H3 Multiplayer Server up

[Stalintc]

Yes its a shame about the ending but it was an excellent game. You can see from Hermans picture my last 3 tornados about to get wasted! [:(]

Here are some pics of my own

[Stalintc]

And heres a shot of my last tornados about to be pwned, with my two AEW aircraft running for the St Mawgan.

Mark Admiral dropped through and couldn't resist the temptation of battle! [:D]

We played Lone Wolf with the PlayersDB. Thanks for the scenario, Dave Steinmeyer! It was so much fun, we played it, again!

Thanks to Tony and HarpGamer for the use of their server! [8D]

[Stalintc]

Another game on Tony's server, myself Jan and Herman played a nice scenario for sneaky players and sneaky tactics

Heres a shot of me nearly getting to the *SAFE ZONE* a while before we had a crash

Good old landscape acoustic masking bwahaha, might have been the longer route, but it was the safest!

The server at Stratsims has been updated to the 3.7.1 attempt 1 beta version of Harpoon 3. Also, the newest PDB version has been loaded and a couple of scenarios Herman and Taitennak sent me. If a HHQ representative wants to send me the beta of DB2k I'd be happy to update the DB2k server here.

The ANWDB server is no longer running as I'm using that processor to get the server ready for it's work use here at my office. If you want to play on ANWDB, drop me a line and we'll arrange a time.

Thanks Tony,

That db is still in beta so the scenarios haven't been updated yet. Will get with you when we get there but for now probably not a real great idea. Thanks for the offer though[:)]

Well, a bit sad to say the server is back to 3.7.0.0 after 3.7.1.0 difficulties, still, come play!

We welcomed a new fellow into the world of Harpoon3 Multi-player. Shelback dropped in for a game and we managed to get through Dawn Patrol.

However, I got dropped from the server when we tried a second scenario. So, Shelback ended up blasting a bunch of uncontrolled 'target' drones. [:D]

Hopefullly, we will get another chance to go head-to-head in the near future. [;)]

Thanks again to HarpGamer for hosting a server with 3.7.0 software! [8D]

Eric (Accuracy13) and I spent the night challenging the ownership of the Spratley Islands in the scenario, "Whose Islands are these?" from the ODb.

An excellent game of cat and mouse with me ending up as fish bait after a well fought battle. If only my missiles had been a bit more accurate... [:D]

Thanks, again to Tony and HarpGamer for hosting the server. [8D]

[hermanhum]

I think that we had a great session, today. We played a four-sided game with one observer. Although it did end in a minor crash, it was nice while it lasted and fun for all involved.

Thanks to Eric (Accuracy13), Choowee, Jan Masterson, and Shelback for a fun time. [:)]

We also welcomed Rhondalynn Brown into the fold with her first Harpoon MP experience. Hopefully, she will be back often and soon. Our very own Amanda Cunningham. [:D]

The HarpGamer server certainly got a work out. We also put it through 4 more ASW scenarios. Thanks to everyone for dropping in and thanks to HarpGamer for the use of their server. [8D]

[TonyE]

Well folks, the day was long delayed but I have all of my work services transferred over to the new server (the one running H3). However, I found that it can do a decent job of handling both H3 server duties and my regular server duties. I may bring back one or two instances of the H3 server in two weeks or so. Anyway, if you want to play on the Stratsims server, best do it before I shut it down in about 4 hours.

[hermanhum]

It's been an incredible 8 weeks of pure enjoyment.  I know that I speak for anyone and everyone who has played a game via the server over the last 8 weeks when I say, thanks to Tony and HarpGamer. [:)]

We've played hundreds of scenarios and welcomed dozens of new members to the Harpoon community.  This by no means is the end of MP with HarpGamer.  Just join up with us on the HG chat room and we will find another means to play MP.  [8D]

I confirm that it was fery funny to play in group like that.
I hope that teh whole community will try and enjoy multiplayers game, it really give the game a second live!

Thanks to Tony for his generous host.

Jan

[Stalintc]

Yes I must agree!

Thank you very much Tony for your support to multiplayer. We have had an excellent time on that server and it was definately worth your effort, we got alot of fun out of it!

Cheers

I got hammered... I mean "Hermanned" last night in my first MP experience with Harpoon.

Thanks Tony for hosting the server!

I'm going to end up with a real complex one of these days.... [:'(]

Hi all,
 
I'm relatively new with Harpoon 3 ANW and the Multiplayer game. I used to play Harpoon classic with great pleasure. I'm very happy to see that the A.I. can be replaced by real people and worthy opponents. But I was not able to connect to the server mentionned in this thread (72.21.228.42:14342). I'm sure my firewall is not the guilty part, as I saw that the server was down (pinging out). Are there any MP new servers up & running? And should I patch my game or not?
 
Please let me know!
 
Thanks,
 
Herman

The server previously mentioned in this thread is not currently available. We hope (and pray [;)]) for its return in the near future.

As yet, I don't know know of anyone currently hosting a server. If you like, you can host a game yourself if you allow your computer to act as both server and client. That way, other folks can sign onto your server and play against you.

The process is detailed in the FAQ at the top of this section:

How to set up and ANW Server

I DO NOT RECOMMEND that you install the Beta-Patch 3.7.1 if you are interested in MP play. See:

Bug Report: CTD when torpedo fired

If you decide to act as a server, let others know so that we can give you a game. [:)]

Welcome aboard, shipmate! [8D]
