Hamachi:RecWar

From LogMeInWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

In RecWar, players have a semi-customizable battle vehicle under their control; the colour of the vehicle, the type of vehicle, and a design chosen from a list are the available options. The game can be played singleplayer, splitscreen with a friend, or over a network (with splitscreen still available). The three game modes are Deathmatch, Team War, and Capture the Cow (the same as Capture the Flag, but with, as the name implies, a cow). In Deathmatch and Team War, the player or team must accumulate the previously set number of kills before the other players or team. All eight weapons are available at the beginning of each game and can have unlimited ammunition. However, mines (set down with a different input than the primary weapon) are limited in the number one can place, but another can be set down as soon as one is exploded. After time they explode by themselves if undisturbed. A final "weapon" is the self-destruct: a countdown from three initiates and a massive explosion takes nearby players into the afterlife.

Hamachi 1.0.3.0

As usual, to get this game working multiplayer TCP/IP, the server/host must do 3 tricks. Here's the drill:

TRICK 1

  • Ensure you manually set Hamachi adapter IP address explicitly to exactly what your Hamachi 5.x.x.x address is (and subnet mask 255.0.0.0) and leave everything else blank).
  • Ensure Hamachi adapter is top of the priority list (Network Connections, Advanced menu, Advanced Settings).

TRICK 2

  • Disable ALL but Hamachi network adapters (yes, that includes your main internet connection, Local Area Network or ADSL)
  • Start game and go through hosting/starting a game server (even if you are not going to host).
  • ALT-TAB or CTRL-ALT-DEL to switch back to windows desktop. In Network Connections, right-click to enable your main internet connection (eg. AOL ADSL or Local Area Connection).
  • Tell others to join in about 1 minute and retry joining couple of times if fail.
  • ALT-TAB or click on game in task bar to switch back to game.

TRICK 3 (optional)

  • Tell everybody to read http://logmeinwiki.com/wiki/Hamachi:Advanced_Peer_Menu on aliasing.
  • Ensure everybody has aliased their list of friends (just the ones who are going to play)
  • For each friend, right-click, Advanced.
  • Peer VPN alias: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd - the aaa.bbb.ccc (first 3 numbers) must be same as one's own first 3 numbers in their Hamachi IP. The ccc (4th number) is same as original Peer VPN address.
  • eg. Peer VPN address: 5.202.43.168 (already set and is my friend's IP)
  • eg. Peer VPN alias: (originally blank but set to) 5.146.5.168 (the 4th number is same as original friend IP, but first 3 numbers is same as my Hamachi IP)

Note: only the server/host of the game needs to do the above steps however it doesn't harm if the client also do the above steps.
