Way to play SW with more than 2 players

[Kenny mckormick]

One day i have tried with two friend to play SW in LAN with Dukonnector...But one players cannot join the game....

I understand this when i see "P2P : 2Players only" and master/slave not supported...

So we cannot play with more than two players on SW?

You can play 3players on SW with Dosbox. And you can use Dukeconnector new
snapshot version to connect. linksys cards. some of them have problems with netbios.
So the commit.exe launch would not work. It work's with Asus motherboard onboard lan adapters just fine.

ProAsm's latest Swp version 4.0.8 now supports 3players. Only peer to peer at this time.He is working on master/slave mode. And I know he will find a way to make it
work. To launch multiplayer, just use Swp Sartup Program. All can be downloaded
here. http://www.proasm.com


Just enter this in the Oppenets ip box:

Host opponets ip box: 1st pc joining ip 2nd pc joing ip
1st pc joining opponets ip box: Host ip /n1 2nd pc joining ip
2nd pc joining opponets ip box: Host ip 1st pc joining ip /n1

Batch files:

Host pc: swp.exe /net /n1 1st pc joining ip 2nd pc joing ip
1st pc joining: swp.exe /net Host ip /n1 2nd pc joining ip
2nd pc joining: swp.exe /net Host ip 1st pc joining ip /n1

Didn't SW support 8 players?

Didn't SW support 8 players?

Yes. All of the major build-engine games supported up to 8 players in network games.

Yea, the net code was broken on jonof's sw port. And you could only connect with 2 players in peer to peer mode. Master/Slave mode is turned off. Proasm fix the peer to peer to allow 3 or more players. When he fixes master/Slave it will be very easy to connect up to 8 players.
