NOTHING WILL WORK
Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2006 9:01 pm
hi there
multiplayer dosent work!
first: I have a XP2 SP2. The machine is powerful enough.
I followed all instrucions from:'lordbrazen':
Did the dos install: had a v1.2 CD then used the v1.3 patch from lord brazen then used the v1.4b22 patch from lord brazen. changed the orioncd.ini file to my install dir. then changed the autoexec2.nt file. mine looks like this:
@echo off
REM Load DOS mode CD-ROM support
lh %SystemRoot%\System32\mscdexnt.exe
REM Load DOS mode DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\System32\dosx_sp1
REM Set parameters for Sound Blaster Emulation
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3
REM Load DOS mode IPX support
lh %SystemRoot%\System32\nw16
lh %SystemRoot%\System32\vwipxspx
I know of the probs of 'dosx_sp1' but in my sys32 i have both:'dosx' and 'dosx_sp1'...I edit the autoexec2.nt file in both ways
My exact prob is: I start a new net game. inizialiantion works fine. the other trys to join... work fine. I see the change from '1 human has joined the game' to '2 human...' Then i can even go on and select my race and color..(all things that didnt work before i hadnt used the install guide a l.brasen!!!)
BUT THEN NOTHING HAPPENS
my conclusions are:
that a connection is established (since the change i can see from 1 to 2 human...) but there is something blocking me!!!
(Firewalls on both down)
I really think i did everything right,exept mayby one thing: I dont know how to do a 'super clean' uninstall of a DOS program(moo)
I belive that previous false installaions i did could be the reason,but to be honest i HAVE NO CLUE!
It's that I LOVE this game! and it was always a dream of mine to play moo2 once in LAN. Just now I have some time to 'lose' and I'm quiet despreat to make it now finaly work.
Sorry for my english..ma se volete possiamo anche parlare in italiano
