Seems like there is happening alot here. Are severals turns alllready played? Or are we fighting with the first turn? I tryed to connect to the TCP/IP server today but failed.

And can someone tell me where to download the graphics package that the map uses.

We are still on turn 1.
You weren't sble to connect yesterday. I suspect the problem is that my computer isn't on all the time. Unfortunately, a fan has started being very loud, and I'd probably have to move my whole computer out of my room. We do have a spare computer (it's old and abandoned), and if it can run DomII and there is still space left in the modem, we could get a 24/7 server.

Where are I to extract these files?

Endoperez · #7 October 15th, 2005, 06:24 AM

The .trn file should go to a new folder in your main Dominions II folder. It might be C:\Shrapnel Games\Dominions II, but can be something else. The new folder can be called anything.

However, I think I figured out something. Yesterday, I converted (or so I thought) an old, spare computer into a server. It wasn't until today that I noticed even I cannot connect to it, from behind the same modem! I had forgotten to turn the Windows Firewall off, and it didn't show up anywhere...

Hopefully, the TCP/IP works again.
