3-Day Quickhost Game Cradle of Metal - Running

[En Forcer]

Sounds like a plan. I'm going home for lunch so I'll try to get it done then. Otherwise tonight.

DARN!

Okay, at lunch I registered at mohansen.dk and also created a pretender.

However all attempts to log onto the server got me disconnected. I received the "server connection lost" (Nagot Gick Fel) message and dom2 closes completely. I tried typing in variants of the IP address but to no avail.

Advice?

[archaeolept]

you're imputting the proper port#?

do you get to the nation selection screen in domII when you're trying to upload your pretender?

[En Forcer]

I select from the main dom2 menu "connect to network" -- it then asks for server IP so I type the URL "dom2.mohansen.dk"
as soon as I hit enter I get the error message. It never actually connects.

Do you suggest I try to input the port # first? Previous Posts imply that you enter that after the IP address.

I was wondering if maybe somebody could give it to me in IP format? IE- 54.256.18.22 that sort of thing. Maybe that would work?

his name is mose not mo

80.161.86.108

also, for convenience's sake w/ network games, it is worth creating a desktop shortcut.

for instance, I would have a shortcut entitled "hard_slog" (the name of the game) w/ this under "properties" (right click shortcut icon to edit properties):

E:\games\dominions2\dom2.exe --tcpclient --ipadr 80.161.86.108 --port 2281-m --res 1152 864 --clickvol 0

where you would replace your own path to the Dom2 executible, the correct port, and the resolution you would like the window to be in (or just ignore all that if you don't want it windowed).

I'll join as Ermor unless someone has already taken them in which case I'll take Vanheim unless someone has already taken them in which case I'll take Mictlan.


Anyway, I'll upload Ermor pretender in a few hours.

Regds,

I'll try out the info you gave me. Thanks.


Yeah, I typed "mose" just did the "Mo" slip because my memory is like a steel trap ... rusted shut!

If worst comes to worst and I can't connect, I'll email my pretender so the initial turn can commence without me and I can get things working over the weekend. But I hope to fix this by tonight.

If anyone else has seen this problem please give advice!

Thanks.

[archaeolept]

do you have any weird firewall settings?

[Tyrant]

I would like in as Vanheim please.
