I don't think there's any real danger of any kind here.

That silly program Hamachi changed all my network settings and disabled my connection to my router. Why did you guys choose such a silly program? :(
You probably saw the Hamachi network, as Action explained. :)

I'm not sure about installing it on this pc.

It's alright if you don't want to do it kor, but it does nothing else then assign you a secondary network IP to use for our game, and to keep everything nice and organised!

Aye.. I meant the day.

Sorry I'll edit that.. I said "today is the day, and for some of you in a couple of minutes" since it wasnt the 15th yet.. :p

I'll change it now.. Yes it's still the given times.

it all sounds very complex, to complex for my limited intelligence.  Doubt folks would enjoy having me in the multi game anyway since I'm not competitive & dislike that sort of thing.

Hey kor... Have you tried getting Hamachi? Honestly it's not hard at all. I beg you to just try and see what happens. If you really can't figure it out it's okay.

We don't need you to be competitive. We just would like you to be there to see if everything works! :)

Honestly Kor, the only thing we are going to be really doing is running around randomly and chatting, so there isn't going to any sort of competition or even skills required. Also, the more people there are, the better!

I will have a server running already when this event starts up so you're welcome to join me at anytime!

My Hamachi name is Sonata, so you know who to look for. :)

[EDIT] sorry if I worded that badly.  I mean I'm hosting a game.  I don't have a dedicated server running the game all the time. :p

So, how do I use Hamachi to get into the game? Just turn on the game, hit "join," and your name will be sitting there?

I basically just want to know exactly what to do, step by step.

Sure thing:

Step 1) Run Hamachi and join the server that Mumbling set up.  
*NOTE* It works much more reliably if you run hamachi *before* running the LBT game.

Step 2) Next to the username "Sonata" in hamachi (that's me and I'm hosting a game), you will see a series of numbers called an IP Address.  Write down or remember those numbers exactly.

Step 3) Start the LBT game and click "Join".

Step 4) Where it says "IP Address", click on that box and type *exactly* what you see (the numbers and dots) next to my hamachi name.  Next, give yourself a name by clicking on the Name box and typing.  

Step 5) Press ENTER or click Start in the bottom-right corner.  It will take you to the Character select screen if you successfully connected.  You will be left on the Join Game screen if it could not connect.  If it didn't connect, message me on hamachi by right clicking Sonata and clicking "Chat".  I'll see what I can do from there

Step 6)
Choose either:
A longneck
Threehorn
Swimmer
Spiketail

as your character.  Your name will appear around the bottom middle of the screen here.  

*NOTE* Flyers and fastrunners will not work properly in multiplayer since we don't have models for them yet.

Step 7)
Click Start and you'll see us in the game :D

*NOTE*
Press / to start chatting.
Press ENTER to send your chat message to everyone else in the game.

Tried Hamachi but it doesn't work for me.  I'll uninstall it.

don't worry Kor, the results were...not what we were expecting. We are probably going to have another scheduled meeting when it gets fixed.

Oh, btw, Action just released a new patch thats amazing, everyone should have it  :lol .
