Hamachi?

Post by KuraiRyuu »

If I were to use Hamachi to connect to my friends when we play, would we need to set any specific settings in the springlobby before we start?

I need to use Hamachi because I just can't connect to them otherwise. My dad has so many security things and junk and he probably couldn't be convinced to mess with it.
My friend and I also both have our ports forwarded and my general computer firewalls are off.

Thank you.

I don't see a single reason why one would use hamachi to play Spring.
But if for whatever reason you really need to, you should host your own lobby server on "LAN", check this: http://springrts.com/wiki/Spring_on_a_LAN.

Just use existing hosts - your friends will be able to connect there.
You have those options:

* use zero-k lobby, if you host there it always spawns an external autohost
* enable "relay host" in your lobby
* send message !spawn mod=wahtever you want to play,title=name of your game,password=your password to any springie, it will create autohost for you

That's what we are trying to do, since there aren't any public Robot Defense servers. And I doubt you can change all the settings to whatever you want in public servers.

Both my friend's and my ports are forwarded.

We tried LAN and it didn't work, we might have done something wrong, might try again.

1. Unless there's a way to host Robot Defense 2.19.3 with the Zero-K lobby and/or make a server with Zero-K then mess with it on the SpringLobby, then can't.
2. We've tried him using relay host and it didn't work.
3. I have no idea how or where to put that in. If someone can tell me what exactly to put in and where, I can try that. The game is "Robot Defense 2.19.3 (Tech Annihilation 2.19.2)", whatever for the name and pass.
