how was i messing with my router? i was just forwarding the ports like the walthrough said.

actually, i'm not gonna bother with this crap. if i can't play multiplayer then i see absolutly no reason why i should keep playing freespace 2. (and don't start throwing reasons why i should keep playing cause frankly i don't give a damn)

[Centrixo]

You know, if this is how you treat the people who help you, and this is how easily you give up, then maybe you aren't cut out to play multiplayer in the first place.

Haloboy, make sure that you don't have the mediavps selected, as that will cause the hacked tables message.

[haloboy100]

meh. i always sucked at multiplayer anyway

plus, lets face it. everybody here plays freespace because of the multiplayer. that or FREDing. and since i never liked FREDing, i'm just gonna have to wait untill SOME kind of answer shows up.

and for the last time, this is not about hacked media tables. its about being able to frikin connect.

i got the almighty "Hacked media tables" message

get rid of the tom's engine build, put this into C:\Games\FreeSpace2\data\, and run without any mods selected.

[haloboy100]

i already did that. i did every step in mathewpapa's FAQ

[karajorma]

The simple answer is that what you did in my network places didn't open a port in your router. If it were that easy to open a port in a router every hacker in the world would be doing it. What ever it is that you did do you need to remove it.

When you typed in 192.168.0.1 the username and password it asked for were the ones for your router. You need to find out what they are and get into your routers setup options in order to forward a port.

Wow, what are you, 10? Not only that, but your "reasons for people playing Freespace" are totally wrong - multiplayer is almost nonexistant, everyone plays for the user-made campaigns (which is done via FREDing...you don't play Freespace 2 for it's mission creator...)

Anyway, seriously, if you're going to be so rude to the people who are trying to help you, why should anyone continue trying?

[haloboy100]

i'm wondering the exact same thing. And the reason why i did the thing in my network places is because Xfire, limewire, and Halo did the exact same thing i did. so i see no reason why i shoulden't do it for freespace 2

[Centrixo]

Freespace 2 is older then xfire limewire and halo altogether and internet connections were like there in the stone age compared to todays connection, after all freespace 2 is 7 years old and in computer game years is about.. 300 human years.

the reason why im here is to see if fs2 is still alive and play campaigns done by others such as jad and jad 2.

[haloboy100]

the reason why I am here is because i wanted a place where i can actually hang out with people who play freespace 2. but i guess freespace 2 is just too boring to be worth anything. looks like it's back to EBay for this game.

[neoterran]

and don't let the door hit you on the way out 

[karajorma]

Let me get this straight. You've failed to set up Freespace 2 properly for multiplayer because you don't have a clue how to forward ports on your router and that's somehow FS2's fault for being boring?

[Centrixo]

what? forwarding and boring in the same setence dont go together .

Toodles. If it weren't for the fact that the mods have already warned me, I would say some harsher things about you, but I can't.

[Kazan]

"Tom's old engine" build should fix the problems. See www.freespacezone.com for the download... it's at the end of the page.

no, it's just a cheat that circumvents the security checks and should be banned

Haloboy, make sure that you don't have the mediavps selected, as that will cause the hacked tables message.

confirmed

[MatthewPapa]

If you cannot connect, chances are

A. Some firewall is blocking your outbound connection attempts
B. You don;t have the pxo config file in the right spot

[karajorma]

Yep. Pretty much every connection error I've seen has been down to one of those two problems.
