How to host shogun MP Games.

[Shambles]

Shogun MP Game Hosting.

Ok 1st things 1st
We need to get you on to fakeserver.

I host one, And so does tosa,
Now there are a couple of ways to get yourself on to the fake server,
i will tell you the 1 that needs least amount of editing on your part 1st,

you can Download Shamblestw.exe
http://shoguntw.2ya.com/ShamblesTW.exe
that will allow you to switch between servers, with relitive ease.

If you cant run BAT files please install
Libary files
http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/libraryfiles.exe
I previously added a link to this file that was then replaced with a virus,
But this 1's good


Now most people that are left in the MP shogun community use Warlord edition v1.02

so you probably need to download the official v1.02 patch

This is WE v1.02 UK/US
http://download.activision.com/activ...v1.02_Euro.exe

This is JAPANESE v1.02 Gold edition
http://download.activision.com/activ...Gv1.02_Jap.exe

This is asian v1.02 WE
http://download.activision.com/activ...v1.02_Asia.exe

For other updates visit

Then u can also download Toga's Stats swapper,
So you can switch between game versions
I.e Back to v1.0
This will only work with v1.02
http://snow.prohosting.com/tdrabags/Statswapper.exe


An Alternative way of connecting to fake server is you can edit your internet.cfg file, (so no need to download shamblesTW.exe)

so edit the text in the internet.cfg file located in your shogun game folder
like so

For tosa's server

ChatserverIPAddress	= 212.238.194.39
ChatserverPort 		= 8793
NewsserverIPAddress 	= daphne.eagames.co.uk
NewsserverPort 		= 8797
ShogunTotalWarWebsite 	= www.totalwar.com

or for mine

ChatserverIPAddress	= ShogunTW.no-ip.info
ChatserverPort 		= 8793
NewsserverIPAddress 	= daphne.eagames.co.uk
NewsserverPort 		= 8797
ShogunTotalWarWebsite 	= www.totalwar.com

Then when your In the game
Hit multiplayer
then tick use existing Internet connection

next simply click on Play on EaPlay

It will attempt to connect,
it may take several attempts but will eventualy connect.

Then you are on The fakeserver and able to play multiplayer games and join other peoples hosted games !!!!
