Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Running]

[Foodstamp]

Still having issues connecting to this server. I have downloaded the attached file and I have the lastest version of Worthy Heroes installed

Here is what I have done so far...

I downloaded the attached map file and placed it in the map directory of Dominions 3.

I have Worthy Heroes installed already because of the Middle Way game.

I type in the correct IP and port you gave in the email.

It tells me I cannot connect to the server.

I can can change the port to the Middle Way game and it connects fine.

What a great mystery!

Here's the paramaters that I'm using under Windows

"-C --ipadr 24.17.189.161 --port 1025 --nocredits --nonationsel"

Does this match IP and port with what you're using?

Edit:
Foodstamp, I would also set up an entirely new shortcut (or the equivalent if you're on Linux or Mac) and try again. It sounds like you're editing the Middle Way game to see if you can get at Blood Bath, so maybe there's some weirdness there.

BTW, here is the command line I am using...

"C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe" -C --ipadr 24.17.189.161 --port 1025 --nocredits --nonationsel

I have tried it without the --nonationsel, I have tried doing it manually by starting dom 3, choosing network game and putting in the IP and port. I have tried connecting with worthy heroes mod on, off. I have tested the map file in a single player game to make sure it loaded correctly. I have checked my router to make sure some weird bug had not reset my ability to connect to online games. This is absolutely baffling.

I am going to try to redownload the map file, maybe it is corrupted in some weird way and that is causing the error. The only other thing I can think of is some weird problem connecting to that particular port with my computer setup.

It seems unlikely to be related to the map file, I think you'd get other different kind of error messages. You actually don't need the map file at all, it'll take it off the server no matter what you have locally, I only attached it so people could see the changes I made.

The only other thing I can think of is some weird problem connecting to that particular port with my computer setup.

This seems more likely. It certainly is possible that 1025 (and maybe most all ports) are blocked by firewall software. Is The Middle Way the only other TCP/IP game you're participating in? If you can give me a port # (other than 1024) that you know is working for some other game, I can setup a test on that other port.

Other than that I would suggest looking for Windows Firewall software settings (or anyother software, includind your router), that may have blocked outbound TCP/IP connections coming from Dom3.

Iirc, when the first time I ran Dom3 on a TCP/IP game Windows firewall asked me if I wanted it to allow it to make a connection. It's possible that that might be allowed only on a single port.

Currently I am only in the Middle Way game. I just finished another MP game with no problems.

I took one of your suggestions anyway though and went to Gandalf's page where he hosts random games. I was able to connect to one of his games using port 8982 without any complications. It took me straight to the upload pretender screen.

Hopefully you get it working soon, but in the mean time you just taught me a little more about command lines.
I used to always type in the ip and port manually, and now I can just make a shortcut for each game I'm in. That is basically awesome.

OK, so I set up a test game on port 8982, try the following IP and Port and see if you can upload:

IP: 24.17.189.161
Port: 8982
