakeserver

[R'as al Ghul]

The fakeserver is offline.

Konnichiwa.

Given the recent developments concerning the fakeserver, I decided to host the server temporarily on one of my private machines. I'll look into the possibilities to rent a Windows Server to keep it permanent.
From now on you can reach the fakeserver under:
shogun-fakeserver.dnsdojo.org

You need to change your internet.cfg file in the main Shogun folder to this:

ChatserverIPAddress = shogun-fakeserver.dnsdojo.org
ChatserverPort = 8793
NewsserverIPAddress = daphne.eagames.co.uk
NewsserverPort = 8797
ShogunTotalWarWebsite = www.totalwar.com

I'll also set up a site for information here.

i cant help myself

*Robots around the room for the next 30 seconds*

thnx m8, utter champion...

just try and promise us one thing....

if anything ever goes wrong please dont post any disturbing pictures of some poor guys genitalia over the bit where it says the server is down or up...

i think i need counselling over that image...

[ShinKamiizumi]

Cant seem to connect. Internet.cfg is set per the above. Perhaps too busy? I hope so.

[ShinKamiizumi]

Got on for awhile...but alas no one there. I'll try back on SOS.

[Trajanus]

pure legend!

thanks for your efforts mate.

No worries. I've seen it, too and don't approve of it.
The funny thing is, since I made this announcement, the server of Hewhogotbanned is up again.
Well, I don't need/want any competition. I will keep the server running and the community can decide what to do.
Personally I would find it very sad if this incident would mean the end of an era.
I'll do my share to keep MP alive.

Hiya ShinKamiizumi-san . It's been a long time--nice to see you here.

Nice response to the community need, R'as .

Hi i'm not sure where to ask this question but here seems close enough.
I've got Gold edition and when I go to play multiplayer I have three inadequate options play on LAN, go to shogun website, and connect to internet with dialup. No play EA / Play. Just a gap where that should be.
I can change the config file but this is to no avail without the EA/PLAY option.

Any ideas??

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I believe they cut it out of the gold edition because they are no longer offering it officially.

Might be possible to mod it back in? I don't know.

[Drisos]

Might be possible to mod it back in? I don't know.

I certainly hope so... Why did they remove it anyway? to let people have less fun, so they won't buy the game?

[R'as al Ghul]

We'll take care of it.

Yay, got it to work so far. I got a dumb question. Where I get the 1.02 patch at? (I'm using Gold Edtion)

[Baryonyx89]

Um...That's kinda what i need to know. Where's the notepad??

[R'as al Ghul]

Baron,

try "Start" -> "Run" -> type in "notepad".
It's probably also under Start-menu/Programs/accessory (not sure, translating from German).

R'as

[Baryonyx89]

I tried the start/run/notepad but all it did was bring up a blank, white box

[Baryonyx89]

Wait nvm. The programs, accessories instruction worked. So how do i edit the internet.cfg thing?

[R'as al Ghul]

Let's try something different.
Go to the main folder of Shogun and find the internet.cfg file.
Right click on it and select "Open with" and select notepad. If notepad is not listed in that menu you can find it with "browse" -> navigate to C:\Windows\notepad.exe.

The internet.cfg file should then open with notepad.

If all else fails just download this file: http://www.mizus.com/Ras/Shogun/Internet.cfg
and put it into your main Shogun folder, overwriting the old one.

R'as

[Baryonyx89]

Is the main shogun folder in my computer?

[R'as al Ghul]

Yes.
When you've the game installed there's a Shogun folder somewhere on your computer. You'd have to know where since you installed it. The default path is sth like "C:\Programs\Shogun - Total War\.
That's the folder I mean when I say main Shogun folder.
Try using the Windows Explorer to make yourself familiar with the folder structure on your computer.

R'as

[Baryonyx89]

So I have to type the exact name of the folder which i installed on windows explorer?

Btw the name of my folder is the one the computer gives to u (warlord edition, not regular)

[Baryonyx89]

Ok I think I found the main folder.....but I don't see an internet.cfg file anywhere. The only folders are battles, sounds, voices, etc.

[Togakure]

Hi Baryonyx89, and welcome. The internet.cfg is a file, not a folder. The folders you've described suggest you are in the right place. Now look for the file internet.cfg in the same area where these folders are, and make the edits R'as has described by opening this file with Notepad.

[Baryonyx89]

I figured it out . I typed in "internet.cfg" over the name of my main shogun folder. Then the file was located for me. Thanks for the help Ra and Masamune!!!

P.S. Why don't i see anyone online right now?

[Togakure]

You're most welcome. Unfortunately, very few players play on the STW fakeserver anymore. There are a handful who would, I believe, but we have trouble getting in. There is a strange problem that affects some of us, where we try to log in and it just hangs up at "Logging in ...." I've never been able to get past this problem on my current computer. Otherwise, I'd be happy to join you for some games.

As R'as mentioned, the best thing to do is make arrangements to meet players at a specific day and time by posting in the thread that's been created for that purpose, here. Post your interest, and hopefully someone who can access the fakeserver will be along who can join you for some games soon. Good luck.

[Baryonyx89]

I had that same problem too, and i figured out how to overcome it....just click "use current internet connection".

[Togakure]

Unfortunately that doesn't work for me and many of the others
