Lone Island turn tracking thread

[JustinSane]

Turn sent I think I've misplayed this one so far, but maybe I can make a comeback.

: we could load this game as a tcp-ip game and go a LOT faster!
I'll host this saved game and send you my Ip by PM.

[JustinSane]

Turn sent. TCP/IP sounds like a good idea, though I have of course no experience with it. I'm behind a router, so it may or may not work. I've got about 45 minutes left before I've got to leave today. The game is getting interesting though

[bluetemplar]

I'm searching internet about this this...

Otherwise I've created the game and I'm waiting you...

[JustinSane]

I tried twice to join using the TCP/IP address you sent.. but I got a "no game found" error. Does the name entered matter?

Alpha Centauri uses Microsoft's DirectPlay for internet connections (a component of DirectX). According to Firaxis it uses no ports beyond those required by DirectPlay.

Directplay uses the following ports:

*
TCP Inbound/Outbound: 2300-2400
*
TCP Inbound/Outbound: 47624
*
UDP Inbound/Outbound: 2300-2400

You may also need to have your Internet Service Provider open these ports for you. For help configuring a firewall or router you may need to refer to the manufacturer.

game name: Planet Cult vs Spartans

[bluetemplar]

maybe .254 for the last number?

(don't remember if it's vs or VS ...)

[JustinSane]

Thank you for that information. I will try to make that work. In the mean-time, I must apoligize, but I'm developing a migraine headache and must leave for the time being and see if I can't try to sleep this off quickly

[bluetemplar]

Ok, take care!

[bluetemplar]

Oops, sorry, I thought I've played & posted the turn...

[JustinSane]

Turn sent

[bluetemplar]

Speeding up the powergraph... :-)

[JustinSane]

Turn sent You are indeed shooting up the power graph, but hopefully I'll be catching up over the next 5 turns or so. I've sacrificed for a few trumps that should come into play rather quickly now. Not sure it was the best decision, but I'll try to make the most of it

[bluetemplar]

We'll see
