Fools Lament II - Ended - Mictlan wins!!!

Ok. We are on Turn 2.

deccan - its far easier to create a desktop shortcut specifically to the game. then its just a quick click/doubleclick to check the status.

[Soapyfrog]

It's true: I won't remember to updated this thread every time we play a turn.

How do I make a shortcut point specifically to the game?

[Alneyan]

There is a file called command_line_switches.txt in your doc repertory. In order to make a shortcut for a game, create a shortcut of your Dominions exe, go to Properties => Shortcut, and select the Target field.

You should add the commands --ipadr [IP] --port [XXXX] after dom2.exe, with the IP of the server and the port of the game. For example, it could give the following for a Mosehansen game (Yarnspinners in my example):
C:\dominions2\dom2.exe --ipadr mosehansen.dk --port 2292

Hope it helps!

Make a copy of the Dom 2 shortcut, click on properties and change target to:

C:\games\dominions2\dom2.exe --tcpclient --ipadr soapyfrog.no-ip.info --port 2345 --nonationsel

That's in windows and your dom2.exe directory might be different.

Thanks folks!

[archaeolept]

here's one of mine, for instance:
two other useful switches are, i find:

--res 1065 806
(creates the game in a window of whatever size you specify)

--clickvol 0
(gets rid of that annoying click noise. hell, maybe later patches already got rid of it - I just need to be sure ;-) )

Humm.. C'Tis you are around?

You did not play your turn yesterday, and it seems that you have not played today...
