hmm... hello all... i seem to be late but...
since a couple of you want to go on mplayer for a game i just wanna tell you some pointers to make it easier for all of ya...i have been to mplayer before and i have been quite fond of it... (but i dont go there anymore since im one busy person)
here are some tips:
1) all of you should have the same version of patches
2) all of your mplayers should be updated everytime you log on or else you cant join
3) tc/ip connection also works wonders (sometimes better than mplayer)
4) your host must have a very fast computer and internet speed capability
5) make sure all your players are honorable and stick to the game (heh i played with nutty friends and we killed everyone in sight... and the game went wild!!!)
6) make sure all your char a legitimate characters...(belive me.. having a god in your game will just make it boring and once your god finds it boring he will do some jokes and make the game go wild.
7) a 6 player game is sometimes not advisable since all of you will get lagged (believe me!!) and the game will slow down... i played a game with 6 other people for 4-5 hrs and all we were able to do is finish chapter 1....
make sure all of you guys have the right time =)
9) if you want a private game make sure to lock the room in mplayer BUT if one of your friends gets dropped out he cant come back in the room and cant rejoin (just a warning)
if you wanna know how the tc/ip game works... it is nearly just the same as mplayer game... but sometimes it saves a little memory so it goes a little faster... all you have to do is to let your host get his tc/ip address in his computer... (to get it you have to go to c:\windows and look for ipconfig.something or winipconfig.something... its one of those two) and let all your other players know about it and logon on that address... its better sometimes than mplayer...
hope this will help your game
