E.B. multiplayer (official)

[Elthore]

I second the use of BattleLAN, if thats what you're referring to. Its just a simple box to enter IPs into, and as long as everyone enters in the others' IPs we should be LANed within RTW.

[EasternScourge]

I have to mention that I won't be avaible.Lightning struck our house,and internet messed up.Its partly fixed,but its not working on my computer.So no MP for me.Also,I also agree to that BattleLAN thing.Hamachi just seems like a bit to much work.

[Sarkiss]

I would like to suggest a better method than using hamachi. Much more simple to use battlenet. Once people get in touch with each other they just add each others ip-adresses to the battlenetlist and play. And you dont even have to disconnect your internet.
Contact me on juvenilz@hotmail.com or simply reply here

could you please post some more info here for all the folks to see about the method mentioned.

[madmatg]

one suggestion, as for the network name on hamachi i will be opening another network called EBmultiplayer1, and EBmultiplayer2. so that we will have a few more spots

[Beanjitsu]

Xfire=beanjitsu

good to see you buddy. unfortunately my copy of EB is so heavily edited (fixed some minor flaws etc) that i wont get a similar data with any one. should have kept a separate copy for MP though i still can if folks are still active in here.

[madmatg]

im still active if your up for a game, or if anyone is up for a game i'll be available to play fairly often, i am on CST (i think -6 GMT) but i can really be around anytime on tues or thursday's except 12-2, and MWF after 6pm til about 2am. so if anyone wants a go send me a pm or better yet friend me on xfire and write me a message saying when you wanna play, im dying to learn how to play against real people lol.

[NeoSpartan]

HOLLY S**********!

I am hooked, I am hooked!!!!!!!!!!!!

I gotta fight somebody at least once a day now.

I have lost interest in SP (due in part to a CTD ruinning my AS campain, and I don't feel like continuing my KH, or Romani campain any time soon).

[Lovejoy]

Do you still play with hamachi? It didnt work on my comp.

So if not.. anyone wanna play a MP-battle tonight?

EDIT: Beanjitsu! And Conan! Are you guys stil alive? :P Long time since! Remember me? ;P Sarkiss, Conan, Bean... soon all the RTR-vets will be here. :)

hi there, buddy.
i recently played quite a few EB MP games on GS and it was surprisingly stable.

[NeoSpartan]

Well my PC doesn't like Game Spy, I just can't connect to a hosted game nor can people connect to my hosted games.

So I gotta roll with Hamachi, which is OK.

I am usually up at 12:00am EST. (so is madmatg and Gaius)

[TWFanatic]

This looks fun. I'm getting tired of the bland old vanilla RTW multi-player.

x-fire: totalwarfanatic
Question: Why do we need xfire?

I'm usually on sometime between 3 and 7 EST, which is between 7 and 11 GMT atm. I'd love to play right now...

[TWFanatic]

I was surprised by the inactivity. EB MP is like having a supermodel girlfriend who likes sports and hates shopping. You'd think people would drool over such a wonderful combination.

Free balloons to those who join me.

[mAIOR]

p.s I have exams this week so I might not be on as ofter as I usually am

[mAIOR]

I was talking to TWFanatic... you just posted immediatly before me :)
But, you'll choke too... Everyone will die MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

[TWFanatic]

Lol, I can't wait. Glad to see the enthusiasm.

[Emperor Burakuku]

The Hamachi network's allways full. Just made a new network called "BurakukuTW" and the pass is "EB" if anyone's interested. I think it would be a good ideea to make a second official network like "EBmultiplayerII" since this one's full all the time if there's a possibility for that. Or maybe is just my connection?

ok so NeoSpartan, TWFanatic and i have been playin a good deal lately
and have come up with some "fixes" for multiplayer

A. we are messing with sling stats to bring them down some as they seem a bit unbalanced for MP as everyone normally wants as many as possible because of their strength against armor

so for now we have taken 1 attack point from each slinger(we weakened accensi by subtracting 1 from each of their mount effects, as they are aready at 1 attack)

B. The soldurus have had their spears taken away, becasue of the dreaded switch to secondary weapon bug(which makes them little used in MP), so they have been switched solely to swords, they still get the cav bonus like they have a spear so the animation looks off but the effect should stay the same.
On the topic of spears we also took out all the short spear attributes, as they were causing spearmen to suck in close combat

C. The galatian wild men have had their cost moved to the same price as the gaestaste(sp) of europe.

hope these rules dont keep too many people out. if you play MP somewhat often you can definitely have a say in how this works so dont be afraid if you dont like something we will be changing alot, probly until EB 1.0 comes out.

heres the link to the file: this file goes into Rome - Total War/EB/Data


You must have a fresh version of EB to do this with or it will not be compatible.

[Emperor Burakuku]

Mine still doesn't work. I use all the steps and when I reconnect everyone in the lan chat room seems to see what I say but I don't see anything they say. It's kinda strange and frustrating. Can't figure it out. Reinstalled Hamachi, changed firewall settings in any way possible, changed my nick (which seemed stupid). I still think that it's a firewall problem but the 1st time it worked. Also it could be some Network Places option... I am very confused and frustrated. I will reinstal the game, then hamachi version 1.5 and try again. If still doesn't work... I will try 'till it will. "If I don't find a wat I will make one".

Madtag, if you're interested, me and Pharnakes have made some extensive changes to the EDU. If you want them I can send them together with the change logs.
