Level 99 Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Th game crashes when I try to connect. The server actually took some finagling to get to work. There are two common tips that seem to provide the most fixes: 1) disable all network adapters except the one that you're connecting on (example: if you use wireless and still have an ethernet one that is unplugged, or if you have a virtual adapter for virtualbox/hamachi). 2) rerun the two packages in the terraria game directory and repair them both. I believe they are xnafx40_redist.msi and dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe There IS a server password that you will need to get, either from me or from someone else who plays on it (garian, cyrilthewolf, vilecat, maxfrost, etc.). I will check the server during lunch when I go home as well, just to make sure nothing got botched. We had 5-6 people playing at the same time last night. Quote
Cyril the Wolf Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Never mix drugs.... Minecrack and methtroid with some Zelda 2. Auuuuggh Quote
MaxFrost Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) My server is up and running! apparently all I needed to do was disable my secondary network connection, and it works. Garian was playing with me earlier. IP is 172.20.65.247, password is the same as the ocad server (for those who have been on there) PM me or find me on IRC to get it.

Nonamer Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Damn it Terraria! Why aren't you out for Mac yet? I'm starting to regret missing out on these great PC games...oh well at least Minecraft still works. Quote
Brycepops Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I can't join any servers that aren't using Hamachi. I'm about to punch a wall Quote
The Author Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 So, how did we describe this game again? A mix of Minecrack, Methroid, and Zelctasy? Too addictive. Quote
Brandon Strader Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Yeah, anyone figure out what the hosting issue is? I could host a server fine for minecraft but this isn't working. Quote

Level 99 Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Yeah, anyone figure out what the hosting issue is? I could host a server fine for minecraft but this isn't working. Did you try everything in my previous post? Quote
Lunar-X Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 So, how did we describe this game again? A mix of Minecrack, Methroid, and Zelctasy?Too addictive. its like minecraft... in that you dig to build. (you build new tools out of better materials, which makes them do more damage and lets them work faster.) you dont actually have to dig to explore caves though, you can actually find them relatively easy on the surface(givin that its 2d). caves are filled with monsters and pots(with items in them) and treasure chests (with items in them). oh there are also floating islands with special items and stuff on em. you've got npcs that you can build houses to make em stay in "town"(i use that word loosely) guide, merchant, nurse, arms dealer, etc.) youve got a random dungeon on each world, and an underground jungle. corrupted lands that have shadow orbs you break to find rare items and summon bosses/meteors. with a little bit of Wow tier gear thrown in. everything after gold gives you set bonuses. oh, god bless the grappling hook. yes... im an addict.

Garian Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Brycepops: Be patient, the game was released early because of a number of reasons (the official reason was ultra high demand fyi) so some of the components that were meant to be part of the release weren't finished, including standalone dedicated server software. Blue posted on the unofficial Terraria forums basically saying to sit tight-- features that were planned for release are still on their way in the coming weeks, including dedicated server as well as more thorough steam integration, achievements, and desert/sky island content.

Mr. Bottle Rocket Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 and decreased slime spawning rates...wish they'd also reduce the spawn rate of meteor heads. Quote
RadioactivePancakes Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Would anybody like this game? I'm going to be buying the 4pack. No need to pay me back and it wouldn't even be possible considering I don't have paypal or anything. I just figure I might as well since it's cheap. I don't even know if I'll like the game but it did get my interest. EDIT: SEND PRIVATE MESSAGE. Don't want to flood with request. I'll edit again once all are given away. EDIT: All gone. Winners my brother, f4t4l, and fusion2004. Edited May 23, 2011 by RadioactivePancakes Quote
Tensei Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 People who run the OCAD server, would it be possible to post an image of the entire map using this? I doubt it would be spoiling much since most of it has already been discovered, but it would be neat to see the big picture. Quote

The Author Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Is the OCAD server down or am I having issues with connecting again? Quote
Level 99 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Is the OCAD server down or am I having issues with connecting again? Server is up, last I checked. I was running it last night and both myself and Val could connect no problem. As for the map imaging, I have no problem doing it as soon as I get home today. Quote

Actually I would have an issue with the map imaging. It shows everything, not just what's explored. Quote
The Orichalcon Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Game looks interesting, but I worry about a feeling of limitation after transferring from 3d to 2d. This one looks like it has a lot more involved with the mining side though. I'll give it a shot when I get some spare cash. Would anyone be interested in going in on the 4-pack with me? Quote
Brycepops Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 New patch out that might've fixed some of the connection problems some of us have been having, so restart any servers you guys are running please. :3 Quote
Brandon Strader Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I too had trouble connecting to OCAD server before. Works now no problem. Just a note to people maybe trying to play with friends on their own map by hosting.. If you're having trouble connecting to your own server, don't use your static IP. Use the one that is like.. 192.168.1.35 or whatever your diverse last number is. That's how I log on to my own "server" and play with friends. Quote
Tensei Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Has the server not been updated yet or something? I haven't been able to log in all day. Quote
Level 99 Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Has the server not been updated yet or something? I haven't been able to log in all day. It was updated yesterday. No idea why its not letting people log in. Very bizarre. I'm working on a permanent solution right now. Quote
