Yes, i will be online at that time to assist you but first,
please confirm for my benefit -
1) You sucessfully joined your friend's game, when he Hosted.
So you both joined a Hamachi Channel and as Host he started Dark Omen up and went to Multiplayer-> PlayTCP/IP Connection for DirectPlay and Connect but as Host he left the next box blank/empty and then choose to Create a Game.
(For Host = TCP/IP Box Blank or Empty but to Join a Game = Insert Host IP)
Then u started your game and chose Multiplayer-> PlayTCP/IP-Connection for DirectPlay and Connect but then pasted in his Hamachi IP (since he is the Host you want to Join) and Successfully Joined his Game.
2) However, when you try and Host a Game there is problem?
Please also Confirm how you Host by -
Starting Dark Omen -> Multiplayer-> PlayTCP/IP Connection for DirectPlay and Connect but as Host you leave the next box blank/empty and then choose to Create a Game. Then your friend starts his game and choses Multiplayer-> PlayTCP/IP-Connection for DirectPlay and Connect but then pastes in your Hamachi IP, since you are now the Host, he wants to Join.
If this is all confirmed to be True then it implies that your Friend is fine but you still have something preventing him Joining, therefore you must follow the Guide and do Steps 1, 2 and 3. If you can confirm that you already have, then recheck, otherwise He must use Step 5 Forcebindip (starts Game with new Icon) to Force Join to your Game, remembering, DO NOT use Forcebindip to Host games, only to Join.
Again, if you both have already tried this then Provide your friend with your Public Router IP in Step 4, to use when Joining your Hosted Game, instead of your Hamachi IP.
If he still has trouble connecting to your Hosted Game then You should try Step 6 and Promote your Hamachi Network and then restart your PC and re -Host, remembering to Leave the TCP/IP Box Blank when Hosting and only the opponent has to paste in the Host's IP to Join.
Please also confirm your Hamachi Status and Version 1.0.3.0, hopefully you see each other as Green Stars in Hamachi (Good Connection) and not Blue Arrows (Bad Connection/Relay Server 8kbps). However, since you say You can Join His Game then it sounds like You need to do Step 1,2,3,4 and 6, else he has to try Step 5 to Force Join to your Hosted Games.
Please be patient and test, as it is always worth it in the End and I always get it to work, incase you meet other members who also have trouble Joining your Hosted Games. Simply advise them to use Forcebindip, if you can confirm that you, as Host have already done Step 1 -Firewall/AV, Step 2-Open Hamachi Ports, Step 3-Open Router Ports, Step 4-Provide him your Public Router Ip and Step 6-Promoted Hamachi.
Yes, i will be online at that time to assist further... since Dark Omen Multiplayer connections can be Random between members, as you both may be able to play everyone else, except yourselves until completing my Guide
I'm on hamachi nearly every night, Welcoming any new members and
fixing any of their problems, so they can successfully play Multiplayer
and I train them up to join our Monthly Tournaments.
Hope to see you on the battlefield soon.
ps. there are great plans to add all the Warhamemr Races and work has begun on Dark Elf and others and I know that Chaos and Lizardmen are high on the To do List.
My eventual Dwarf v Greenskin Mod will also contain
New Campaigns and new Mutliplayer Characters, such as
1) Orc Boar Charriots 2) Goblin Wolf Charriots 3) Goblin Wolf Rider Archers 4) Goblin Wolf Riders and Spider Riders 5) Goblin Stickers/Spearmen 6) Pump Wagon 7) Doom Glider 6) Giants 7) Orc Warboss, (mounted option), Black Orcs and many of my other favourites
8 ) Dwarf Crossbowmen, Axemen, Thunders, Armoured etc 9) Dwarf Hammers and many other assorted Dwarves, including a few Chaos Dwarf.
but will also contain new Audio/Speech/Music and possibly new Cutscenes and Game Menus to demonstrate the power of our(Rob/Mikademus etc) Mod tools, as well as being set on Modded maps that will have new 3d Buildings and scenary to alter game play tactics. However, as you know, it does take alot of time but thats my eventual idea and hopefully we will have other races to combine into a Mod Addon package with a User friendly Mod Installer which they simply click on a Picture of a Race to alter the game and Launch Dark Omen.
it just takes practice, so please tell me your areas of interest and perhaps u could start by enhancing/Modifying/improving my Hammer Dwarves, as their hammer and finer detail need adding.
Brapus, you could do the same to the existing DOC111 Slayer Sprite and enhance/Modify him.
