TCP/IP game

[Dreifels]

If your're still looking for one, I want to join.
Friday afternoon, Saturday, Sunday possible.
send me an email.

[phsycho]

hi dreifels ... so .. you got the msg

i want to play also ... whole weekend possible

[Dreifels]

Hi,
the point is, that I most time have ICQ disabled and sitch it on only if I know another wants to call me. I'm only reding the newsgroup daily. (takes less time)
So if I get not an email right early, I see not what is planned.
But this weekend is ok for me.

However, I just remember that there is an SMAC incompatibility of the XP patch with those who don't have it. Problem is not for SMACX.

So I can't play with SMAC and XP patch, only w/o patch or SMACX

[binTravkin]

mmmaybe we can schedule it on other time..?

[binTravkin]

Another idea:

Our PBEM part of the geme goes very slow,would it be faster if we create a thread for it?

[phsycho]

then let's play smacX for people without xp-patch

[Dreifels]

> then let's play smacX for people without xp-patch
This is better anyway, and also playable with the SMAC only or both mixed.

>This is better anyway, and also playable with the SMAC only or both mixed

confusing ... one can play smac (terran.exe) with people who use smacx (terranx.exe) ? please explain.

[Dreifels]

with smacx you have 2 options: either play smac.exe or play smacx exe.
If ou play smacx.exe, all must have it, but you can play the smac factions nevertheless, using its smac.exe or its smacx.exe (both are in).
If you play smac.exe, all must have same, means, those with XP patch can't play with those w/o that patch.
As the patch is for smac only, not for smacx, you have with smacx all open, except playing smac with users having XP patch, but you can play both, smac and smacx and in smacx you also can play smac faction, and those with XP can play smacx as well, w/o patch.

So with smacx you always have the better and more compatible way. and much more abilities and the game is overall better than smac.

if you don't have smacx, look here http://smac.2be.cc/tools.html at the very bottom

[Lazerus]

he means just play smax so that those who don't have the xp patch don't have to download it...basically....i think
we can either play regular smax or smac using the smax cd.
*yawn* i need sleep

As for times for me to play its either fri night/sat afternoon but sunday is probably best since i've got all day free.

so we're playing with 5 rather then 4 now ?

ps, hey Dre long time

you know, 5 is the max wha t is stabile by IP, and if the server and connection is not really fast *for all* you can't use simultan. (depends what the slowest connection is, not what the server is)

[phsycho]

ok .. got it

i use the re-edition ... can play both .. prefer smacx

would like to play with gaia, kybernetic, university or pirates


my connections is 2000/384 ... w. good pings

[Dreifels]

[Briggs_ak108]

Hew Add Me in, I Even Have My own Faction so lets get togeather and get somethin on

[Dreifels]

if we play an IP we'll play with original rules and factions, as setup by hosting player, and there isn't a way to include another faction than these 14 originals
