Play Shockwave Online, VPN Networks and channels Options

[Wi-Ta]

Over the years we've tried many different ways of networking, but we always move back to Hamachi just because of how easy it is.

Also i like to ad that Hamachi is a workhorse that gets the most out off your DSL connection.
The connection is most off the time stable.
The only crap i have encounterd so far are bad DSL and buddys who use old versions of SW (right IPS? )

Just see this great picture. Did you ever see so many ppl in hamachi? This is all contra players. We can create the same shockwave community. Just download garena and enjoy. Room for a game: red alert 3/China net/CNC3 room.

Eh i'd love to switch to garena personally but the hassle is a bit annoying , but he is right its a MUCH better alternative.

[Angel]

Zhao, can you write message about garena in your networks in hamachi?

[Shock]

I'm willing to give garena a try, but would need someone with more experience to sort it all out. What I have found is that we would pretty much be playing on the same network as contra, as garena only has their own fixed large networks.

The whole hamachi limits are things that are keeping players from finding each other, as evicting everyone when the network is full means they will have to proactively rejoin it everytime they want to play, instead of just being online inside it whenever their PC is online. Garena gives some more oppurtunities to play when you can just be online all the time.

It will require to make a pinned tutorial on the forums as this program is a lot more complicated than Shockwave, but I'd be willing to invest time in a pilot project to see whether the community is up for it.

To me tunngle is the BEST option

-Its stable
-Have large rooms where meet players (up to 255 members)
-Its easy to use
-Have SHOCKWAVE ROOM !!!!!!

Try, give a chance and see

Yes I give u a chance, succesfully install & create account but because it was Beta version so everytime try to login I got this message...

Because of Generalcamo's unnotified absency the networks are clogged, and fate wanted my client to malfunction to that I had to reinstall, and lost my eviction rights. So I made Shockwave Room 4 for all new players. Hope camo returns soon so we can resolve this situation.

Until then, I urge everyone in the current networks to leave them when they go online.

Hamachi 2+ is good when you can attach yr network to yr Log Me In account but you can't make admin @ banned people from yr net (to banned people you must make it from yr Log Me In account *if that account no longer as yr original pc you cr8 it*) like you can did it in version 1+...
In Hamachi 2 once you attach yr net, no problem will face to yr net even you format yr PC.

To evict people from this my network: CNCZH_SHOCKWAVE_ONLY, I must log in to my Log Me In account....

Lay out the instruction with pictures.

[Shock]

Garena can just use the Shockwave.exe, doesnt need a specific name, and is a bit more known, so what again are the advantages of gameranger?

None, as I said in the edit: gr won't start shockwave even if the things are done. Only works for Rome-Total war mods I suppose :/
So go ahead and write a tutorial and organize something to make it work. Then we can build up a real online community.

EDIT: Just downloaded garena.

FINALLY.
I have cleared out the networks. Stupid Internet going offline....



I really do apologize. Shock had a problem with hamachi, and I had a problem with my internet.

Tungle? Good. I better install that.

Confirmed. I have tried with success. I set the game path to shw.exe and launch the program via Garena. My LAN IP is changed to match Garena one but I need my Hamachi to stay offline or the game would use Hamachi IP instead. Though I never see anyone online in there at my usual time.

how to play on Hamachi?

[Frostyarmy]

You click join network and then join one of the networks below my Post

I can also reveal that if I'd ever do a Shockwave tournament (post-patch) then it would probably go on Garena. It is the best way to push a new platform and it is so much more managable to have every participant in one room that is also better suited for chatting and other features. It would probably also help to get the tournament huge as I expect a large inflow from the Contra playerbase when it is so accessible.

Its not more complicated compared to hamachi if you have to explain both systems to a new player, really.

I've tried Garena and I think Tunngle is better than garena tbh. At least you got a real shockwave network there for 255 ppl (just as much), networks are easier to find in general and you don't have to do anything besides install and start. Even simpler than hamachi.

btw: We could also use xfire for communication, it's easy to use and gives more options than the limited hamachi chatsystem.

what should I do AFTER joining the network?

[Zeke]

In the options menu, change your LAN IP to your Hamachi IP (the one starting with 5).

After that it's just a matter of waiting for someone to come online, then just ask them for a game. You set it up like any other lan game. (multiplayer > network > create game/join game)
