How do I play the official campaigns online?
« on: September 05, 2010, 12:22:21 am »


               Alright, I've been trying to play the official campaign online with a friend of mine, but quickly found that making the game online is not exactly straightforward. Can someone help me with this?

               How are you connecting to the internet?  If you use a router, and are hosting the module/server, you'll have to open up some ports to allow traffic in/out.

               Ahh...yes, I'm connected to a wireless network, but I'm having trouble both hosting and joining the game when either of us tries to make it; we make the game, but we can't seem to 'find' each other's game to connect to it.

               Only one of you needs to host.  The other can then connect to this host (or both of you can if you use the NWServer application instead of going through the game itself).

Hopefully these links will start you in the right direction.  Right now it may seem hard/confusing... it really isn't once you get the hang of it. '<img'>
