1) Find some people to play with: Most virtual fleets use ICQ to connect to games. If you don't have it, get it. You might want to join one of those virtual fleets and add all members to your ICQ list. The members list is usually found on the fleets homepages.
In case of ICQ failure and for meetings people use usually IRC
2) Decide who is going to be host: This has to be a
person who has the fastest computer. You should also agree on the ROE and
elect a reporter (if this is a reported mission).
Sometimes it may be useful to have the winner be the reporter especially in long
games.
You also should agree on teams (if any) and mission. Make sure everybody has this
mission on his Computer.
Notes the Reporter should take:
All Players callsigns
What Fleet/ SubFleet / Boat number all players have
Who hosts
What time the mission took place
What mission was played
Teams (if any)
Who killed who
A brief outline of the game
3) Get the host's IP address: This is done in ICQ by
right clicking on the host's name in the ICQ list and selecting "Info". You
should then see the IP address. (a faster way is to click the little down arrow in the
chat frame).
You can use windows copy and paste to get the ip into 688.. but if you want to play
safe write it down.
3a) *IN CASE OF PLAYING A CUSTOM MISSION*: in case you feel like playing a custom made mission in 688i, make sure everyone who is playing has it. if everyone doesn't, make sure everyone gets a copy and saves it into their 688i/scenarios folder.
4) It's also recommended to shut off all applications except your net service and windows. Also, be sure not to be downloading anything, because this lags the game also.
5) Start the game: make sure your CD is in! ;)
5a) If you're using Enigma start the game from Enigma after choosing your channel
6) Goto Multiplayer section: in the main menu you should see a button called "Multiplayer". Click on it.
7) Click on TCP/IP game: This is a button in the multiplayer menu, below all the ones about IPX and Modem play.
8) Click on Server if you are host and Client for everyone else.
9) Click on TCP Settings, next to the TCP/IP button. (if you are host skip 9 through 11)
10) Insert Host's IP: In the top Box on the left (Server address), above broadcast. Leave Broadcast Address and Port to their default values (0.0.0.0 and 0/1791)
11) Click OK.
12) Select which side you wish to be on: Either Allied, Neutral, or Threat.... make sure you decide sides back in ICQ before you connect.
13) Click Connect.
14) Wait for Host's name to pop up: This may take a few seconds... if you don't see it after a few minutes, abort game and go back to ICQ and find out what happened.
15) Click on Host's name: The name might be different then in ICQ, but it is definitly the same guy.
16) Chat using the message box.
17) Select mission (Host only): Click Start (be sure all people are who are coming have arrived!). Also all clients should cease typing when the host starts the game.
18) Play Game: Use Radio Room to chat. Have fun !
19) Quit: when ever you are done, just quit using the way you normally do in Single player. Make sure to read and review the debriefing and log reports.
20) Fill out Scorecard: (Reporter Only)(this is only if you do a match against other players): Be sure that you only count kills on Human opponents.
