Title: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Chris Belle on November 19, 2002, 12:57 AM
If anyone is interested, I'd like to start a GB League for this site.  Right now I only have GB, and not the Clone Campaigns expansion.  Let me know and we will work something out.

I have Galactic Battlegrounds with Clone Campaigns, and if you ever want to play a match let me know.  It does take quite a long time to play online, so you really have to allow yourself plenty of time to play.  Just an FYI.  It would be fun though.

What nights would you be available?  I'm currently waiting for a copy of Clone Campaigns, hope to have it soon.  Let me know and we will work out a time, hopefully this week.

Once you get your copy of Clone Campaigns let me know.  I've never hosted a game online, but I've played against others online.  Some people can be total pricks... why do I say that?

Well, one time I was playing for almost 4 hours where there were a total of 8 players (including me).  It was down between myself and the host, and she up-and-quit the game we were playing.  She did that because I was going to win.  I was so ticked off about that, and that was the last time I've played online.

However, I would love to play against others here.  Name the time and hopefully I'll be there!

If you guys are still playing GB I have both the expansion and the original I would love to play.  Give me a time and ill see what i can do.

I'm always willing to play GB w/clone campaigns over the Net, but you must have high-speed internet access.  I have DSL, so you'd either have to have cable modem or DSL service.  If you don't it plays WAYYYY too slow.

I'd like to try getting a game going soon.  Send me an email when you want to play.  Evenings are usually good for me.

Dude I might take you up on that, I have a modem though at the moment, I'll have DSL in July.  Is that a problem?

If not, I've got time Wednesday night for this.

Kill the Commander!

Dressel, I have DSL and I played against someone in a modem.  It absolutely positively sucks and it's slow as hell playing it that way.  It's not worth it.  I'll play with anyone that has a DSL line or cable modem for you Internet connection.  Just shoot me a PM when you want to play.

Oh, and I'm always the Trade Federation.  8)

I'll have DSL in early July.

Until then...
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Paul on August 1, 2003, 11:15 PM
Guys, I've got DSL now and would love to get some games going.  I'm terrible at it, but oh well.  I like playing just the same...So if you guys are still playing drop me a line.
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: dustrho on August 2, 2003, 12:06 PM
Well, we now have 3 people who can play this on a high-speed internet connection.  I'm available just about any time... just as long as my wife isn't using the computer for her online schooling.

With that said, whenever someone is willing to play online lets just shoot each other an instant message (preferrably using AOL's instant messaging program, since that is what I only use).  If you don't have that program just shoot a PM or email then.

I definitely want to play this online, and I can't wait to start playing.  My team will always be the Trade Federation.   8)  What teams would you guys want to be?

I might be able to play at that time.  Is that in the morning or evening, because if it's night I won't be home.  LMK.

Post by: dustrho on September 17, 2003, 08:03 PM
When I play I'm usually the Trade Federation.  Love those Battle Droids and Destroyer Droids!  I never play with cheats, and I like to start from scratch.  Make you have to work your way to victory.  Also, I'll only play with you (or anyone else) if you have either DSL or cable-modem high-speed internet access.
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Vator on September 18, 2003, 12:02 PM

This will be my first time aginst a human player,should be fun.

I will try to be online at 9:00 or 10:00am (Central time).  Do you happen to have AOL Instant Messenger (http://www.aim.com)?  You can shoot me an instant message at dustrho123.

Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: dustrho on September 20, 2003, 10:03 AM
It is 9am (Central time) right now, and I'm ready to play.  I'm only going to be available to play for a little bit, so hopefully you'll hop online soon.

Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: dustrho on September 20, 2003, 11:33 AM
Check your Yahoo email account... I just sent you an email there with my I.P. address so you can join me.
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: dustrho on September 20, 2003, 11:40 AM
It's now 10:39am (Central) and I will stay online for another 15-20 minutes.  Hopefully I'll see you soon.
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Vator on September 20, 2003, 11:59 AM
ok,see ya there!

Chris?You don't appear to be showing up under that Ip address
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: dustrho on September 20, 2003, 12:09 PM
Give it another try... I turned off my firewall software.  Maybe that will help out.
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Vator on September 20, 2003, 12:13 PM
still dosen't show anything....maybe I'm not doing this right

I selected the first option for connection(I'm almost certain its correct)then I did show game,entered the IP address from the e-mail and then no game shos up,let me try this again...
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: dustrho on September 20, 2003, 12:15 PM
You're doing it right, but it might be my router that's causing the problem.  If you want to try creating it give it a shot, but shoot me an PM with your I.P. address.
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Vator on September 20, 2003, 12:19 PM
how do you get your IP address?(I'm no computer god...)
nevermind...found it
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: dustrho on September 20, 2003, 12:22 PM
Here's what you do...

1)  Click on the CREATE button.

2)  Just about the CANCEL button is another button called IP.

3)  Click on the IP button, and there it will give you your IP address.  Write that down, and then send that to me in a PM.
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Vator on September 20, 2003, 12:24 PM
done...now I just wait for you right?
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: dustrho on September 20, 2003, 12:25 PM
It's not working for me either.  Are you using a router for your internet access like me?
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Vator on September 20, 2003, 12:27 PM
whats a router?
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: dustrho on September 20, 2003, 12:31 PM
A router is somewhat similar to a hub or switch, allowing you to connect multiple computers to your one internet connection.  Some routers come with it's own built-in firewall protection.

I'm guessing this is the culprit of our problems.   :-\
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Vator on September 20, 2003, 12:33 PM
not much we can do then...I could try again sometime on my other computer(its a good hours drive tho)


Anyway...back to scenario editor...got a really nice Clone Wars battle going on,nearly one thousand droids and one death star! 8)not even a fight! :)
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: dustrho on September 20, 2003, 12:34 PM
Maybe someone here can give us some suggestions on how to get it to work.   :-\
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Vator on September 20, 2003, 12:38 PM
maybe,but who?
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: dustrho on September 20, 2003, 12:40 PM
Anyone that has played it before.  I'll do some research on this later too.  Keep in touch, and we'll try this again.
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Vator on September 20, 2003, 12:47 PM
ok,I'll check back here in about an hour...
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: dustrho on September 20, 2003, 01:24 PM
I'm not going to be able to play now for the rest of the day, because my wife needs to use the desktop computer (I'm typing this on my notebook).  We'll have to try again on another day.

I don't play it too much now. It will most likely be a rare occurrence to see me playing it now that I've gotten Empire at War. Battlegrounds used to be my favorite game before Battle Front came out.

i played it on news years eve, my wife was sick so i just played.

in other news the msn online playing option is gone, they finally closed it, if anyone wants to play just message me and I'm always up for a ip vs ip game.

I may have to take you up on that offer sometime.

I haven't played it in ages and never actually owned the game, but borrowed and beat a copy...  I'm pondering now buying the bundle cheap to play through when I get bored and want something different.  I never really liked GB all that much...  The gameplay was sort of simplistic, the graphics were attrocious considering the time it was released...  It had some charm though and more of a story than some games out there so I'm compelled to own it because of that.

Though I got an upgrade (out of necessity) before X-Mas and dl'd the demo to EAW and now I'm wanting that...  haha.  It never ends.
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Matt_Fury on January 2, 2007, 05:46 PM
I have not played in quite a while.  Since Empire at War, I haven't had the desire.  It doesn't help that I prefer FPS style games.
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Greg on June 16, 2008, 11:04 AM
Would anyone be up for an online match sometime soon? I plan on putting this game back on my computer, mostly because I'm bored with Empire at War. Anyone interested in playing just shoot me a PM... I'm online a lot, so anytime is pretty much good for me.

I'd be interested.

I've played a TON, but never online vs. a live opponent.

All I need is the 1st edition and the CW expansion pack software, plus my DSL connection, right?
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Greg on June 18, 2008, 09:57 PM
Wow, someone replied.

Yeah, from what I remember you just exchange IP addresses with the person you play with. Depending on your preferences, it might be best to avoid the Clone Campaigns expansion. Air Cruisers get very annoying for me, but that's completely up to you.
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Darth_Anton on June 25, 2008, 09:39 AM
I might not be horribly uninterested as well. It's been a while for me too.I have played on line with a friend once. Made everything much more exciting.
Title: Re: Galactic Battlegrounds
Post by: Greg on June 25, 2008, 01:01 PM
Cool stuff. Shoot me a PM if you want to work something out. I still am kinda bad at the game due to only playing it again a couple of weeks ago, but an online game would still be a lot of fun.
