Gah, my identity is revealed.

[Shaka_Khan]

I'm in the foyer now!

[Drisos]

gah! so many players in the foyer I haven't played with.. my Katana is rusty but still strong - waiting to be used again...



lol seriously... I really miss the game and the people around. It's so frustrating I can't play now - now there's so many people around (even a 4v4 played).

I would give lots to get back. main thing I need to give is time, and find out how to fix the logging in problem.

i'd almost say 'hang on', I'll be there in a sec.. lol :)

[Just A Girl]

if your really really desperate..

you could get an external hard drive.
And a copy of windows 98.

You could install windows 98 on to the external hard drive. (that would be fat32)

that would mean you have windows xp and all the progs that every 1 uses on the computer.
but when you boot up you could chose to boot up with windows 98. when you want to play shogun.

it would mean installing a few things on the windows 98 os, so you could get online.
but it should not be to difficult.

I usualy would not sudgest people buy an extra item of hardware just for a game.
But you seem to be having a lot of difficulty.
And wish to come play.

And i think that this way is the way which is most likley to work.

[Drisos]

I'm first going to try what R'as proposed, I think. This will be next in line to try if I still can't login by that time.

A question on this, would it be needed to have the HD lying around here somewhere close to the comp all the time or could I be able to just 'plug in'?

[Just A Girl]

external hard drives are usualy plug and play.
"usb"
and you usualy plug it in. and its there as a hard drive..

There are 2 ways windows can see these drives though.

1 is as a removable device.
(Probably would not let you boot up from a removable device, but CD's are removable and can be used to boot up your pc. so maby it would let you)

and the other is as a physical drive.

if its installed as a removable device, the hard disk will be truley plug and play.
with you being able to dissconnect it when ever you like.

if you install it so its detected as an actual physical drive.
you will haft to use the safley remove hardware function in windows xp to remove it.

In all honesty.
i dont know how well external hard disks cope with being the system's OS drive..

back in the days of windows 95..
I would have said there is no way you can install 95 on to an external drive and expect it to work,
due to usb drivers needing to be loaded by windows before the hard disk can be used by the pc.
Back then it would have been difficult if not near impossible to do.

I imagin that these short comings have been addressed by now.
But i cannot guarantee it..
So it would be a good idea to ask other people if its possible to boot up from an external (usb) hard disk.

Personally i would be Very dissapointed if they havent made it possible.

Any way..

Good luck.

[Shaka_Khan]

I'm here.

edit- I can't log on.

[Drisos]

I'm here.

edit- I can't log on.

Can't connect?

You can check at shambles site to see if the server is offline - www.shoguntw.2ya.com

[Puzz3D]

The website says the server is up, but I can't connect. The server gives no response to ping.

[Just A Girl]

My bad..
i forgot to check server..
its up now

[Puzz3D]

Yes. I can get online now, but no one is there and I have to go into work now anyway, so I'll try tomorrow. Looks like it doesn't respond to ping, so that's not a way to determine if it's up.

[Drisos]

Hey Puzz,

Good to hear you are intrested!

People used to drop about 1-2 hours later then this post of mine.

[Shaka_Khan]

I'm here at the moment.
