TCP/IP Game Trouble

Mr.Misfit — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 07:54:49 -0400

A friend of mine an me wanted to play a game together, so we thought, to install Hamachi and start playing by TCP-IP, however, everytime, when the empires are set up and the "Runde berechnen"(Calculate Round)-Button is pressed, it stops there, you see a loading bar for about a nanosecond, then only the regular screen with the possibility to chat or look at the players and the status keeps being frozen. Always at "Calculating Round"
We really do not want to start PBW or PBeM, so anyone can help us?
We use the Standard Game, Version 1.66 German.

PLease help quickly, we really want to play ^

New To Multiplayer.

MongoMoon — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:37:28 -0400

Hi, I'm new to the game and have a question. I've posted here rather than in FAQ as I feel I'm more likely to get a helpful response to my first question here. So here goes:

Where can I find online games to join? I understand that I have to use Hamachi. Is there a programme or way of finding others looking for games? These forums seem rather quiet.

Also, if I do manage to find some people to play online with and I'm using a custom race portrait, will they be able to see it?

SEV V1.74 with 1.14b - Multiplayer

Octuro — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 11:16:06 -0400

Hey Guys

Trying to start a 2 player game over TCP/IP.
Everytime the empires have been loaded and I process the 1st game turn, SEV hangs at Generate 1st turn.

I have a current TCP/IP game going and I can still play and process games.

Has anyone else encountered this, or am I over looking something.

Any help would be great.

Thanx

New PBW Game: JumpGates (All Tech / No Warp Points)

Kingside_Bishop — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:42:39 -0400

Hi, all! I started a PBW game, and thought I'd advertise it here. So, here goes! The title of the game is "Jumpgates (All Tech / No Warp Points)".

~~~~~

Hi!

I've been wanting to do something interesting with SE:V for awhile now, so here goes: JumpGates... a catchy title if ever there was one! No warp points. All research is completed. Resources are finite. Players can only colonize breathable atmospheres of their home planet type. First to be the last one standing with a homeworld wins the game!

So, to elaborate a bit...

1) No warp points.

The medium, flower spiral galaxy will not start with any warp points, which means that players will be stuck in their starting systems until they develop ships and/or bases to open warp points to nearby systems. To facilitate this, each player starts with five homeworlds, so that their industry is sufficiently jumpstarted to allow the production of such massively expensive tools, and all technology has been researched, so that players won't have to actually research Stellar Manipulation, which takes literally forever. Also, as a house rule, the construction of System Gravitational Shield Facilities is strictly forbidden -- otherwise, the game would be unplayable. If anyone is caught building them, they will be telekeuthanised.

Multiplayer - TCP/IP over LAN

Octuro — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 08:01:42 -0400

Started my first multiplayer game this weekend, and four games (restarts) later I have got the following questions:

1) Combat replays dont work for the clients, - I have found many threads with this problem but no solutions. Is there a 3rd party viewer that can be used?? Since the files do get transferred, there must be a problem else where.

2) I have read that transfer ships dont pick up the cargo. What i did notice is that if I load 100Kt and I only have space for 50Kt, nothing gets picked up. - Is this a bug or a feature??? - I thought that it would pick up the 50kt and report - full cargo can not load 50kt.

Game Duration

Zac QuickSilver — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 03:11:40 -0400

I'm just wondering, how long do multiplayer games last, both in game time and real time?

I'm mostly wondering because my strategies in single player games run along the lines of Research and Ally, which tends to slow things down, but it seems like Multiplayer games run too fast/aggressive for that to work from what I've read here.

Crian — Sat, 31 May 2008 19:32:46 -0400

Hello everyone! We need another replacement for one of our players in the BM 1.14a game War and Civilization 3.

The empire is the airzsika, and we're currently at turn 38. No major upheavals with the airzsika as of yet and the place is relatiely peaceful so it won't be hard on anyone who is willing to take up the mantle.
