[ARCHIVED]Play Rise of the Reds Online, With Hamachi Options

[GeneralCamo]

In preparation for 1.85, this thread shall be archived. SWRNet phases out nearly all of the networks for ROTR, and eventually perhaps Shockwave. You can see more information in the update announcing SWRNet:

OLD THREAD:

CODE

You might find that the AI in ROTR becomes a tad too predictable. Don't worry Comrade, there is another option! We have a significant number of people playing Shockwave and Rise of the Reds on VPN networks. They range in skill level (from just downloaded this game to full on pro) and in strategies (from turtler to full on rusher to steamroller). You will find that humans are more fun then AI to play with. We can't cheat you know!

Here at SWR, we use the Hamachi VPN to play multiplayer matches. You can download it here. Use the Unmanaged version.

Setting up C&C Generals: Zero Hour for Hamachi

Setting up C&C Generals: Zero Hour for VPN play is very easy. Once you get it, you won't be mistaken again.

First off, you will need to get Hamachi. Download it with the link above. After that, you will need to identify your IP Address, which is located above your username. As of the time of this writing, the IP address should start with a 25.

Now then, go into ROTR. After you reach the menu screen, hit the options button. In the bottom, there should be a field for a LAN address. Set this to the address located within hamachi. Don't set the Internet IP, otherwise you will screw things up when you want to play ZH online.

Now, when you setup a game, go into the LAN lobby, and start a game. It's that simple!

If you need help setting up Zero Hour for Hamachi, you can contact us there. We would be glad to help.

Good luck, and happy ROTRing, Comrade!

Please confirm the name of your room Hamachi tells me it does not exist

[GeneralCamo]

Try again, made a small typo.

[Casojin]

It would be nice to see some RotR players in the network. So far, it's mostly Shockwave....

[GeneralCamo]

ROTR activity in the network is picking up! Let's try and fill the network to the max!

Completely ignoring the fact the network is specifically for Shockwave...

[GeneralCamo]

Hey, the network owner had no idea ROTR was going to be released before he came back. His internet is down, or so I am told, but he said the network could be used for ROTR.

[Nemanja]

How to use this software,I'm new to it ?

[Nemanja]

OK,but how I can play ROTR with my friend ?

[Comr4de]

He needs to get Hamachi as well, make sure you don't use the same serial code obviously, have him join the network you create on hamachi and then simply go to the LAN lobby =)

If he appears there, it means it worked and you can go ahead and proceed to play ROTR online!

[Nemanja]

Thanks I'll try

What's with the term 'Handschar' here by the way? I do have an idea what it -could- be refering to, but I don't want to go out and say it before someone gives me an official answer.

[GeneralCamo]

I have no idea. The only person that might know is NoNama, and due to an internet problem is unavailable.

[MARS]

It's basically a spelling variant of Khanjar, which is a traditional Arabian dagger. Problem is, that particular spelling variant is the German one, which was also used as the official nickname of a Nazi SS division from Croatia which struck me as irritating.

the right answer...
but its just a game not good to talk about world politics here Mods...

[GeneralCamo]

Could a moderator sticky this? This would be very helpful to new players.

[wargame10]

for some reasons hamachi ate alot the internet connection

from online drops to 0.5mbps

to offline ups to 2.3mbps

can we get a better that hamachi?

[GeneralCamo]

We have tried to get a better VPN in the past. Every single one of them ended in disaster though.

[Evan]

Alternative: http://www.comodo.com/home/email-security/vpn-access.php

[wargame10]

so someone ever try that

[Alias]

We've tried about every solution under the sun, Hamachi has always been the easiest to use, not to mention with NoNama's 256 slot network there's no reason to use anything else.
