We had our game Sunday and I successfully connected the two laptops via ad hoc wireless network. I had to set up static IP's for the machines but other than that the game ran flawlessly and since I was using my new laptop for the server OMG what a performance leap, even over wireless! I am still usi...

Sorry for delays in reply. I tried running the server on Vista too but, it still wont hook up. I did more research and I think there is something I have to install on the XP machine to make the protocols match. Link-Level Protocol something-or-other. Its something new Microsux came up with I will po...

I use a simple p2p network with a couple old computers to run MT and its been running ok, but I wanted to get a better laptop for the server/GM station I just got a laptop with Vista Home premium. But, It will not connect via simple p2p crossover cable network. So I tried setting up an ad-hoc wirele...

Hello I have been using an old laptop network with two laptops running XP in peer to peer network using a crossover cable to run MT for face-to-face games. On the player's client I attach a SVGA cable out to a HDTV to display things. This has worked just fine. UNTIL... I just bought a new laptop and...

It was time for another donation anyway!

Excellent! Along those same lines, it would be great to be able to change the "scale" of the measuring tool to show yards, meters or even miles instead of just feet So if I want to make a regional map the players can take their own measurements across large areas of land By the way, what w...

Greetings Its been a while since I have visited the forums, and I havent kept up with all the DEVs, and I am still using MT 1.2.b32 I want to make a large forest map covering a couple square miles of terrain. I want to make clusters of trees/obstacles and place them as you might do in a maze, and pa...

Thank you for the tips for the techniques. Several good answers are posted and I will experiment with them this weekend. Game is next weekend so I have some time to diddle and tweek. The objects such as tables and chairs will not be manipulated by the players so an overlay of all the objects assembl...

I have an upcoming scenario where the adventurers are in the ruins of an ancient Elvish fortress. They happen upon a large room, and except for rubble, and detritus, they see nothing unusual. But then (due to prearranged circumstances), they see a ghostly apparition of what this room once was, an In...

Is there a limit to the number of items that should be in the path of the Image explorer? I have several folders with numerous PNG's in them and not all of them will display. If an item I want is farther down the list than will be displayed, I have to renumber it to appear in the Image Explorer Is t...

Ok thanks

Im making smaller maps so they should load up fine from now on

I have a question regarding the placement of maps on a player client laptop. I read where maps could be placed on a player local machine to improve map loading I have tried to do this but apparantly I am not getting the steps right. To my knowledge if I place all the assets on the exact same paths, ...

Its a network in its most rudimentary form, a crossover cable. What perplexes me is that the network seemed to function just fine here at home with the sample maps and one map I was toying around with. I really dont understand it either. But thats a tech issue I have to resolve here and not a MT iss...

Today was the first time I used MT at our game session. First the Issues- I could not get MT to run over my peer to peer two laptop network using my (large) maps. I have a feeling it is not a problem with MT as much as it is the slow cons, or rather the lack of processing power of my second laptop. ...
