lol, I finally got into Mod Night 1. I wanted to be able to be in all 3 so that people could potentially connect to my server over Hamachi, to better organize the games.

Everyone chill the fuck out, Im coming. ;o

ShadowFlare's Realm is now available through the Mod Night 1 - 3 Hamachi networks. Just get on one of those networks and add 5.58.52.134 to your Starcraft Battle.net gateways list. Keep in mind that you will likely still only be able to play games with people who are in the same Hamachi networks as you are. This just will make it easier to see who is on Starcraft and to communicate with those who are, since no matter how everyone connects, they will still be able to see who is online and see each other's messages. BTW, when connecting through my server, it will be unnecessary to change the order of the network connections.

Let me know if it gets to the point where I need to join any more Hamachi networks for my server.

Oh, btw, as far as networks filling up, it probably should all work fine if everyone joining a game sees everyone from the game in their Hamachi list, even if they aren't all in the same network. If even one person doesn't see everyone in their Hamachi list, it will probably cause issues, though. I'm unsure whether this would work or not for an SC LAN game over Hamachi, but I think it should work for an SC Battle.net game over Hamachi.


Some additional information:

From my tests so far, it appears that only those who connect to my server through Hamachi can join games hosted by others who connected through Hamachi. Conversely, it seems that only those who connected through sfrealm.hopto.org can join games hosted by others who connected through sfrealm.hopto.org. Basically this means whoever is playing will need to arrange to have people either join regular ShadowFlare's Realm or Hamachi ShadowFlare's Realm, depending on which they used to host.

Yes, it is still the same server and you use your same user name as when you connect to sfrealm.hopto.org. However, when you use this instead of the LAN game option, it is possible to talk to the people who are already in games. It is also still possible to see who is on sfrealm even if they aren't on Hamachi and talk to them as well. I just thought it might make arranging games easier, since everyone can still talk to each other in SC and people who don't get on through Hamachi will get more of a chance to know what is going on at the moment and possibly arrange for some people to get back on regular sfrealm instead of through Hamachi if they were going to host a game.


I've added a small utility at http://sfrealm.hopto.org/ for those who just want to quickly add my Hamachi IP to their Battle.net gateway list.

I think we need to remake a topic about all this to be stickied with all needed info and links in one easy-to-read place.

For the upcoming mod night, we should try to do it on Shadowflare's server through hamachi. I miss having a nice multiplayer UI, and I dislike setting up games through UDP. Just add this to your gateways:

use vent, need for ui vanishes

I am of the opinion that this will create more problems than it will solve. And I'm tired of being the one having to get everyone on and explain to them what they need to do since I've done it already so many times. So if we're going to do this, someone else is going to have to play teacher this time. =/

We've discussed this in the past. Everyone was like "But we suck dick won't get as many funny screenshots." which is lies.

Edit:
I am also going to clear some network slots of anyone who hasn't been on in the past few weeks. You can rejoin the network at any time but there's no sense in you taking up a slot if you're not using it.

yeah but none of your screenshots are funny anyway so it's no loss

lol
They said so, not me. I wanted vent.

I think I'm on network modnight 2. Feel free to remove me as I usually only do really late night modnight and can make another network. Corbs, A-of-st, and any other west coasters.. Sat nite? Say 11pm ish? I'll be here.

Make an arbitrary decision for them.

Since no one seems to be using my server over Hamachi at all, for now I'm just going to get out of the Mod Night 1 - 3 networks and go back to running my server the way I've usually run it. If anyone actually wants me to bring it back up on Hamachi, let me know.

I also just realized that I may have at some point inadvertently made the server inaccessible from anything but Hamachi. No one told me, so I suppose it didn't really matter.

Flyinghat noticed it was down, but I guess he didn't bring it up.

I was supposed to bring it up? I thought it shut down routinely.

Actually, I noticed it too when I was trying to play D2, thought it was just me having horrible lag issues.

Due to a format I no longer have eviction control on the 3 mod night networks.

I'll be setting up a network as Modnight///Modnight.

I apologize for being nub, but can someone please go over this in slightly more detail? I can't find said box.

On XP:
Go to the Control Panel, then Network Connections. Up in the top, where you see File, Edit, View, etc, you will see a new dropdown menu that says "Advanced." Click that, and then go down to Advanced Settings. You should see Hamachi, Local Area Network, and possibly Wireless Network Connection all in a box. Using the arrows on the side of said box, Select Hamachi, and use the arrows on the right side to move it to the top of the list.

Hopefully that's a bit more clear.

It is. Thank you.
