General Theros Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 is it possible to "spawn" a copy of the game to another comp on your network and then play the game multiplayer with just one cd? I can't find anything on it in the manual.....so any help would be great! General Theros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 im not sure but if the manual doesnt mention it it probably isnt there but that would be great:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spine Raptor Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I've played a network game before.. All you need to do is install the game on both comps with the installation CD..then you have one computer running off of the installation cd and the other with the game CD...

Paragon_Leon Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I highly doubt that would be possible. Total Annihilation let one player install a 'multiplayer spawn' from the disc, while the other did a full install. If that feature doesn't pop up at installation, it's not implemented..

Darth_Rommel Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 You can run the game without the CD, but only MP is possible... won't let you do anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordus1587246506 Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 dont listen to these nerds...... 1. do full install on computers, insert gaming disc into one of the computers (doesnt necessarily have to be host)......now you can host up to 3 humans on one disc. 2. just burn a copy for every comp.....

Paragon_Leon Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 That's it, Jordus. If that's how you respond to a warning, you just got a ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord JayVizIon Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 i highly doubt it, krkode. there's no spawning mentioned in the manual, so i doubt that you can play mp.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon_Leon Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Jordus doesn't get banned for calling Rommel a nerd, although that is one of the flames / insults that add to the pile he has in his short posting-history. Add to that promotion of illegal activities (copying the game) AFTER he was warned and a plain continuation of his previous behavior, and you have what we have now. Let me say this again (since the situation with Delphi apparently hsa sunk away from memory after only 35 minutes): we implement the forum guidelines, which are pretty standard for ANY (read that again, please: A N Y) forum on the internet. If you simply don't care and start flaming, insulting etc anyway, don't whine when you get banned. I keep explaining this, when all the while it's too crazy for words that i even have to explain it !!

safire Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Long time reader, first time poster. With one CD, you can play the game on 3 computers. I've done this a few times already. Adding a 4th computer on your LAN game requires a 2nd CD. Simple as that. As a sidenote - I don't understand the extreme strictness of this forum and it's moderators. A majority of those posting to a forum dedicated to computer games and Star Wars are nerds and geeks. I'm a geek, I confess - my job is computers, my house has 4 computers, I own numerous games. What's the deal with calling someone a nerd? Most of us tend to be of higher intellect and geeker than most, accept your nerdiness and embrace it. Regarding burning cds - I commend the moderators for trying to be honest, true, and avoiding software piracy within these forums, but really, look at reality. Who owning 4 computers like myself is going to buy 2 copies of the game? No one - I don't burn a copy of AoE or AoE II to give my friends and distribute, I copy it so that I can play it with friends on my home LAN. What's wrong with that. Whatever he did in the past by flaming or whatever, I don't know, but saying nerd or burn the cd so that you can play on your home network shouldn't be enough to ban somebody. Besides, I doubt with a direct burned copy of the game you could play the single player missions. We'll see if my message containing the words "nerd" and "burning CD" will get me banned too.

Paragon_Leon Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 haha. Did you even READ my post ?!?!? Goodness, people. How come 786 people don't have a single problem with this and a select few seem to think that simply because they think different, these boards should adapt to their will ? These are simply, generic board-rules. They apply to almost ANY board on the internet. We're not in the least 'more strict' than others. Most likely, the other boards simply don't get moderated often enough to filter these kinds of things out. This isn't about 'geeks' or 'nerds'. That post was simply the proverbial step too far after warnings given. Why not read the forum policies and then think it over ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordus1587246506 Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 you dont understnad anythign i tried to explain paragon.....so drop it you lost It's all up here for people to read. This response shows i made the right decision. And interpreting this as 'losing' or 'winning' is downright childish. I'm sorry people, but in order to stop a thread on illegal copying; this is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
