Ambrosia Software Web Board: Use the game connector on MAG to play ares while GR is down! - Ambrosia Software Web Board

Just made possible finally today..Magchat is now availiable to download and play on. It is basically a program identical to Gameranger that you can play games off of. It is made specifically for MaG members, however it can be used by anybody...

here's the link to the d/l page ---> [url="http://"http://www.magleague.com/downloads/MagChat.html"]http://www.magleague...ds/MagChat.html[/url] (When you launch your magchat client, change the ip --go to the header bar -- file -- preferences -- technical then change the ip in the box to 24.156.34.52 then restart the client and connect.)

check it out, it's a cool program and it'll work perfectly now that GR is down and even when GR is up.

For those not familiar on how to host and join games without using GR read the Earthling's guide to ares included with either ares 1.1.1 or ares 1.2. This is a good way to play ares games without GR. so check it out.

The connection attempt keeps failing. Yes, I did put the new IP in. Does it work for everyone else?

No, it's failing for me too.

Do I talk too much?

Do I ask too many questions?
I wonder...

I can't even download magchat

I'm starting to feel excluded here.

------------------
I usually only come here past dawn when I've been up all night, so please don't bother me about a signature.

Ok, this is the link on MagLeague that says, "Under Construction." Check it out...www.magleague.com/cgi-bin/local/mag.cgi I hope this helps!

Judge Ehud, is that sig for real?

Don't ask about the sig talon! if it is real you'll start a long debate that'll never end!!

It also seems once you download the program you can't seem to connect to magchat...

I will have to talk to krule about this. He is supposively hosting magchat. I don't think he is remembering to host the magchat while he hosts the hotline server..I'll try to get krule to remember to host magchat for all of you by tonight. BTW: There shouldn't be any problems getting magchat to download. If the link doesn't work above, simply follow the links on the main page of MAG and you'll be downloading it in no time soon.

I was about to say that it wouldn't connect. Also, the 'ok' button on the preferences window doesn't work, so I'm kind of stuck listening to that irritating sound play over and over.

It doesn't let you leave the prefs window unless your name is set to "Guest"

Why does the IP have to be diiferent?


(cheack out my new Sig)

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)

You have to change the ip because a diff. person is hosting magchat than the original person who made it.

Nice, I wanted to add that Command and Conquer foundation of NOD from Genesis (And Cain was banished unto the land of NOD), but I've forgotten the place!

MagChat will not work with dsl, a false ip scheme, or behind a firewall. They're working on it...
