Kozak Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 Just an idea for the FAQ. Btw my last post in any thread started by Mr X Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldy Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 OK lets start the ball rolling : How to start a Network Game How to join a Network Game Troubleshooting for these items, eg Firewalls, Ports to use, Routers etc. Advice on How to start a clan (Advice on what some of the successful clans have done when starting) How to join a clan. (Links to Application Threads). So come on guys, thats a start, lets hear what else you want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exchampionsfan Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 remember - they can be really basic (to you anyway). Things like 'What is a clan?' (which has already been done) are as helplful as troubleshooting etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozak Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 I will email you mods about the way you wanna have a FAQ. A FAQ with lot of text is OK of course, but I think we need to have a sort of CMO-forum guide. I made a bit of an example of that. I will send that WORD-document by email. Its a fast scretch so there must be rewritten some things ofcourse and the linkages aren't included. So newbies can identify themselves fast so they know what to do at this forum. This all because I think most newbies don't take the time to read lot of text. Let me know what you think about this.

[This message was edited by Mr X on 07 January 2004 at 18:31.]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hello. I am a forum newbie although I've played CM since CM2 days. I have a question for the FAQ which is a question I have anyway: can you convert a "standard" CM4 game into a network game? To explain: a friend and I have a 2-player game on his PC in Dublin. But we want to be able to play online using his PC or mine (in Birmingham) as a server. Can we do this? We are three seasons in so don't want to start a new game! Thanks, Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
