[SPAZ18]

Have you downloaded the 1.23 Patch and the JJ2 Server List patch? Download them HERE. (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/node.php?title=partyModeDownloads)

[thom]

:mad: argggggggggg :mad:

I have download all the things you need, but still ALL white games are pinging, and the gray games are not pinging , but I CANT JOIN THEM BOTH.
I suppose the gray games have patch 1.4 tsf.
I HAVE ''rtfm'' (read the ....; manuel) and I have read a sticky or something about pinging, but I dont have one of these problems or I cant find them.......
HOW CAN YOU PLAY THIS GAME ONLINE???????? I AM GOING TO UNINSTALL IT , WHY DO PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE SO MUCH TIME, FOR JUST PLAYING IT ONLINE?????????????????( it is an old game) :mad:

It's just a momentary thing. Sooner or later someone will host a 1.21 server which you may be able to access, just look for it.

[Grytolle]

1.21 - 1.23 is completely compatible... I suppose he has 1.20

[cooba]

1.21 - 1.23 is completely compatible... I suppose he has 1.20There were no 1.21 servers online at the time he checked, and besides it's been already said he has updated to 1.23 I think?

[Grytolle]

Thats because you didn't check the ASCII list yourself.

[PurpleJazz]

I can't join any of the online games. Is this because I have 1.24x?
And I have downloaded Jazz2 list sever patch.

[cooba]

Is this because I have 1.24x?Yes.

Hmmm... This table reminds me of A*D?

[Birdie]

Hmmm... This table reminds me of A*D?
Asd isnt the only thing that can provide information like this you know.

[Grytolle]

If it reminds yuo that means you HAVE ASD !! >(

I used telnet

:lol: :lol: :lol: Someone got nervous. And YES. One can use the GIP script or whatever as well, BUT the results won't be displayed like someone here dispayed them. ''?

[Vegito]

Are you going to make a problem of this?

[FQuist]

That format is how the <i>listserver itself</i> displays the information when something, like telnet, reads information from its port 10057. It's the listserver's <a href="http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/wiki/?List_servers#10057%20-%20ASCII%20List">native ascii output</a>. Maybe that's how ASD displays the information, but it's also how any other program that prints the listserver's output without any manipulations will display the information, such as telnet. It being this format means whatever program was used connected to port 10057 on the listserver. It gives no evidence of ASD use.

This topic should either be left to die, or there should be ontopic posts.

[PurpleJazz]

When I start my own server, nobody ever joins it even though I have TSF now instead of 1.24x and the List Server Patch. I wait about 3 hours and still no one's joined it. Or is this for a non techincal reason?

[blurredd]

Here's a quick test to see if your server is joinable. Use GIP (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/gip.php) or a program like JazzForce and check to see who's in your server. With GIP, you do this by clicking on a server name. If you can't see your own player's name within a short amount of time, then your server is most likely unjoinable.

If you can't find the name of your server, then your server either can't stay listed or isn't getting listed at all. I'm not sure how much of a problem servers getting unlisted is nowadays, but I suggest you check to see if your server is still listed every once in a while for the next time you host just to make sure that isn't the issue.

[PurpleJazz]

It is listed on j2o, but still no one joins it.

[Cpp]

If it's listed on J2O GIP then click it. If you get a screen with your name as player 1 then it's working properly. This simply means there are no players online at that time. If you get an error message then something else must be the problem. I would guess it's a router blocking your connection and players are unable to join for that reason.

Overlord is right, if you have a router you will have problems with hosting games.(I habe a router too :()
