Logging on with Original STW, I seem to connect first time each time.
These are just tests that I have carried out.
Jochi
Well, it's been a while. School started and I'm on the computer again with Shogun Original... sigh
I need to order MI or WE... can anyone suggest which is better?
Also: I cannot simply cancel my login... I can type in a name, family name chosen, press "logon" but then it just displays a message (Something along the lines of "logging in") and freezes... until it pops up saying that it failed to log in. I'm using Shamble's server, and my settings (according to the copied and pasted suggestion earlier posted) are all in order...
They both do the same thing. MI is an add-on to STW while WE is STW + MI included in a single install.Quote:

Then either settings are either wrong.
Firewall stops Shogun connecting to the internet,
Or the server is down.
(or similar problem)
Your welcome to add me to msn or icq, If you would like some help.
The details are in my profile,
Also,
If you get MI, "may be best for you as you have STW already"
It may be a good idea To know that I have been able to Log on to the server Much easier when I Have it installed on a fat 32 drive,
Having said MI would probably be your best bet,
WE would probably be Much easier to find, and Then you would have 2 working copys of shogun,
Not 1 working copy and a Upgrade,
Hope it helps.
and did some 1 delete My post wher i said v1.12 Of shogun works on fake server ??
Wombatslayer: This site's administrator 'TosaInu' found a store where still are some copies of we... Pm him if you're intrested. You could send him 5 Euro's and he'll send you a cpoy~:)
Hehe, if only I lived in Europe.
I think I can manage on Amazon.com... I'll prolly get it later rou nd Christmas time.
In the meantime, I mess with the firewall...

And... settings... well, if those are the the IP address and all those sorts mentioned earlier, them I'm in good shape...

well if you're failing to connect try again some other time (server down) or check if your internet.cfg file is EXACTLY the same as shambles posted it here.(configuration not ok)
if you're having problems during 'logging on' you probably have windows XP.. many people with XP have that problem but most succeed to log in after a few attempts.. if you don't succeed.. go to the 'STW MP' forum here at the .org and read the 'FAKESERVER LOGIN 1st TIME!' thread. there people are figuring out how to fix the problem with XP.. but you could also try to play shogun on a comp with win98 if you have one.. ~:)
hope you'll solve it sometime
Well for my server the ip adress should be,
ShogunTW.no-ip.info
and the port should be.
8793.
So the importaint bits of internet.cfg should look like.
ChatserverIPAddress = ShogunTW.no-ip.info
ChatserverPort = 8793
NewsserverIPAddress = daphne.eagames.co.uk
NewsserverPort = 8797
Mk... I didn't have my IP correct. I knew the address didn't matter, but I didn't know I had to change it.
Maybe it'll work...
TUne in next time for our climatic results...
EDIT:
Okay so it finally gives me the "logging in" message, but then that's all. I cancelled it and retryed multiple times.
Hmmmmm....

I can log 2nd time every time, now that its installed on a fat32 hard drive,
It could also be to do with family name,
i seem to log in easy with AdmiN as my family name.
Others have difrent methods,
Try looking in the Fakeserver Login 1st time thread,
And hope to see you in the foyer some time.

:bow:
Edit,
Having browsed Previous staements It seems you are using the ORIGIONAL shogun.
The origional shogun Should not suffer from login failures,
I will Now leave a link to a internet.cfg file,
Please Save the file (scan for Virus) "becous you always should"
and then place it in your shogun directory,
To make shure you place the file in the right directory,
Right click the short cut you use to open Shogun,
Say Properties.
Then click Find target,
The directory that gets opend is where you would need to place the internet.cfg
http://freespace.virgin.net/shambles...s/Internet.cfg
You may need to right clcik and say save As.

I did that if that's waht I was supposed to do. I didn't have to save the link you gave me- I just copied and pasted and saved the file on wordpad.
Did I do anything wrong?
