Guys, the MP with HAMACHI doesnt work or what? I wait every day on the servers EB00 and EB01. I saw there only one man but I was not able to play! What can I do to play with you??? Help me please!!! Dont let me bother about Rome Total War multiplayer, that is terrible!!! I want to play online EB!!!
Pius have read the last two pages of this thread????????? :inquisitive:
Ok well, I just hit the forums like 2-3 days ago- and noticed this section. I've done everything I was told to (I think). EBv1.0 is what I am running- have Hamachi and X-Fire installed.
X-Fire Name: Deadhuntr
MP Name: Deadhuntr
I dont understand? The EB 1.0 MP doesnt function or what? Is here anybody who played with anybody else in last days?
EB MP ain't working.Quote:

needless to say Pius I am mad as a mofo about MP not working. Just as u and a bunch of other people are. We have been :wall: since EB 1.0 came out.
which will never happen, cause we have not changed anything regarding mp ( we simply can't, it's hardcoded! )Quote:

how come it worked in 0.8 :no: ?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't the problem the various fixes everyone has installed after v1.0 came out? You have to have the exact same files and the same map.rwm
(p.s. Sometimes you can play in multiplayer even if a file is different, but that gives a unsynchronized error message during the game, and you end up having a completely different game on your end that what everyone else has. But that is irrelevant)
I tried MP the DAY after EB 1.0 came out. Me and Madmatg spend 3 hours getting it to work and nothing.
In the following weeks mad, and many other EB MP players tried to get it to work. Sending files to eachother and whatnot. I also tried again later with madmatg with some new files, and nothing.
To this day, I have yet to hear of anybody playing MP succesfully. :shame:
I need not play EB MP anymore...I am just packing a few of my private things into plastic bags and going into nice and cosy madhouse:2thumbsup: ...I just got crazy already, bacause I am not able to play EB online:( I am sorry guys...:help: as soon as possible:wall:

Been away from EB multiplayer for a while.(Being hammering away at my 1.0 Romani campaign) If you really want to play online why don't you just install the previous version of EB and continue playing as before?
Search me out! x-fire TarquiniusSuperbus. (I've seen the elephant, let me know if you've seen it too!)
anyone can playe the 1.0 in mp? I searched the 0.8 version but the only link that i found have a corrupted file (planetmirror) anyone know how to make 1.0 work or where i can find the old versions?
wish I knewQuote:

Perhaps in a future version of EB, a separate option in the installer could be to install a separate "vanilla" EB for multiplayer. This need not take up much room, as it would be a light version for multiplayer only, perhaps? A different shortcut would then be created. This would work independently from SP EB which is patched, etc.
since there is no sign of 1.1 (which some even presumed we'll be out by Christmas:sweatdrop: ) and even if it is released we unfortunately dont know if MP works, i suggest you my fellow MP junkies get RTR TIC's patch. it has just been released and supposedly (havent tried yet) allows MP games.
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...48#post2797448
let me know if any takers. i may get some time to play over the weekend.
EB units or RTR units?
EB 1.0 doesn't come with a map.rwm as far as I can tell. Did anyone try passing around one of those?
Scundoo, I asked your question in another forum and
Bovi said this:
"If you want to play MP with him, give him yours [map.rwm]. They need to be identical, as do all the rest of your files. Use the installation validation tool to check that you have identical installations (the output should be identical)."
Can anyone explain to me what Bovi is refering too??? I don't know where to find the map.rwm thing, nor do I know what the "Installation Validation Tool" is or where to find it.
If any of you fellas knows how to do this shit, PLZ post up how to and hopefully we can set a time to transfer file via X-fire or Skype and test MP. Its been too long and from what I am getting the EB team might not even release an EB 1.1, let alone fixing MP :wall:
firstly, the map.rwm is located in EB\Data\world\maps\baseQuote:

This is what i found about installation validation http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=129987
hope that helps!
thank u :2thumbsup:
So can we get this problem fixed now? My urge to crush you all is starting to consume me wholesale! ARRRGGGHHHH!
Also, when I click on 'Online Battles' it just crashes, is that a problem anyone else has?
You sure that you have entered the correct CD Key? I just tested my 1.0 build and i was able to join the online lobby.Quote:

you're kidding, aren't you? It is explained in the first post of this thread, that everyony needs to have the same map.rwm, and where to find it!Quote:

But unfortunatly :wall: all I can do is rely on other people, and poke and whinne about MP not working. :shame: to the point where I become obnoxious.
I take your challenge I will be on the PC tonight at 9:30pm Eastern Standard Time

g**d*** it! I was planning on clubbing this saturday.... or maybe I should save the $$ (got credit cards I wanna pay off)... F***K I need a girlfriend those are cheap!
tomorrow, tomorrow..... tomorrow..... let me see
1-working till 7:30pm
2-got a bunch of research and s**t to do....
3-wanna play EB MP
4-wanna go out
5-wanna save $$ to pay off credit cards
....:wall: :wall: :wall:
Ok F* it! I need $, and I got research to do.
I'll do research from after work till 1:00pm nap till 2:15pm. Wake up and fix MP with Bonny. Then work again the next day.
make up for not going out by meeting more new girls at the Univ. on Monday ~:pimp:
Ok that sounds like a plan!
lets do it mofo, lets do it! :yes:
-----------
why have I not installed the RTR.... well 2 reasons
1- Die hard, Loyal to EB. Anything less than EB doesn't cut it. (Hell I don't even like to make upgrades to units in MP game because that messes up the stats. :skull: )
2- Don't feel like downloading another game, taking up memory, and whatnot.
HOWEVER if me and Bonny can't get it to work then I'll have no other option.
well X-fire stopped working 2minutes ago and doesn't want to connect. Bonny didn't show up. its 2:57am I am going to sleep.
Neospartan, i got some time on my hands the next couple of days, if your interested we could try and see if we can get it to work, my x-fire name is ombudsman36. Just tell me what time and i´ll see if i can be online then.
Guild name: We shall fwee...Wodewick
Xfire name: Kievthegreat
Times: 8pm-midnight normally, but available anytime over this holiday.
I still can't get my CD-Key to work, I have 2 (I bought the activision and sega versions) and neither of them work.It doesn't crash but it just froze when I click on online battles. I heard that there is some kind of problem with the cd-key. I try to enter it in the regedit but I can't find any link with regard to cd-key's in the regedit. Please Help!
I use a virtual lan on hamachi,no lag, gamespy and cd-key errors, my networks are : rome network, pass: moschetto
If it's full:ntw2 network,pass: moschetto
I really want to make Eb work :no:
well this week is not looking too good for me. I got a test on Monday and a couple of papers to write.
btw...uriel 1987, check the 1st page of this thread for the existing Hamachi networks. Lets use those, so everyone is on the same page.
Are you using any Firewall software? Maybe its blocking connection (or actually waiting for you to make choice if you want to allow connection).Quote:
It doesn't crash but it just froze when I click on online battles.
Nice one mate, it was the firewall, I had to add EB to the firewall list manually though. But thanks for the help! I'm ready to accept any challenges. I'm GMT time. That's right, good ol' blighty, remember colour not color lol!Quote:

Does anyone think that the versions are incompatible because of different map.rwm's? I ran the validation tool and I didn't get any errors or files missing so i'm assuming that this is the problem?
All the networks are full :no:Quote:

Hi - great work - couple of questions about it.
Does this allow multi-player campaigns or only multi-player battles?
And if it allows multi-player campaigns are they hot seat or can you play them multiplayer by internet or LAN?
the plan is to try to get EB MP for 1.0 working. Me and Bonny were going to try but apparantly something happen to him and he could not make it.
When I have some free time (a good 3hrs) I'll get in touch with ombudsman and see what we can do. I am NOT good at all with PCs so.... don't get ur hopes up. :no:
i tried Hamachi last night and all these steps seemed to become unnecessary.Quote:
10.Next, "disable your primary network", this means disconect your internet, Important, do not leave the hamachi network, just leave hamachi alone.
11.Start up EB and go to multiplayer and then LAN.
12.Press Alt+Tab to mimimize Rome.
13."Renable your primary network", ie. reconect your internet.
14.Press Alt+Tab again to open up Rome. You should now be in the LAN lobby and able to see any players and games that are there.
just join the network and go to LAN games. easy as that.
i strongly recommend you all go (when MP is playable) for Hamachi. GS sucks big time, very unstable.
EDIT: just to clarify, it wasnt EB so dont think i managed to play it lol
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nononononononononononononnononono
I ALWAYS had to do that to play EB. MP back in .81x
Since u didn't get to play MP stick to what Pharnakes (sp) said.:yes:
what? how would i know if i didnt play?Quote:

why cann't you lot play EB online I've got it working before
only reason I didn't really get into it was because I got a load of exams but the more or less over now so if you up for getting MP working I'll help
also will EB 1.1 be trying to make MP balanced?
EB is "Balanced" in historical terms.
yeah sorrry I meant the units that the factions have and cost of troops
wouldn't change the units stats as it's historical correct as far as we know
well cost values and unit nubmers also have historical considerations taken by the EB team. Those #'s are not there for no reason.
for example:
Polybian/Camilian Romani are super cheap, and dang good units (especially Polybian). This is because Republican Rome had a large population and citizens were REQUIRED to do military service. Plus the organized administration, and updated census data sure as hell helped in finding were eligible men were and who they were.
Another more complicated reason goes behind the cost of Gallic elite Units. Very expensive and few in number (60men) due to the time it took for those soldier to gain the expirience and $$ to be in that position (there was no formal training, central administration, etc), and the fact that only the class of warriors did the fighting (most of the time).
So yeah..... I know its a pain, and I know becaue I like to play with Gauls most of the time so I am always short of units in MP. But those numbers are fine. (for the most part, there may be an thingy that slipped here and there)
btw neospartan, if you have time anytime soon i would love to try and see if mp works.
ok ok I think I said something wrong there sorry it just if everthing kept the same one faction will over raw the rest but I'm all for historical play as long as there's no tornaments for it
I'll post here as soon as I know I have another 3hrs to f* around with. Right now I am typing from my Uni's Library taking a break from my reading :book:Quote:

Ok fellas....
I will be extremely busy in the comming week. I have an exam on Tuesday, a small paper due on Monday. :book:
Next week maybe i came make a whole in for some time. But I don't know what may come up. :skull:

I will join u guys sometime next week if all goes well.
...and when I do you will FEAR GAUL!!!!! :thrasher:
We should set-up a tourney! first prize.....You will be worshipped as a god for one day! LOL
lol yeah but it's not balanced so tornament not really going to work to well
i create another network Eb04 all are welcome :yes: passworld: EB
i one think that eb is the most balanced game,so a toruney should go nicely:2thumbsup:
if we are thinking of a tourney i know the perfect place and i could organize it,have experience in tourney organization:yes:
I have three solutions to unbalanced armies.
1 Tell anyone who moans about unbalanced armies to $£%" off.
2 A diadochi only tourney?
3 A set army for each faction. I know that there is problems with ths one but so long as they are reasonable balanced. If you lose a battle you won't actually die
or be disgraced amoun you fellow citizens.
Feel free to pick my three solutions to pieces. I will resent you if you do though.
Gebeleisis, please let us know what ideas you have.
well number 1 were do I start :P
only joking it's impossible for someone not to moan try it on RTR
someone will find one army that won't rout and then no one can beat it game over
To hell with it! I want a tourney no matter the cost!
Anyway, if anyone is concerned about unbalanced armies it's simple, don't enter the tourney.
yep that sounds about right. :yes:Quote:

Anywho I think tournies are OK, but each player gets 3 tries before loosing.
HOWEVER, I think we have an issue... I don't think we have enough people (YET!) for a big and fancy tournament. In the meantime we can do small nightly tournament-games were we publish the results of the nights battles.
ex:
1v1
XYZ vs ABC
2:1
(pics)
2v2
XYZ+ABC vs BBC+CNN
2:2
(pics)
well ok guys:
i got a new site set up only for TW games mods and tourneys ,and i one support mods and especially EB and WotD
a mod tourney could help both EB to become even more spectacular and loved.
I was organizer and mod of many sucesfull medieval II tourneys so i have experience in this.
I could offer the site for the tourney and can give even prices!(real ones)
If the EB team will be happy with this i would love to host their mod on my site and i would wish their tounrey to be hold there:2thumbsup:
what i need is to know what rules shall we use,so lets get some games first :2thumbsup:
I would like to add EB's armies are NOT unbalanced in the true sence of the word.
Each faction, due to large numbers of units each faction has available (not counting mercenary), regional troops found in each faction's area of location, and the historical research that dictated each units stats and cost, causes 2 things to occur:
1- The army make up a player can choose, thus the tactics he developes, and the effectives of that army will vary tremendously. Making the player play several battles before he can find an army make up that is capable of kick butt. (such as I did with the Aedui, such as Madmatg made with the Polybian Romani and KH)
2- Since $$ dictates the number and types of units a player can choose, and since the types, cost, and stats of units vary, the "power" of the players army for a given faction will vary depending on the amount of $$. In otherwords, for Faction X, an army selected with a budget of 15k, will be very weak compared to other factions. However, with a budget of 30k the army the player can make with X faction is very strong compared with the other factions.
ex: Polybian Romani with $15k budget are pretty strong, compared to AS. With $30k they are about the same. BUT with $50k the Polybian Romany's army is now weak compared to AS army. This is because AS player can now select cataphract, Hetaroi, Pezetaroi, and silver shields units in greater amounts.
Again.. the player will need to play several games before he can find an army and tactics best suited for a faction and amount of budget alocated.
Therefore, straight up tournaments are NOT that simple due to the complexities of EB.
BTW.... mercenaries add a whole 'nother dimension. Which I won't get into.
