Won't you need Hamachi to do this? It only seems to support LAN play.

[Areyar]

Does it work?
anyone played together yet?

I'd love getting my @$$ kicked by termies (or termites).

[Cthulhu]

It might need Hamachi, but I don't think it will.  We'll see.  The Black Templars mod is done and can be downloaded here.  To use it go to View>Themes>Black Templars.

Spoiler: Screenshot (click to show/hide)

It looks best in 42x42 mode (Accessible by pressing Ctrl-O).  The default mode is too small to look nice.  If there's anything obviously wrong with it, tell me and I'll see about fixing it.  Or you could fix it, since you have it now.  If it runs out of downloads, tell me and I'll re-upload it. 

Also, I'm hosting now.  If you're on and want to try, join.  New IP is 74.215.124.24

If it doesn't work say something and we'll try hamachi.

[Areyar]

This the game you are promoting?
(or the 80's realtime DOS variant by EA)

The former is nice if you know the boardgame, the latter is just too hectic to be enjoyable . . . and I don't see how it would support network play.

[Cthulhu]

Neither.  I'm promoting this.  Those are both single-player, this one is multi-player.

[Areyar]

Ah. nice, downloading.

[Gunner-Chan]

Does this one include the expansion? As that was the only version I got to play on a real board.

[Cthulhu]

I'm not sure, what's in the expansion?

[Gunner-Chan]

I don't remember TOO well but I think it added more space marine teams and some new objectives and rooms. I think there might of been more varietys of tyranids too.

[Cthulhu]

Genestealers are the only kinds of Tyranids in the game, as for other expansion stuff I'm not sure.

[Areyar]

It introduced spykers.
genestealer hybrids of varying degrees of (psychic)humanity and a big super psychic patriarch.
To counter them Grey Knights.

As well as new missions, objectives and room templates, such as long 3wide hallways.

edit: Seems this game is based on second edition, while I played first (I remember clearly selfdestructing flamers).

[Cthulhu]

None of that is in here.

[Areyar]

Attempting to connect. . . .
Is the templar mod required to join?

edit: nope. doesn't seem to want to finish being in the process of connecting.
Now what is this Tamachi thing...let's see.

[Cthulhu]

It shouldn't be.

Hamachi is a virtual LAN program.  I'll set up a server.

The server is QSpaceHulk, and the password is bay12

Once we've got some people connected we'll work on getting a game started.

[Areyar]

ah. select 'newgame' > 'network game'
then select 'connect to player' > enter IP
select mission.

a game starts. oddly a genestealer appeared on top of one of my T's.

Hmm. Either someone is having trouble placing a single blip or I'm playing SP and the game has crashed. [command unknown: get case 322]

----edit. didnt see your post
So you are setting up a server with Hamachi to play a (virtual) LAN game?

It is getting a bit late here. . . I might not actually be able to play today anymore.
