sbg2112 Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 you got that right! i just had my first time -- and i feel strangely like I did after that other "first time". what can I say? wow. I had to mess around with zone alarm for awhile (and no, i won't continue with my analogy). curiously, CM died just after the first connection (hey, I said I dropped the analogy), but we just tried again and whaddya know -- we both saw fireworks! a whole 'nother game indeed!

vimes Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 I just finished my first TC/IP game, and it was great. Not only because I won but the game interference and functionality was perfectly executed, it was pure joy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacestick Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 Just played my first Tcp/Ip game, converting the second battle of a four battle operation from a pbem file for the match. The game played perfectly and without any hitches. We lost connection at one stage when my opponent had a drop out but we were able to restart using the autosave file at the point where we lost connection. There is a lot to be said about watching the movie any number of times and carefully plotting your moves but I have to say racing the timer adds a whole new dimension and does make playing more exciting. I was hooked on this game before the tcp/ip patch but absolutely love it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbg2112 Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 Juardis, Yes, I was able to play with zone alarm running. I'm not certain, since I tweaked a few things on the way to getting it working, but I think there are two key settings. Note that these were specific to running as the "host" in CM; my opponent also runs Zone Alarm but I don't think he would've had to do anything (other than give it permission to play on the 'net). First, in the settings / permissions for CM itself, you have to indicate that it can run as a server. Next, go to the "Security" page -- the one with the "Local" pane on the left and the "Internet" pane on the right. In the bottom right of the dialog there was a checkbox I had to check which said something along the lines of "allow other computers to connect to servers on your system". So, basically, you have to tell zone alarm that CM acts as a server, and then allow others to connect to that server. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaSCa Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 I'm running Black Ice Defender and found I had to turn it off in order for my victim...I mean opponent to connect to me. Otherwise it dutifully logged and blocked his 'tcp port' probes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longshot Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 Oh sure crow about another easy win Vimes! Just wait till the snow is scattered with dead Axis boys in our email game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacewrangler Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 I was hooked on CM for the first month that I had it, I wouldn't play anything else. I couldn't get enough, so I started 5 pbems. Then, I realized I was over my head. CM was no longer a game, it was homework. Furthermore, some days I would spend 15 minutes doing each move, other days, only 30 second or so, because I wasn't in the mood. As great as PBEM is, you just lose the flow of the battle, unless you're transfering files simultaneously. TCP/IP is the perfect answer! I played my first last night, and it was great. No hitches, and no waiting aroudn indefinitely for the next move. I still dont' think I'll ever have time to sit down and play an entire large-scale battle at once, but when I do decide to sit down and really play CM, I'll know I'll get my fix in one sitting.
