Hi there,

since I like to play my old games from time to time I most often play RTS like NAPALM and Exodus.

Since I remembered that there has been a tcpip-Patch for NAPALM I downloaded it and gave it a try.
I used a WinUAE Laptop on one side and my A4000 060/CVPPC at the other side.

Setup of the game and getting connection in NAPALM between both computers worked like a charme. Also unit movement and scrolling have been quite playable IMO (well not the best speed of course).

So if anybody would be interested to play a NAPALM game via Internet, please just let me know.

Bye

Hi

Not ready for a Network game but how do you get Exodus to work mine installs but cant find cd device when I try and load it to play a game. Will most likely be shit on 1233 but I would just like to see it run even if it is slow.

Would need to buy a network card otherwise it's a big YES from me! I have reignited interest in the game following the Amiga Day gameplay footage the other day Plus RTS games are in the news because of the C&C: Remastered game out this month

I'm surprised that it got patched to work over the internet. When did this happen? Was it a Clickboom! released patch or by the original developers years later?

Do you have the link?

Yes, this would be really cool (WinUAE works too BTW). There is also a commented new Let's of NAPALM here. This guy also does all that C&C retro, remastered and other stuff and has a discord channel too.
The old NAPALM play through is to be found here

Don't know by heart who made the TCP/IP patch. It can be downloaded e.g. from there.

There is also an existent patch from Alfkil on OS4Depot that makes NAPALM playable within AOS4!

@Reth

«patch from Alfkil» does not make it playable, it removes the CIAA/B timing so the game does not crash, I wonder if maybe CIAAgent might work better, if the game runs 100 times as fast as it should its not playable.

and EUAE for AmigaOS4.1 does not support TCP/IP.

I also guess because LAN game you need to play it over Hamachi or VPN, not sure how do that on AmigaOS, but maybe its possible set a VPN and on raspberry pi / using open vpn, and do some kind Ip forwarding / routing. :-/

or maybe nating in the router and find the external IP, hemm maybe not impossible

For me NAPALM is really good playable within AOS4.1 on my PegII using that patch from alfkil.

EUAE maybe - hence I mentioned WinUAE!

The TCP/IP patch demands that you enter the Internet IP of your opponent directly in order to get the connection done. But I did not test via internet yet. Maybe some VPN or so might still be necessary.

That would be a good test. As the last update I did now includes timer emulation. I'd be interested in the results.

Who owns the Napalm distribution rights these days? Where is the source code?
