Well, I'd like to get any info on playing old games over internet, such as shadow warrior, duke nukem 3d and so on. there's no TCP/IP play supported with those, but i guess people are playing. Patches? spec. progs? I'd like to play, but since i don't use dial-up modem, there's no way i could play them. and this TEN-internet play-thing with 3drealms games COSTS MONEY, so, yeah.
any help or hints would be appreciated.
TEN was shut down a while back anyway.
I think someone wrote a new COMMIT driver to work over the internet - that is, if you can get the game to run these days.
There are a couple of Win32 ports of Duke in progress since the source code was released - one of these might well incorporate TCP/IP support at some point.
Search for and download Legacy Doom, ZDoom, or SkullTag so you can play Doom 1 & 2 These are the ones people still play. Then get Doom Connecter so you can join and make games. Some may be laggy and there aren't too many people but,meh.
You need to insert the Doom.wad to play Doom ect.
If you need a legit copy, PM me and I can give you Doom 1/2.wad..legititmently

that's not a game in the slightest TTT
it's just a chat program
with quake and duke and blood i always always wanted to play a Coop game cause i'd rather travel through a story with some friends then just shoot at them aimlessly for a few minutes
i tried it once with a friend but our connections were wicked slow and turning all the detail down and shrinking the screen helped none
Actually, CJ told me already all I need - thanks.
Finding this commit driver was a battle by itsself, after crawling through fileplanet.com, registering multiple times and disabling "show images in web pages" (fileplanet is a dial-up'pers private hell :o and I'm using two times faster LAN connection), I got finally the icsetup.exe. Works like magic.
Lucky me, it took only a minute or two... Anyone interested in playing?
I'm interested.
I just have to install win me on another partition because the game isn't working under xp >:(
Ps which game are you playing?(duke3d, shadow warrior, redneck rampage, ?)
I installed duke3d on my windows me partition.
Anybody want to play?
I'm a sure player! (duke, sw).
hey - idea! let's reach each other thru msn messenger!

Conect to this IP with Ic and there's a built in chat
ooooh if someone wants to download this with me i'll play with them

oh it's times like this i wish i still had HL installed, sven coop is too good to be true
Mr Collosal - you can play duke nukem 3d coop
hehe true i may be able to but i'd rather play half life, while i think duke is fun there are lots of aspects of the Build engine I don't really want to relive at this point in time
mouselook being one of them
Can't you play half life in coop mode?
Maybe i yould download the file, if it wasn't 122mb, and i need a patch for HL, so that's another 150mb
you can with the sven coop mod but half life has no coop mode as far as i know
other games do like quake but it's not really well implemented
i wish there were games that took it into account and by that i mean i wish people cared enough to demand it
My friend has a cable connection at work, so i'm going to ask him to download it for me, the bastard's probably going to ask me to pay for that.
Soooo, anyway, when i get it i will post here that i got it and then we can play!
It will be in about a week or so...
The problem with implementing co-op is that the levels all have to be designed so that one player can't get stuck at the back. With Duke3D, they pulled this off by always having a way back to the start of the level, but with modern games where buildings collapse behind you and so forth, it's far more difficult to ensure that none of the players get trapped somewhere.
It's a shame though yeah, co-op added a nice little dimension to games like that.
