It is with great honor that I invite you to our third annual Midnight Mod Night Madness.
In case you weren't around the last two years this night is when we gather around celebrating the new year by playing mods.

This is the ultimate option to everyone who just stays at home and doesn't party hard like others or... has a really bad spirit and just doesn't celebrate the new year.
Remember that the earth spinning a whole cycle around the sun is a huge deal and most be cause of celebration!

When?
The MMM will take place on december the 31st and last, hopefully until january 1st.
Although the one last year finished the 2nd. Yes, we did 48 hours of just playing mods.

What time?
The MMM will start, like mod nights, at 7:00PM EST. You can join, however, at any time you wish. You could just join in at mid night or you can join in at 9:00, we don't care!

Where?
Like mod nights, the MMM will take place in ShadowFlare's server.

What mods?
We're going to play new mods as well as die hard classics:

-Ad Astras Patch: 1.15.1
-Confederate Uprising AI Patch: 1.15.1

Also you may propose any mod you wish and if people like it, it will be added in the list.

Remember that as it is a Clan [MM] tradition EVERYONE IS INVITED!
And we'll make sure to make it easier for everyone to assist by compiling all the mods in one package and assiting persons to get servers working.

Thank you for reading and remember to show up!

i want to participate, but i dont know how to play mods...
can anyone help me on that?

Most mods are grafted meaning they have to be played on a certain version. To do that, you use a downgrader, found here: http://www.staredit.net/topic/3929/

After you're on the correct patch, you just download and run the mod, they're .exes, so no install or anything is required. Though some mods do require special maps. Different mods require different patches, and I don't know which one you're looking to play, but if you have a specific one in mind I can look into which version you need. At MMM, we always tell people what mod and patch we are playing at that time.

There's currently no grafting tool out for 1.16.0, so you can't play a grafted mod on battle.net at this time. Also remember if you want to play with someone else they have to be on the same mod and patch as you.

Why are Armageddon Onslaught and FungusCraft excluded from the list?

Shame on you Corbo.

I believe I played 13 hours last year.
I want to beat that record.

EDIT: Seriously. I can understand FungusCraft, but AO is decent :C

I'll be there. Fun fun.

Most people are stupid and don't like Fungus. AO is just silly. All it is is get owned by a comp? nothx.

Last year we played AO for over 12 hours. Farty always would last the longest

Can we NOT play AoE...?

AoE is in there for the lulz. I love it dearly. There are a lot of mods on that list I absolutely loath, but I'm being a good enough sport.

How about we keep AoE and remove Dropmod?

Again, no. And there is nothing wrong with Dropmod. I will say AoE has its imbalances, though AoE: SE fixed a bit of them. The list is final, I assembled the pack myself.

I think I'll participate.

This will be my first multiplayer mod on SC ever.
So is there anything a noob has to know?
Like how to I get on Shadowflares server, which channel to meet, specialties when activating mods, you name it.
Some links to the necessary procedures would be nice, so I can read them up until 31st.

Well guys, unfortunately, it looks like I can't attend. I did everything I could with my new router, but it just doesn't do as I tell it. Ports won't open, I can't play. I hope everyone else enjoys MMM.

Pre[MMM] on Christmas, anyone?

I'd like to come but Shadowflare's server never works for me. I get a 6112 port error, even after I mess with my firewall. Strangely, most of the other servers all work.

Thats the server lagging, just connect a couple more times and it should fix itself.
