I eagerly await things like this showing up in the community fortress section.

[Eoganachta]

I have got to try this out sometime.When I have time, maybe. I can imagine this working like two dwarves trying to pen and chain the same animal!

[uwaiawu]

I'd really like to try this, but I'm kinda stuped on to how set it all up. Either that or I am just too blind to find the proper links .

Can somebody post a quick walkthrough on what software you need and how to set it up? That'd be awesome.

[Tetragenic]

Same as above.


Multiplayer DF? You must surely sit on the right hand of Armok, holding his bowl of plump helmets for such a dwarf deed.

[Dutchling]

I joined the team group.
Can you spam event messages if you are starting a game? That would be helpful.

How to run multiplayer:
Step 1: Get the file from Carnes, as he's the one running the server.  Steam group is best method.
Step 2: Run this file (executable .bak)
Step 3: Join the game via the terminal interface.
Step 4: Re-learn how to play in text-based ASCII (not tile-based faux-ASCII) without Therapist, while staving off the 4 other madmen who are working to sabotage your efforts.

Dear Carnes, any chance of getting the file as Girlinhat said ? I should point out I am a good DF player, aka "Food Master" (in my last fort we had over 300 masterful wild dog tallow roasts).

PS. Armok smiles upon you for this.

Yeah, np.  Previously i was only giving the info to people who joined the group and asked in chat.  Not that i don't want people to have it.. i would like everyone to have it.. but not everyone will fit on this one fort.  So it was kind of a hurdle people had to cross to get access.  The first joiners were made admins and they can admin other people if they want.  But anyone can post events. 

I'd still like to get people on steam for the voice and event system, but some people are having trouble because steam doesn't give you full access if you don't own any "paid for" games : /  So i'll pm the info to those people, no problem.  I think as long as we throttle new comers a bit, we won't have any problems.  I'm also going to setup a second (maybe third) server tonight, exactly like the first.  If anyone else wants to setup a server, that would be excellent too!

TL;DR - if you can't use steam, i'll pm it to you.  If you have steam, join the group chat and almost anyone can give you the info.

I think it's likely that more of these forts will popup soon too.  It's just too fun

[Tetragenic]

No Steam fo me, I'm afraid. Mostly want to watch atm.

[carabide]

Like the above, I have a Steam account, but no paid games. I also just want to watch the humor and insanity.

[Lielac]

Curious, Steam's not letting me in the chat, would like to watch the lulz.

[612DwarfAvenue]

Yeah, you need a paid-for game on your account, free games don't count.

That means we can only use the comments section, not the open chat. Please PM the the address and instruction on exactly which PuTTY file i need to download, because there seems to be several on the page?

[Kerosene]

I'd love to see it divided up with burrows, each player gets 1/4 of the map or something, but it sounds like it might be too chaotic to work though. Dwarven civil war?

[Corneria]

A big bump to this thread; the server is still up, but almost no one is on any more.

[Taranli Maren]

Just tried this out today.  Very interesting, though slow.  I didn't get to try it with someone else in the game.  Maybe some other time.

If the speed could be improved (run in on a faster connection?), it would be a neat way to run a succession game.
