Since the testing thread got locked:

Who's up for one, and when?

I'm good from 4PM EST to midnight.

Is it possible to do a network "Warlords" plugin game? Cause I would totally love to test my Dreadnaught Rush tactict against someone besides the computer.

Give me a day or so to dick about with my notebook and get the game and mod running, and maybe we can put that to the test.

I currently can't play, but september is fine, if this thread survives.

I have warlords, and can play. However, Warlords makes my computer cry, so I don't know how stable my playing is going to be.

If, through some miracle, I can get it working online, I'd consider it. However, due to my typical play methods, ideas such as 'resourcing' 'strategy' and 'research' have faded away. I'll need a few warm ups.

Hey Vanas, I'll trade you. My 'strategy' consists of only 'research' and 'resourcing'

Teams?

Vanas · Post by **Vanas** » 2006-08-13 02:01pm

Sure. I still get insta build? :p

After having done a bit of poking, the notebook's a no-go, but I think I can get away with hooking the wireless up to the desktop for a few hours without causing the network to crash and burn. You don't mind dealing with fresh meat on wireless, do you?

Not to be a necroing dick or anything, but I'd remembered that there was some interest in starting up some matches and the like, and I figured better to use this one than start a whole new thread.

By the way, Crossroads, I'm still ready and available, so give me a time if you still wanna' throw down.

I just reinstalled this recently, I'd be willing to maybe give it a shot over the next few days.

Which version of Warlords, and can we use the no-cd executable? I shudder at the idea of using my disk, like some unwashed barbarian.

CR says he's stuck at .45, and I doubt it'd matter how we launch the bloody thing. I'm just hoping my copy doesn't decide to commit suicide.

EDIT: Er, I should also add that said version's the one I'm running as well, as I haven't bothered with any of this micro-update business I read about.

Dominus Atheos · Post by **Dominus Atheos** » 2006-09-13 11:38pm

I'm still up.

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2006-09-14 05:06am

Uh, what about stock HW2? Warlords runs like ass, after all.

Complex or PDS, maybe?

Your doubts are incorrect, homeworld 2 requires both sides to be using the same executable, its how they prevent people from using different versions of the game. Everyone has to be using the CD or no-CD version of the Exe, the two cannot mix.

The micro-releases look and run much better, though they lack research and resourcing, which I suppose would be important for a real game.

Never heard of Complex, but PDS could work. Of course stock isn't a terrible choice too.

Ace Pace · Post by **Ace Pace** » 2006-09-14 10:45am

Lets do stock, PDS requires the host to have a kick ass rig and not everyone has that.

Open thy ports!

Complex isn't too bad CPU-wise and I like its gameplay style - but stock can work. Unfortunately, I dont' have internet access at home for the time being.

reinstalling...
