Subject: MAX multiplayer games in online system!
Hello all MAX fanatics!
I am PK from Poland. For nearly past 4 years I play in Master of Orion II on kali serwer 138 (http://www.kali.net). I used to play MAX at home lan with my friends long time ago. Kali is a program which allows to connect two or more users via internet in some kind of virtual connection simmilar to local LAN. Kali has special driver which help MAX to bypass error when you choose HOST network game. So thx to kali program its now possible to play MAX in online mode! Human vs human games on internet ARE POSSIBLE! I played already TWO games and all seemed ok, few small crashes happend.
But not all things are so cool. Some bugs which I am aware of:
1. Turn based mode is totaly screwed. I tested it with 2 different users and it always crashes very soon on main map.
2. Game is working very slow. Game works slow on turn based and simultaneous mode. Since TB sucks, the sim mode is only way! But it works great ufff
3. MAX crashes. MAX can crash in any operation and in unkown time. MAKE sure to have AUTOSAVE ON!
To play MAX on kali you need:
1. register free account on kali : http://www.kali.net - register/ scroll to bottom.
2. Installed and working kali program. Install is easy. But some routers have problems with kali and special configuration must be applied (to router)! I know how so just ask.
3. I tested 1.04 version - I assume its latest so you need one.
4. Configured MAX shortcut on kali.
5. Knowledge about making lobbies on kali.
6. A good DSL line will help!
My ICQ: 164417961
I dont speak German so please write in English. If you cant I will use online translator to try to understand your texts.
Please excuse me if I doulbed some topic here or if you are aware how to play max online. If you know how - maybe in better way - please LET ME KNOW!
I am a serious fan of MAX! I also love Master of Orion 2 and got a web site about it and board.
Regards.
