Alan's great Netwars levelset has become a story! :)

Well, isn't this great? Alan's great levelset is starting to spread in the world, it's become a trilogy of books

What...? You don't think they're inspired by Alan's levelset? Of course they must be, where else would they get that name from?

And by the way... I've heard that the three "The Lord of the Rings"-movies has also become a trilogy of books...

ermmm....ok Calm down Simon.

Well, I was certain at the time that the word Netwars has been used for lots of things, since it's such a common type of name, like space wars!! (never heard of the book Netwars btw)

I'm not really sure what your getting at here.........

Here's a chess game called NetWars..

And then the stupid thing is, that I don't have Netwars yet... it's the only levelset I'm still missing... and therefore it isn't listed on my site either...

Where could I download it? Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't bother, not only is it unfinished but the players start too far away from each other......making it unplayable.

For some reason I thought each player could wander around. I didn't realise they had to share the same screen......which is totally mad considering it's net play.

Is this really true?! :-O

I haven't played over network for a very long time, but I was sure that this limitation is only true for local team-play (on the same computer/screen), but not for network play, where every player should be able to move completely independent from the other players.

It seems that I have to check this... :-o

Ahh no, I think I've misread Zomis' quote on his site........

I honestly haven't tested this online at all (nobody will play with me )......... but to quote Zomis:-

Seems good for multiplayer network mode, but for multiplayer on local computer it's impossible, since the players don't start near each other. Interesting weapons though, too bad I don't know how they work in real fights.

I have read this before, but I never took it all in . Well Zomis.... Of course it won't work locally since RND doesn't have split screen mode....

Hence the name Netwars! (that's net as in INTERNET and wars as in WARS ) Lol you gave it a 7 because it doesn't work offline ....it was never intended to be played that way!
