TXG/MNX Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hi, At Jagfest UK we setup a network with catboxes and scatboxes to play 8 player aircars. It did run but the network was problematic. Playing Battlesphere on the same network ran perfectly. So could someone tell me if the aircars are know to have a bad networking? TXG/MNX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeg Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Considering that aircars is so badly written anyway, im not surprised it didnt work when the network was a mixture of cat/scat/jaglinks etc. What a waste of a few hours that could have been spent on more battlesphere or worms.... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're really going to have to run the Worms tourney again next year...maybe this time TXG will do a little better Welcome to the forums btw.

TXG/MNX I found while ScatBox testing that it was really difficult to get the network started because it doesn't automatically detect the different players and you have to set everything up carefully before starting. Then it seemed to help signing in one at a time. Once past the startup it seemed to work pretty smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like what happened - the problem occurred when everyone was getting their player numbers assigned and before gameplay even started. Worked fine on the first day tho Still, the BS network was as much fun anyway Stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't bother to write a good auto detect system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
