Post by: kurzck on May 03, 2008, 12:56:15 pm: Would the new 5-1 build work? I am downloading the game over again, and am going to try that once I get everything up and running

I dont really know the answer, and would like to know it

Post by: kurzck on May 03, 2008, 02:31:23 pm: So i got freespace up and running, everything works fine, and I was following the guide to set up multiplayer FS2Net. I am registered and have the missions, and voice (even though I don't think i pu them in the correct place.

Now, when I click on multiplayer, it says that I failed to connect. Any help?

Post by: kurzck on May 04, 2008, 09:55:43 am: I downloaded the Freespace2.dmg
Downloaded the 5-1 trunk build of FS2_open 3.6.10
Downloaded the Media vp's and also the missions and voice vps (where exactly do the missions and the voice vp's go?)
I downloaded the installer 3.0, and then put everything it its proper place myself.
I am using a Mac, running Leopard if that is any help

Post by: karajorma on May 04, 2008, 11:17:07 am: Mission and voice VPs can go in the main directory. MediaVPs should go in a folder with the name mediavps and be selected by including -mod mediavps in your command line.

Not sure why it's failing to connect though.

Post by: kurzck on May 04, 2008, 02:56:06 pm: Yes, ok. All media vp's in the correct spot.

When I go to join a multiplayer game, it will act like it is connecting, but then say it failed to connect. Could a firewall be the issue?

Post by: kurzck on May 04, 2008, 03:03:59 pm: Ok. I got somewhere with the multi.cfg file located in the original Freespace 2 data folder.

I opened it up, and changed the +user_server, and +game_server from their original PXO.net located to fs2netd.game-warden.com

Now I am able to actually "log in" but I get an error message that says Failed to log into Parollax Online. I can actually go and create my own game, but am unable to see any games in the server list.

Is there anything more with this multi.cfg that could be changed?

Post by: castor on May 04, 2008, 03:06:12 pm: Try to take out the multi.cfg completely (I think it will use default values then).

Post by: kurzck on May 04, 2008, 07:03:51 pm: That seems to do the trick. No more error messages. I guess there just aren't any servers.

Hopefully when my buddy and I set up a game, it will show up in there as long has he has his ports forwarded.
