There was that one mission on line that I did play it was where you had to go through series after series of shipd ( Shivan) until you get to a ship at the end. I think it was called the Guantlet. That was really intense. I think it took me close to an hour to get that done. So I did play on line, I just never played squad war.

That is just a single mission included with FS1.

@TrashMan: you don't by any chance have something like FF + NoScript running, do you?  If so, tell NoScript to allow FS2NetD's site.  If you use IE, check your security settings are set to default.  I suppose, as a last resort, I could register for you if you give me your e-mail... *shrugs*

Yes, that would be Shivan Gauntlet. Most people actually consider it to be the easiest of the three Gauntlet missions. The other two are quite a bit harder.

Good God if that was the easiest then I really suck.

Cause it was down. It should be back up again by now.

Registered


HM...but FSO fails to connect (firewall turned off)...dang

[jr2]

Hmph.  Mine connected, at least... but it didn't work for the other fellow , I couldn't see his games and he couldn't see mine.

[Snail]

I connected and played against Super Nova a few times. It's a lot more fun getting your ass blown out of the sky every time you respawn than gunning down useless AIs.

[jr2]

*psssst*  Fly a Ulysses.  Turn using the horizontal axis.  'Nuff said.

[Snail]

He was flying a Pegasus, actually.

If you're having connection problems, for one night only!

[TrashMan]

Everything works now...only no players. One server was tehre but I can't find nothing now...standard FSO or BTRL...no servers, no players..

[Snail]

I know, it sucks ass.

[jr2]

I think with 3.7 there will be a chance for a comeback...  We should make a big push then to get new players online, as well as old ones.

[karajorma]

Might happen sooner. The major problem is that people go online, see there are no servers and then go away.

Even just a couple of working stand alone servers would have an effect on that.

[jr2]

True, but wouldn't that bring a whole crapload of problems with ppl not being able to configure their routers, or having problems like I had?  (I couldn't see the other person trying to connect, and when I tried to connect to him, he was not visible, even though we both were listed as online at FS2NetD's homepage.)

[Unknown Target]

I've been *****ing about the router configuration problems and people not being able to see each other for quite awhile now. All I keep getting told is that the "router is doing it's job" and that it's supposed to be that way. It's mostly these two issues that killed BTRL multi before it even started IMO. That and a lack of dedicated servers.

[jr2]

Well, I know a ton of multiplayer games do it flawlessly... how??  To name a few: Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (Open Source), Tremulous (Open Source Q3A), Urban Terror 4.0 (Open Source Q3A), Halo for PC,... so how do they do it?  UPnP?  It seems unlikely, given that some routers don't have it enabled by default.  There has to be a way that they are either auto-configuring it, or they just don't need TCP and/or UDP ports open.  Again, how?

[Unknown Target]

Ask karajorma. He and I have gotten into several arguments over the matter, with me saying just that.
