Stw Mp

[TosaInu]

Hello,

It appears that both STW titles can no longer be played on the official server. It's possible to host an alternative one, I received a few PM's about this. Who's interested in playing STW MP?

[PaolinoPaperino]

Count me between the interested.

[Medieval Assassin]

I would, if I could figure out the whole register thing, Im so lame...

[Chimpyang]

I'll still play, just give me time to be on...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

ShinIguana is interested.

I'd play too, but I left my CD at home

[TosaInu]

I would, if I could figure out the whole register thing, Im so lame...

The official MP register thing is likely down as well. Alternatives will be provided. What you need to do is copy one textfile to the gamedirectory.

I'll still play, just give me time to be on...

Agree, it's probably not a very large group, so it's best to schedule one or more times. It's of little use to wait for 3 hours in an empty foyer. It's better when someone's around to reboot it if necessary.

Perhaps we should host some kind of tourney?

[Puzz3D]

I'm interested in playing original STW v1.12 or WE/MI v1.03 or v1.05. I'm not interested in playing v1.02. There is also the STW mod for MTW if the stats would get fixed.

[PaolinoPaperino]

"Perhaps we should host some kind of tourney?"

pls, no. Just games for fun. If there will be a tourney, the "foyer" will be split in 2 groups, who is playing the tourney, and who does not.

About the version to play with, I have no problem to try something that is not the 1.02, just decide if Shogun or WE.
Can be organised to have the server running only during the weekend?

[TosaInu]

Hello,

The STW server is running now. It will remain online for at least 12 hours from now. Arrange battles with your friends and have fun. PM me or post here when the server has problems.

[Chimpyang]

Can yougive me an idiotproof walkthrough on how to get on it?

[Tsugumo Hanshiro]

Greetings, i've been lurking this forum and played Shoggy single for a long time now but I just now thought, heck, why not try it out online? The AI doesn't really give me much of a challenge anymore so i'll probably be joining you guys next time the server goes up.

Looking forward to getting a good whopping! ;)

Ishida Hiraga, Anskar Hojo, and I will attempt to access the fakeserver tomorrow and perhaps on Sunday. I have not yet replaced my Internet.cfg file, but it seems a simple task.

I've spoken to others who have made the changes and attempted to log in to the fakeserver. They hang at "Logging In ... ." I'll be in a better position to help them once I've successfully accessed the fakeserver myself, but I've suggested that they tune in here. Hopefully folks will be as helpful as they've ever been.

I have a slow connection but can host 1v1 and 2v2. Anskar has a nice connection and can host 3v3s, and perhaps, 4v4s for players with fast connections. He is, however, experiencing the log in problem, so hopefully we can resolve that tomorrow.

I/we look forward to some fun games. Thanks to Tosa for making it possible to play again.

Edit: I will try to access around 11 a.m.-12 p.m. PST, which is 7-8 p.m. GMT I believe. Ansk and Ishi indicated they will try at about the same time. If we have problems we'll tap in to this thread. We are also on MSN Messenger; my addy is funkymonk002@hotmail.com.

[Togakure]

Hiya. Ishi, Ansk, Gaijin and I are all on MSN. We tried to connect to the fakeserver but after about 60 seconds of "Connecting ..." we get "Failed to connect." My guess is the fakeserver is not running yet. So, I'm posting to let everyone who is interested know that there are people ready and willing to play some STW/MI MP if the fakeserver is brought up. I will monitor this thread until I hear from someone (or until such time passes that we give up and find something else to do). Hopefully we'll hear from someone soon and get some games going. A good time to come and kick my arse--I haven't touched the game since May and I'm sure I suck pretty bad . Anyway, hope to hear from someone soon.

I'm funkymonk002@hotmail.com on MSN Messenger. If you'd like to join Ishi, Ansk, Gaijin and me for a chat while we wait just add me and message me.

[Lonewarrior]

I would be interested to play MP again in Shogun, been 3 years since the last time, but first I must finish school in december.

Moshi Moshi...
Tosa's server is up ok..I was just there.. 23:30 gmt 29th oct.
What time we meating on sunday guys i am up for some fun.
maybe we can try some new mods !!
I see on the previous pages of this thread that some seem bored with 103..heh maybe i can help..
My mail attachment is not working at the mo
Dont Shoot me Yahoo
I think i gave Tosa a version a little while back that could be a little interesting..sorry Mongol guys your Mongol cav archers no longer have 60 ammo.. i think i gave them a little less in this mod hehe.
Version 106 or was it 105 Tosa ?? cant remember !

Toda's

[LittleGrizzly]

if your on about the mongol mod it was 1.05 (is included in the statswapper) if not then i haven't heard of it....

[Togakure]

105 is the stat that I and some others have used a bit for Mongol games in the past. Much fun! If I remember correctly, TosaInu mentioned that it was you--MizuToda--who developed that stat, back when I packaged it up with the installer.

I just checked the ammo. Mongol Light Cav have 28 ammo in 102, and 50 in 103 and 105.

Mongol Cav (both Light and Heavy) have 48 men in a unit in 102, and 60 men in a unit in 103 and 105.

Because Mongol Units are generally expensive, we found that playing at 7K favored the Japanese a bit. We bumped up koku in the Mongol games to 8K (sometimes more just for kicks). But that was just us. I'll be curious to see what others think when they try it.

[Jochi Khan]

Hi Toda...

I think you refer to version 1.06.

I remember you sending it to me a few months ago.

The 1.05 Mongol we played way back in the good old days

I hope to be online about 20.00 or 21.00 tonight and tomorrow night.
(8pm or 9pm UK time) We'll be back on GMT tomorrow night (clocks go BACK ONE hour tonight)

Will look for you

Jochi

[HunkinElvis]

Hmm. I went to http://212.238.194.39/ and I got a "couldn't find the server or DNS error."

[HunkinElvis]

I'm not a computer expert. Where and what is the STW root directory? How do I configure the internet.cfg?

[HunkinElvis]

Got it. All I have to do is to download files from the server. Do I need to register? Do we log on the same way we did with EA? Do I need a name and a password? Sorry to bother you.

[Jochi Khan]

Root directory...
go..program files..totalwar..shogun tw.
This will show you the root dir.
In here you will see all the folders and files for the game.
Look for the Internet.cfg or Internet file.
Double click this file and change the...ChatserverIPAddress to
ChatserverIPAddress =212.238.194.39
and the ChatserverPort to ChatserverPort =8793.
It should ask you to save changes.

You don't need to register but you will need to create a player name.
No password necessary and log on in the usual way.

Sometimes it may take a few attempts to log on.

Good Luck

Jochi

[HunkinElvis]

Thanks Jochi.
Here I go.

Hello everyone who still plays Shogun. I am new to the game but both me and a friend are interested in playing online. How often is the server up?

Looking forward to playing.

[Kensai]

Hi all,
I've been playing Shogun since the very first executable (demo) but never been member of any TW community. Better late than ever so howdy all!

After playing so many SP campaigns and battles I find it almost natural to ask for MP as well, too bad the official lobby is down.

Luckily one guy from the official fora passed me this link and told me I can play here.

Is the server still up? Also, can you please post a simple howto to the official STW forum as well, some guys don't go there and viceversa.

Thanks,
Constantine.

PS. I hope we play v1.02 WI/ME cause it's IMO the best patch.
PPS. I would like to run a 'fakeserver' as well, if you tell me how I can set it for Wednesdays, I have a fairly good line DSL 2048/512 and nice rig.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Server should still be up, even on Wednsdays.

[Kensai]

Yes indeed, I was just in but no one was present... is this normal? I was expecting two-three guys by this hour.

Does it have to do with the fact I run v1.02? What is this unofficial v1.03?! Argh, I should read that thread...

[Kensai]

What do you guys run mostly on 'fakeserver'? v1.03 or v1.05?
(also where can I find v1.05 just in case)
