Discussion / (possible multiple multiplayer disaster!)

« on: July 24, 2007, 06:07:42 PM »

So here's the problem- I'm having a lot of trouble playing with people online. Something always happens- either my opponnet will just be logged out, leaving his bot unmanned, or the other guy's game will crash immediately when multiplayer game starts. (I don't have any firewalls, BTW)

Some problems I accredited to the other guy not having the same map, but the other general problems I can't figure out. I heard that if you don't have the same components, your game won't work, but I know that's not always correct, because I could play my friend even though I had downloaded parts that he hadn't. Is it possible that you can possess the components, just not put them on your robot (if the other guy doesn't have them)?

So bottom line, is the reason for all this failure a fatal flaw on my part, or is it just because the multiplayer is broken? And if the multiplayer is bad, is there any alternative or software I can get to help the problem?

thanks for all and any help.  :D

I almost forgot- is ther an optimal setting for the connection speed to reduce lag?

Discussion / Arena Ideas - Post 'Em Here!

What about an arena that takes complete control of the physics, making the gravity randomly fluxulate (or even reverse), change the resistance of the enviroment, change the way everything appears, or if you want really easy, just make the lights turn off every once and a while.  :D

General Support / bot import help needed

« on: July 23, 2007, 01:59:26 PM »

I was trying to import the stock robots that came with game.

Luckly, it does work- last night I downloaded HoJ and made sure that all it's contents made it into the games folders, and it worked.

I won't be able to import the stock bots, but that's fine. (I'll probably figure out the problem after a while anyway)

Thanks.

General Support / bot import help needed

Quite simple problem- I open the bot importer, click on a picture of a robot, and the game closes itself.

I'm sure this problem has arose before, but the search function didn't provide any threads on this topic.

Help me! I want to drive HoJ!!

(I should probably give my game specifications- I downloaded the game from Atari and the importer never worked, even before modding)
