« on: January 26, 2009, 09:54:11 PM »The "A path beyond' seems like a wonderful game.I'd love to do TF2, but not everyone has it, or even Steam for that matter. No more than eight guys are coming, probably, and more than one probably is going to be playing on a laptop.
It also looks easier on the computer yet more things to do with vehicles and all that.
You should ask for specs from the other computers to find a good game to fit that can be run from all of them.
Real men use ethernet cords.

I'm going to see if I can get a garage or something, the nice thing about those is A) It's winter in northern Virginia, you don't need refrigerators. B) Computers won't overheat. You can scream all the forget you want.
Only real problem would be getting some internets out there.
As for the game, I'm probably going to do Urban Terror.

Pretty low in terms of system req's, easy to pick up, fun as anything, Quake mod, free, we'll see.

What's a good space to have a LAN party in? I doubt I can get my parents on board with having eight computers running with 14-15 year old guys yelling stuff at each other hyped up on energy drinks and the heat of battle.
what game(s)?Probably Urban Terror, just because not everyone is going to have TF2 and it kind of sucks with eight players.

« on: January 26, 2009, 09:08:42 PM »One way or another, the computers you use in a LAN game need to be connected to a hub or router some how. This can be wireless or through Ethernet cables.Okay. Thanks.
There are methods for connecting computers without a central hub, but for gaming (and for the sake of simplicity) a router is the best choice.
If your computers are getting their internet connection from your network then it is connected to your network (obviously).
Power strips, Ethernet, stable computer, cables, good seating/desks, bottled beverages, snacks, comfortable well-lit room.
Tunes?

« on: January 26, 2009, 08:55:38 PM »For LAN your internet connection doesn't really matter. Yeah, just hook up all the computers to the router (either directly or through the Ethernet wiring in your house.)Okay, I don't have Ethernet wiring in my house. If everyone is getting internet from my network, can they still connect through LAN, or does it need to be physically wired in.
I would trust your answer a bit more if I hadn't started a LAN game between my two computers without both of them being wired through Ethernet.

I refuse to believe that this is real time; I have to assume that they took a few measurements, did some calculations and whatnot, and made each statistic increase at a semi-uniform rate.

« on: January 26, 2009, 08:42:59 PM »You'll need a decent amount of bandwidth and a reliable PC to run the server.12Mbps? I doubt that's the measure of bandwidth, but that's the most I know about my internet service.
As for reliability of the PC, would this be network stability or PC stability?
And, do all computers need to be hooked into the router with an ethernet cable, or just on that immediate network?

How many players make for happy-times? And should I try to convince my parents to let this occur at my house, or find some space elsewhere (like someone's garage).

Yes. I know that.
