Soo... Finally have limited LAN abilities - a couple lan capable machines and some crossover cable - paradise for Ares. Now, a couple of questions. How do I go about setting up the game - do I need to know IP's and ports? Also, is it necessary for me to have 2 registered copies, or can I just use 1, like with StarCraft. Answers are appreciated - thanks!

1. I think you need to know the local IP address of the machine you're joining with.
   -> Host game on one machine
   -> Go to "Join game" on the other, select "TCP/IP" connection
   -> Enter in the local IP of the first, use whatever port is there (32430 or something...)
   I haven't tried it myself, but that should work.

2. Yes, you need two reg codes. I'm pretty sure that it'll quit on you if you join a game registered with the same code (and only 1 copy).

Well then, must register a second copy... I think I'll be OK with the IPs though - I've tinkered with it before. Well, thanks!

Heh, well no "Lan" in that title there. My question also had to deal with IP's and all too. It is kind of a shame that we have to buy a second copy though. I guess it's worth it - after christmas though, I'm a poor boy now :D.

Well, as long as you don't mind playing Rock Ishimans in less than 5 minutes...

What is it? $15? $25? Not all that bad, and definitely worth it I think. Course I could always just try to play all my games in under 10 minutes... it adds a whole new aspect to the game ;).

Play as long as you like. The aspect was always there if you registered.

Considering the average Ares game is 5-6 minutes( not counting people who fly around in a cruiser for 40 minutes in the asteriods ) the time limit doesn't matter all that much

------------------
look! its a signature!

If two computers are using the same code made for 1 copy, one of the computers is counted as unregistered.

You know, if you're playing on a LAN that means you're playing against another person. So you could use the registration code on your computer and make them pay for the one on theirs. After a while of playing ishiman vs non-ishiman on the same map over and over, they might decide to do just that.

Well, perhaps you could convince one of your friendly colleagues to 'loan' you a registration code for the other mac. Just a suggestion...

------------------
There are only 3 kinds of people, those who can count, and those who can't.

Looks like you've forgotten you're posting on an Ambrosia board, Joveia

Don't worry, Joveia doesn't often seem to be one who means what he says.

I should hope so.

That makes lots of things revolving around Joveia make more sense.

Or, you could... not.

Yes. Yes, I like the sound of that.

I'm very curious to know - what is in Joveia's posts before he edits them?
