Title: How do I play Multiplayer with my friends?
Post by: CardinalRatzinger on September 04, 2006, 05:12:14 pm
I have the original unmodded Freespace 2, and I noticed it has a multiplayer option. However, I also know that PXO died...so is there another way to play multi, perhaps through a third party?

Also, I did try using the search engine, but I kept on getting irrelevant results.

Welcome to the HLP. Keep all your fingers and toes inside the installation at all times! Exits are located near the "rear" of the station, however, due to the fact that the airlocks are broken... well let's just say we're not going anywhere . Flamethrowers are located beneath seats, but due to the moon conspiracy, GodTM, legalized flaming, ect. the napalm has been replaced with holy-water. Plasma rifles and shotguns are located in the weapons lockers, however, only the admins, :v:, and the hyperintellegent shade of blue have keys. At no point should you combine the symbols F S and 3, as you will be drowned in holy-water. If you should meet a Shivan in the airducts, give him your lunch and back away slowly. Strawmen may be constructed at any time in the gally.

If you have any further questions go to Karajorma's Freespace FAQ (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/karajorma/FAQ/intro.html)

Hmmm. I need to update my FAQ. The LAN section seems to suggest you need everyone's IP address when in fact you only need the IP address of the person who is going to be the host.

That said it won't hurt to have the others and it does mean you can change host easily :)

I take it seriously in that the welcome speech is often the first impression a newb has of HLP, and so it shouldn't be too shabby. Beyond that it is supposed to be off the wall

Everyone should have his own welcome message.For example,I would delete that F*3 is prohibited,bla bla.

There are certain things all HLP welcome messages have, that is one of them, the welcome speech is more or less mine, with ideas taken from various people *shrugs* anyway...
