Thread: Hamachi Network

  1. #1

    Default Hamachi Network

    Hey, I've just created a new hamachi network for playing Norman Invasion:

    Network: RTW Norman Invasion
    Password: RTW Norman Invasion

    I hope you're interested in playing online (cause I am!).

    If it could be more explanatory? ... Because ... I installed Hamachi, I connect to the network that you say ... shows me the window of your network, i joined ... but in turn I see myself, in a previous network I created, and off ... ???... I clik on your name, I get a poster "pinging" ... I open the chat window, I'm talking ... but that's nothing ...

    Right now I'm watching your network (I'm connected) .

    I know, is that these programs are simple, not hard to understand, but I want to know why nothing happens when I try to communicate with someone...? (my question is about "previous comunication, before play"... not about game in himself)

    from already thank you very much.

    greetings.

    I can't play... I'm the creator of the network and I'm not able to play... I should shut it down, so nobody could play XD

    The problem is the following: I don't see people in the lobby of the game. I have tried reinstalling both the mod and vanilla, and we both have the same version, but I still can't play. Well, if anyone knows how to fix this problem, please let me know. Ty

    PS: Archaeopterix, he made you run... shame on you =P


    --------------EDIT-----------------

    I've fixed the problem, now I can play on hamachi.

    Good battle Archaeopterix! It could have went either way and it was certainly a nail biter!

    Also, if anyone else is interested MP is a nice change from battling the AI.

    Great to see people playing NI MP. If more battles take place, do post some screenies here.

    Some suggested rules for multiplayer, they have been implemented on lotr mod and the difference was really noticeable (for the better). Here they are:

    10000 denarii
    Large unit size
    Balanced maps with things like small forests and hills.
    Balanced armies*
    No battle time limit.

    *Balance of armies:
    No more than 4 units of the same (eg: No more than 4 Selected Fyrdmen per army). There could be for example 3 Selected Fyrdmen and another 3 Fyrdmen of another kind in the same army (although it won't be much fun to have an army entirely composed by fyrdmen...)
    No more than 3 units of the same when they have 1 hit point.
    No more than 2 units of the same when they have 2 hit points.
    No more than 1 general unit (eg: No more than 1 Royal Huskarls per army, and no other general units in that army).

    Remember these are just suggested rules, not even by the mod creator but just by a mere player. By no means am I trying to tell anyone what to do. You can set a battle according to your wishes, with the sole necessity of agreing with the other player on which the battle settings will be. Enjoy!

    I caught up with Mataputas last night and we were able to get in a couple of battles.

    Have you noticed any balance issues (keeping in mind the mod is more geared towards SP)?

    Well I think the balance is very good for MP! and I don't think any faction has a distinct advantage, you get basically what you pay for. Although moral seems pretty low on some units. I had a decent spearman unit brake after getting hit with some arrows.

    My only critique is there could be more custom battlefields. Out of the six or so that are there, two are river locations which make it difficult for MP battles.

    BTW I attached another screen as imageshack is having issues atm.

    The only thing I know is that Finn is a cheater XD
    The battle of the first screen was alright, I won't complain. But the following one, with the river... come on! My entire army started routing just because...

    Next time I'll change my soldiers' stats before playing...

    Regarding the mod, the only "issue" i noticed was that the units are in general more expensive than those in other mods/vanilla. But it's just a matter of time to get used to those costs... Norman horses seem to be very powerful with their charges, but that's ok.

    Oh, and there's something strange... we had to delete map.wrm before playing online, cause if not, we had "incompatible versions" of the game (although both of us have 1.2 installed). I don't have to erase anything to play online with other mods... I don't know much (anything) about modding, but perhaps there's a way to make it automatic so as no to be all the time erasing a file...

    It's true we didn't really pay much attention to custom battlefields. I'm gonna try and add some more for 1.3, making them as diverse as possible; it's not very easy with such a focused map.

    Automatic deletion of map.rwm can happen only with a .bat file, which isn't really worth it. Did you have to delete .rwm each time or only the 1st one you played?

    About morale; I see. I'll see if we can get "low" quality units a small morale bonus.

    Costs: The tool I used to create NI's EDU has a custom-battle cost modifier, which is currently set at 1.5 (1.5*recruitment cost, that is). If you think that's too much, just tell me what value you'd prefer.

    Each time, both of us.

    Yes, it could be a nice improvement. As you wish. However, in that battle I think it was my fault (in part) cause i splited my army, and i sent the general by the other path, and perhaps (almost for sure) that affected the fyrdmen's morale.

    Don't warry about that... just increasing the amount of money to be spent will give a solution to that issue.
