Good evening everyone. First off I want too deeply apologize for noobishness, improper grammar and or spelling. Thanks for reading beyond this. Ok so I have a good group of Teamspeak friends. We enjoy playing different games together and are always looking for a new and awesome multiplayer experience. A couple weeks ago I remembered that while I was deployed in Afghanistan some buddies and I had a LAN connection or such going with Skulltag and we had a blast together. One of those guys did all the techy type stuff to get it running on that old computer. Now though I have no clue how to set it all up. I am running windows 8 on a HP Envy Pheonix (Dont remember exact model number, and Ihave a baby in my lap so am not going to be able to check for awhile.) Basically I want to be able to play a multiplayer game with 2-4 friends. Preferably Stronghold, or a good coop WAD. It would be awesome to figure out normal Doom2 WAD, but I cant. We have and use Hamachi. I kinda started the process already by watching 2 videos for Skulltag about opening the ports and setting up the actual server. I got the server set up in Zandorum, but all I get is 'No Response', and my friends cant connect too me, or find me. If someone could just start from square one, that would be great as I think I may have fucked shit up at this point. TL:DR Need square one, barney basics, directions on how to set up Zandorum for Hamachi use, with Stronghold or other CO-op stuff (recomendations would be nice.). Please?

Sorry for the DP, but anyone know how to setup Hamachi for Zandronum?

Roger that, thansk for the help.

First off I'd like to apologize if this is in the wrong section.. I thought maybe source port might be better, but just to make sure I am going to see how hot the flame is here first.. Onwards: I have recently spent a lot of time gaming with a good group of friends. We jump between games always looking for the next best co-op, multiplayer, or general gaming experience. A couple hours ago I remembered that I spent a good majority of my previous deployment in Afghanistan playing Stronghold with a group of guys there. Unfortunately the 'leader' of that group did all the settings and what not for me to play with them, and it was all done on an old computer. Now I am trying to set up a server for me these new friends so we can spend hours killing each other, waves of demons, and general shenanigans. I watched two videos on youtube describing how to set up the Hamachi side of things, and allowing my computer to allow skulltag through its firewall. For some reason I still cant get A. The server to work, and B. my friends being able to find me. A. When I do a start server thing and I join it, it always tells me my version isn't correct.. Obviously I am doing something wrong. Also when I am in the Skulltag main screen, the server list isn't populating.. IS it that I am not connecting to the skulltag servers, or are they actually no longer functional, or something else? TL: DR Skulltag isn't populating other servers, says mine isn't responding, and gives me British flag on server list (In the US...) Friends cant find me on their Skulltag. When I create a server (from the button at the top of skulltag) and join it, it tells me: Level authentication failed. Please make sure your are using the exact same wad as the server. If you can help that would be great. Also using windows 8

Honestly i do not think there is enough ammo.. But maybe thats cause im to trigger happy. Other then that, this is a fairly decent map. I think it could be a little bigger, but if its a map for the first 10 level slots then i suppose it fits. Also just a side note, im not very good, but how the F do you stay alive in this map? The few times i survived longer then a minute i let things in fight, but ended up being chased down by a caco or a revenants fireball... Hints?

Lol this map was entertaining a bit lol.. I hate having to spam with the BFG though.. i quickly ran out of ammo for the shotty, maybe i wasnt looking for it hard enough though. Great placement and mixture of stuff. The archies kept killing me though.. Bastards can rez from up there. You make more of these maps and ill play the hell outta em.

What? I always thought when the skill level was changed, that the damage taken was scaled with it? Blah... Im just an idiot then i suppose.. Still though should imps be doing 20dmg then in the easiest setting?

It feels pretty good so far, although i am playing it on super easy atm. Something i noticed, do the Imps usually do 20 damage on easy, or did you make them in UV or something? EDIT: With the monsters doing UV/NM damage it seems there is not enough health. I think ive only seen 2-3 Health pack and a few stims.. at 13health and have been for about a good 5mins...idk how the hell i just survived the Cacos.... Edit EDIT: Ok just tried playing it through UV to see maybe if something got reversed for some crazy reason.. Noticed monsters are all doing the same damage now consistent with UV mode, although health is still an issue. While challenging is what a slaughter map is supposed to be, running around with below 30 heatlh for a quarter of the map is just butt tensing.

Lol its a joke. I do have a Laptop but its not top of the line or anything, just enough to get me through the lonely nights in Iraq/Afghan while deployed. Its only got like 2g's ram and the video card if 3 1/2 -4yrs old. So is the computer.

Holy Hell Man! I loved the layout of the map, i loved the slaughter, i loved the monster numbers.. What i did not love was the lag. I dont think this is your fault as i suspect if i wasn't still playing on a Commodore 64 I wouldn't have that problem. Unfortunatly though i do have that problem and it sucks cause it really is game breaking for me. My favorite thing about this map; the Ghost in The Shell reference. Awesome man, just friggen awesome.

Yes i did notice the 'lack' of inv-spheres on UV. But as i never really made it very far past the first room ( i got smart and saved when everything was dead..) i don't really know where they are all at. That blue key is going to be a bitch to be honest. I had no idea that it was at the middle of all that, and i should have known that the key wasn't going to be guarded. Your right though letting things in fight helped alot. Im a bit of a hard headed fool, cause ive been trying to run through there without visiting anything other then the first room.. So far ive managed to get my self killed a ridiculous amount of times. Just so you can laugh later, i got miffed once, hit the Inf-Ammo key, and fastweap key, and still got slaughtered.. I stopped after the first time cause somehow i had more luck without them. EDIT: i started playing on the easiest setting just to say that i have beaten it (dont worry UV is still saved.. just getting to angry at the moment) and realised theres another blue key? Suppose the massive room is meant to be a trap only? Im not sure i like an only 37% monster kills.. Wait i get it go back before ending? Probably.. The blue key is kinda redundant though right?

Maps are looking great guys! phml: dude your map has got me hooked at the moment. Ive been trying to finish it but damn if i dont keep running into my own problems lol. The first room seems to be the only issue for me really.. I like playing on the Hurt Me Plenty difficulty most of the time, and i have to admit I seemed to get nerfed ALOT in that first room.. There was 1 time i made it, played for a solid 30mins, and died... Forgetting all along to save. I was very miffed so i turned down the difficulty. Any hints on that first room? The lost souls always get me trapped some how. Also quick question, was it intended to have two chances to get a Invulnerability sphere in there? If you push the button you get one, and then there is one on top of the button?? This meant to be? Sorry if i just gave away secrets. EDIT: Um i must have been having a bad day yesterday or something cause i just flew threw that room on UV.. i dont know what possessed me to put it on UV but i did and some how i got threw it.. And then i found the secret in that room. Are you f-ing kidding me with that damn teleporter? How in the hell am i supposed to get through THAT with a shotty and a P-Rifle???!?!!??

Id love to see it dude.. Looks pretty awesome.. Lots of weapons too..

What weap wad you using?

Wow guys im actually really surprised at some of the good work coming out of this. I honestly though that this was gonna be a Noobie mega wad or something, but after playing some of yalls WADs im completely taken aback. Doing good work everyone. Cat looks good Phml. Im gonna play throught it again here in a moment see if i cant try to do it at speed run speed.. I doubt it though. Doomhero: dude dont worry im getting my came up now.. figured out how to make a door now lol.. Wont be sending you anymore rooms like that again, although that one is kinda fun to me. Its cool knowing that even with the odds stacked against you in that manor that you can still win. If anyone wants to try my first ever Doom Builder 2 map just PM me.. Its absolutely beatable but its def not anything youd tell your friends about..
