Clover 10 Posted May 14, 2009 Hi everyone..Ive always loved OFP- Ive played it since i was little but i never played online before yesterday. It was all fun, me and my friend played a few co-op missions..by far my fav.. So i thought i would make my own..i spent 5 hours (literary) making a map, scripting it, setting way points, objectives..everything...i wanted it to be really fun... But when i hosted a MP game...he couldn't find it...we waited and waited, but he said it never came up... Well he tried to host one, and i couldn't find it! We cant even find out where to make the game's name.. =/ Could someone please help us? Is this problem normal? i know on Gamespy in RTW it always messed with you..

rellikki 7 Posted May 15, 2009 Simply press the "New" button in the multiplayer menu. After that, your friends can find you by giving them your IP. See here after creating the server: http://www.whatismyip.com/. The IP must be put in the address field after clicking "Remote" in the multiplayer menu. Note that the host doesn't need to do this - all he needs to do is just push the "New" button in the multiplayer menu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-martin- 10 Posted May 17, 2009 You can download a program called Hamachi. Create a network there and tell your mates to join it. Then in OFP select "Mulitplayer" and switch to "LAN" and press "NEW" and choose your mission. In hamachi your friends need to right click your name and select "Copy Adress", then they should start OFP and go to "Multiplayer" choose "LAN" and select "remote" and then paste the adress they copied from Hamachi by pressing CTRL + V in to the IP box. Then they should click OK or COnnect and you should be able to play :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
