rbcuk Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Tried both mate, just won't let me. Really need a defensive coach too. Oh right, is the option to ask for more coaches in the interact with the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsky_11 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 We're playing our clan game right now through the game interface :s Did seem odd that you would have to use a 3rd party programme to play network... Anyway, when are we looking to start this? How many we got? Who's gonna host? etc. I assume we'll need everyone together, at least to start it off.

tomsky_11 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 At the moment, by the looks of it, we have: Trent - Leicester Dodgy - Southampton Tomsky - Blackpool Joe - West Ham PoB - ? Rhys - ? How are you all for the next two nights? We should get a time down to start it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsky_11 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Mondays are sounding good so far then. Be good to get it started this week. Even tonight or tomorrow if everyone is on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhyscartwright_avfc Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 When we do get it running someone will have to explain to me what to do because I've never played a network game before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsky_11 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 When we do get it running someone will have to explain to me what to do because I've never played a network game before. Basically the host sets "force continue" rules - once a set time limit is up the game continues for everyone. Also, there is a percentage continue so if, for example, 60% of players click continue before the time up, the game continues. Otherwise it's basically the same.

tomsky_11 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 That's me and Trent ok for tomorrow start. Rhys? PoB? Dodgy? Joe? How about you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyscartwright_avfc Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I meant more as in how to connect to the game. Someone said something about Hitachi or whatever. What's that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsky_11 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I would think as per Keefa, you should be able to run straight through FM, without Hitachi. I would think someone hosts and sets up the game, gives IP address to others, and then they can log in with password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefa3011 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yeah, that's it. The host opens ports 10093 and 10094 on their router, and then everyone can join their game, once the host gives out his/her IP address. Afaik Hamachi takes the potential changing of dynamic IP's out of the equation, but as I said, we don't use it as the FM network game seems to run just as well without Hamachi. We use IRC to chat to each other whilst playing. It's easier and quicker than the in-game chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
