As far as I understand there is no special mechanism for gaming, not like the ex MSN game zone.

We just decide to meet at a specific time and, through any communication facility, such as a common messenger, we exchange useful information for connecting the game. IP address should be enough.

I'm ready Mad

We have to inform the forum about our battle before it takes place and the result after.

so if you have my ip we can just start a game through the multiplayer section in the game instead of going through gamespy? because for some reason I just can't get that to work. I'd love to play though if someone wants to host a game.

I think should be enough, no need of gamespy. What we have to do is initial and final reporting for scoring purposes. If you see

http://www.tournamenthouse.com/forum/index.php

in particular "THouse CC5 Rules & Regs" you find the following:

Quote:

1.) Maps.
Only need to offer one map - but offering 2 or 3 maps is preferable as it gives the joiner some choice. Offering 2 or 3 maps ensures that the 'pet' map advantage is reduced.You can find THouse suggested maps here

2.) Joiner's Decisions
Joiner to look at forcepool and choose sides. Can view map and deploy area in Mapview screen. No need to enter into main deploy screen just to see map.

3.) The SPY 'trick'
When both players pick their units and are ready to start the battle they inform each other that they are ready. Then the hoster MUST press next FIRST. To ensure no cheating can occur with the SPY 'trick', the hoster MUST press next FIRST. If the joiner forgets and presses first, the Joiner is at fault and so no dispute can be raised about this subject. REMEMBER: As a joiner wait until your host has pressed next FIRST!

4.) Victory conditions
Computer to decide victor at end of battle with VICTORY LOCATION POINTS. (Regardless of whether it is meeting or defense/attack map) VLs have different point values depending on whether they are Primary, secondary or tertiary VLs (The bigger the writing, the more points they are worth):
Primary = 3 points
Secondary = 2 points
Tertiary = 1 point

End of battle occurs when:
A) Time runs out
B) Force morale gets too low
C) When all enemy forces are destroyed

These variables are set by the host, and are agreed upon by the joiner on starting the game. "Oh I didnt realise" or "I must have missed it" are no excuse.

Therefore there is no intermediary host, at least it seems to me.

Okay I found this...I don't know if thats what I'm looking for or not but

use the default multiplayer function. TCP ip

here are some instructions

Guest

First you turn on CCV the normal way
Then you go to multiplayer and click TCP
then type in (other players IP number) where it says \"Host IP\"
then click \"Search for Games\" you\'ll see his game, double click it and your in, thats it.

Host

First you turn on CCV the normal way
Then you go to multiplayer and click TCP
then click \"Host Game\"
then look down bottom where it says \"Host IP\"
minimize the game and tell the other player the number so they can connect, then maximize the game and wait for them.

I can host the game if someone can tell me how to minimize it without closing it out.

Okay we are in very different time zones, it's 2pm there now and it's 7am here now. Do you stay up late? I'd like to play around 10 or 11 your time, later than that if possible because I usually sleep during the day, so 10 or 11 your time would be 3pm or 4pm my time. What do you think?

also do you have msn or aim?, that would make it alot easier if we decide to play.

Just use the alt-tab keys together to switch from one program to another.

Do you have a messenger? I use Yahoo and MS
