however, there is something wrong with the public playlists, we cannot find eachother
27.07.2010 06:53

yeah i can see the ip/pc's are connecting dont know why you cant see each other must be something on the server, maybe i need to post in the lateriwnet forum

are you using the latest build and auto update http://alteriw.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=8296
27.07.2010 09:38
Posted by Whoops
the problem we have is that we cant see other players joining lobby
27.07.2010 09:40
Posted by Stiuart
so everyone have to use tunngle even if they can connect the server without any 3rd party ?
27.07.2010 09:42
Posted by Whoops
no we are testing two different types of connections and there are two servers
27.07.2010 09:43

probably need to post in the alteriwnet forum, works half way as it seems
27.07.2010 09:44
Posted by Whoops
tested with james last night, both can connect to mw2.epicdot.com but we cant see each other, when he tried with his brother today he can connect using console but still cant see each other in the lobby does not make sense
27.07.2010 09:59
Posted by Stiuart
aha , was connecting after changing ini to mw2.epicdot.com , but since I have no idea if anyone is there I cant check that one , but true weird that it doesnt find people in lobby
27.07.2010 11:32

nah not working, just tested with two pc's and they cant see each other but both can connect to the matchserver i will post in the alteriwnet forum

acutally tunngle does not work yet i know why firewall blocking it i will fix later tonight i tested this setup earlier in the week so i know it works
27.07.2010 11:37

so if its sure that this solution works and will be fixed tonight , anyone will be ON for game or two ?

need more time i want it to be native without this 3rd party program, whilst we wait for that just use the default server.alteriw.net and use console to connect to a host/lobby, that should work fine
27.07.2010 13:22
Posted by Whoops
tunngle and remebo do work if people want to use it but i want it to be native *smile
27.07.2010 14:09

Blackwood , head and whoever uses alterIW , get your asses here so we would play few maps :]
27.07.2010 14:41
Posted by Whoops
use default alteriwnet server and then do console connect to the best host
27.07.2010 14:47
Posted by Whoops
i have switched of the dedicated matchserver for now, too much of a security issue and problems too
27.07.2010 14:47
Posted by Whoops
if we use tunngle and one starts a private match, you can do from console connect 7.XXX and you will join
27.07.2010 14:58

due to the security flaw i need to find another pc with nothing on it to run the matchmaking server haha

try 7.5.148.232 on tunngle but my nat is strill restrict and ive open ports

when playing with random people on alterIW server it seems pretty decent , but when we tried it last time with 4 players most of you lagged
27.07.2010 15:29
Posted by James
it was good no lag : ) much better that remobo, i advise all to get MW2 on aIW and Tunngle : 0
27.07.2010 15:36
Posted by Whoops
if you connect directly like we did, we should get good speed and with it we can use admin commands and kick people off hehe

ok have tested now, can do a direct connection without any emulator speed is good with no lag

Players on alterIW are really experienced ... 2 maps ago some idiot called me WH , cuz ... he had a Ninja PRO and Cold Blooded and I killed him with ... PREDATOR ...
28.07.2010 10:13
Posted by Stiuart
I was trying so hard to share a tactic with him , that if he uses cold blooded and PREDATOR is coming he should stay in one spot and not run like a sheep on fire ... but he was smarter , cuz "You cant see me with predator if I have coldblooded"
28.07.2010 10:28

bad news folks, aIW have put up another message saying they are closing down : ( because of hackers but im not sure if they will shut down but it looks more like they are going to this time
28.07.2010 10:42
Posted by Stiuart
Well with all those cheaters and idiots out there , I'm not surprised , and since Whoops has some ideas how to start a server (even LAN) we dont really need alterIW ?
28.07.2010 10:43
Posted by Stiuart
at least I dont need it , since the only thing you are getting by connecting there is more and more frustration thanks to stupid kids
28.07.2010 11:19
Posted by Whoops
portgas, upload speed is important when hosting games not download, the more upload speed (real speed) the better and less lag. 832 kb/s should be able to cope with 8-12 players, each player pulling 55/60 kb/s to/from host on average
28.07.2010 13:56

where is the announcement that they are shutting down? well if they do fine... dont need them and if they do shutdown i will hunt down C++ programmers and what not to continue to do some worj on the project, looking at the emulator they released - they really need some decent coders
28.07.2010 14:09

yeah the auto-updater. well its updating fine now. Its at 87%.
28.07.2010 14:12

stiuart he is more or less shouting, help i need some advance coding help etc. ref cheaters what does he expect? focus on the dedicated server and let admins deal with cheaters! DOH!
28.07.2010 14:19
Posted by Whoops
support? he wants this and he wants that, give me a break, no different from here where i pour in money to keep services online and nobody donates, that is something he has to expect, if he cant deal with that then he should stop

Whoops - the best thing that he whines about everyone and at the end ... "I wouldnt trust any of you"
28.07.2010 14:21

person with attitude like his should never start a "project" like alterIW
28.07.2010 14:26

if he doesnt trust people and dont want them to help , he shouldnt be whining about not getting any help from them

COD4 is about to die, 5000 thousands less servers last 2 months, lets move on to MW2 hehe I have created a new mw2 group if you are interested in mw2 please join
29.07.2010 03:03
Posted by PortgasDAce
its to soon for cod4 to die, and its good to be less 5000 servers to us
29.07.2010 06:21
Posted by PortgasDAce
i think we should keep mw2 server private, was a nice game yesterday
29.07.2010 10:25
Posted by blackwood-You
HI!Yes I agree that some things should stay private,the game last night was great(altough somebody used wh -hahhahaha),but than again we neeed more people
29.07.2010 10:39
Posted by PortgasDAce
but yeah we can open the group to a few more players, but not to many cause server might crash XD
29.07.2010 11:55
Posted by Stiuart
James - yup , Whoops is trying to get there , and about the server being opened , we could always have 1 server/person to host private matches just for trusted/mature people to avoid whining/flaming
29.07.2010 11:57
Posted by Stiuart
like yesterday , and if we will get to that dedi server it could public ;] By the way , no idea who cheated yesterday : P
29.07.2010 12:30

on a normal adsl connection, should be able to host 8 players, any more and lag may start, james you lag a little try to switch off any torrent etc (if any) and nobody else using your connection
29.07.2010 13:02
Posted by Stiuart
I'm pretty sure James is getting lags thanks to someone else using his connection (sharing net to few PC with family/etc) , since yesterday you said that your brother is also playing at the moment , you would have to tell rest of family to leave PCs in peace when you are playing

stiuart the auto map will only work if i run the server (emulator) and not the normal host match
30.07.2010 14:35
Posted by Whoops
im thinking of putting it on a different pc with nothing on it (due to security) that means it can be on 24/7 and we can then search/ create games similar to the original one, it will auto hunt for best host
