Stw Mp

[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.

[HunkinElvis]

I read this thread and found out that I don't need to register. All I have to do is wait for the server to work so that I can download files. I hope I can see you people on Sunday.

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

Thanks Jochi.
Here I go.

When you're done with single-player, you can try out the new multi-player server:

I have troubles connecting to my friend in a multiplayer game. We can both connect to the chatroom, but when one of us hosts, the other cant see.
Can anyone help?

[Shambles]

Please tell us how your connecting to the game?
and what game versions and or mods do you both have,

[Arodrake]

My friend is using warlord editon v1.00 and im using the original STW V1.12.

We connected by changing the "Internet.cfg" file.

[Shambles]

You both need the same game version,

I.e V1.00 or whatever,

I Think you can use those games,
But maby you both need Warlord edition,
"I dont think so but im not shure"
But start by finding the same Version number

like v1.02

[Arodrake]

mm... I have version 1.12, Do i have to reinstall again? Or is there a Version 1.02 patch somewhere?

[Shambles]

you can download statsswaper

from download section.
I will get u a link "keep refreshing this page"

http://snow.prohosting.com/tdrabags/Statswapper.exe

Should download faster from there (well start sooner)


And you can download a patch as well

Hope that helps


This was sposed to be a edit. Ended up posting twice any way.

[Arodrake]

mm... the statswapper works but still, I cant join or see my friend hosting.

[Blizzer]

The problem is that when we host the game doesnt appear at the top of the screen. We are both using Version 1.02, is it something we are doing wrong?
Btw our internet.cfg files are correct. So far we have been trying to play online for ages and it never appears whatever we do! any suggestions? Maybe its nt able to host at the moment?

P.S. and when you refer to tidas's server are you talking about his fakeserver or hs game server he hosts.

[Shambles]

some 1 has to host Fakeserv,
" i beleve tosa hosts a fakeserver and i do as well"
Essentialy pretending to be EA's old server.
You connect to them,

I dont know if You can play Shogun vs Shogun WE.
Maby that is your problem,
You may want to ask in the apocethary, "i dont know properly what its called"

[Shambles]

If you like i can come on the server I am using v1.02 Warlord edition.

So see if you can see the game I host

Please let me know

[Togakure]

This is a classic problem and happened all the time on the old official server as well.

The server, whether it was the old official one or a Fakeserver, must be able to "see" the IP of the person wanting to host. If you are running a firewall on your PC, or there is a firewall in place somewhere between you and the server, you will see the game when you attempt to host, but no one else will.

In the past people that could would shut down their firewalls when they wanted to host. Either that or have someone else host. I imagine if you know how to configure your firewall port management you can get around the problem, but I haven't read of many who were successful in doing this.

Try shutting down your firewall and then hosting a game. My guess is, unless there is another firewall between you and your gaming m8, he will be able to see your game when you do.

[Blizzer]

No we closed our firewalls and tried we must have wasted a good couple of hours trying to sort it out im coming online now tho.

[Blizzer]

just wanted to add im hosting a game now so can any of you come online to see if you can see it?

[Shambles]

Hey blizzer Il come see whats wrong if you like,

Il be here for a while now so reply when you can so i know whats happening

[Togakure]

I just logged in to the fakeserver to see if by chance anyone was there. No one home at the moment. I'll stay logged in for a while to see if anyone happens by. If anyone is looking for a few games, I'm on the fakeserver now (marked as Away From Keyboard, AFK, but I'll be checking periodically to see if anyone's there).

[Shambles]

Ive had to give up on tosas fake server,
For some reason its tryes to conect a few times,

then the usual loging on stuff,
So i try again
And then it says Failed to connect,

usualy it would just say Loging on.
and then id kep trying untill it eventualy says
Loged in

But last few times It just Decided to say Cannot conect,

So Im just gonna be using my server from now on,

Oh and Blizer,
You need to delete some of ya private messages,
i cant send you any pm's to confirm anything you asked me.
becous you have no space

[Togakure]

My friend Kas is having the same problems, and it's really bumming us out :(.

I'm able to connect. When Kas tries, I see a blank name appear in the roster with 0 honor, while he just sees a "Logging on ..." message. When he tries multiple times, I see multiple blank names, which persist in the foyer long after he stops trying. Obviously he is connecting, but his PC seems not to be transmitting required info to the fakeserver to actually make it into the foyer. Finally, if I log out right after and try to get back in, it doesn't recognize my name and won't let me connect! Very strange stuff. When I change my name and family surname, then I can get in again.

Blizzer made it in and we managed to finally get a game going after several tries. It was lagging badly, but we both had music on which is not good. He said he might be able to try again later tonight. I have a slow connection, but I've hosted successfully before with minimal lag on Tosa's server many times before so ... don't know what was up with that.

Blizzer's friend has a router and couldn't see the hosted games. My guess is the router is blocking a needed port.

Man, I wish we could resolve these issues as I'm really wanting some games. Would be fun to get some new folks up to speed on MP so we can have some good 2v2s etc. Guess we'll just have to keep trying.

Shambles, if you send me a copy of your Internet.cfg file for your server via e-mail, I can try to access your server for some games too. My e-mail is funkymonk002@hotmail.com.

[Shambles]

You can download em from
dflw.2ya.com
in the downloads section

But il send

[Togakure]

I think I'm in your foyer now. Join me.

[Arodrake]

Okay... I think I managed to open the port but im not so sure if it is working though because I need someone to test it. :/

[Togakure]

LOL! I'm in Shambles pad at the moment, but I'll run over to Tosa's real quick to help you. Shambles is installing the 1.02 patch anyway so hopefully he won't miss me. If he does, he'll likely look here so he'll know what's up.

Shambles, I'll be back to yours, maybe with some m8s, as soon as I help Arodrake test. Back in a bit ... .
