Hello Distant Stars players!!!
We are pleased to start promoting a community around the mod we love to create and you love to play!
This topic is to help promote online play. No matter what you play, PvP, PvAI or PvPvAI! We will be having regular game times for everyone to gather and join up playing Distant Star!
The meeting place for setting up any Distant Stars game is currently Channel 'Distant Stars' on ICO. Once your there feel free to set up games among each other! Another thing we would like to promote is using Distant Stars in your game name. For example here are some game names: Distant Stars 1, Distant Stars 2, etc etc. You are all smart people. A Quick Rundown:Where:Ironclad Online (ICO) the ChannelDistant Stars; Also our Teamspeak channel.When:WHENEVER!
Teamspeak:
We have recently started using Teamspeak to exapand the fun we can have. We encourage you to drop in and socialize with us! Any questions about the status of the channel can be directed to -Ue_Carbon.
TS SERVER INFO:
Address- 69.61.15.106
Port- 4293
Channel- Sins of a Solar Empire
Also we would like to get a list of ICO players names so we can all add each others as friends, to set up games beyond the set game time listed above.
Current ICO Players Names:Ryat-Ue_Carbon PbheadDraakjacktOranosRoesh Free TradersSyneptusVonlesto{SB}=>Dead_rat{SB}=>WarfleetMr.G
Feel free to post up game time beyond the current set times, and letting us know your ICO name so we can add you to the list!!! We will hopefully see some of you ingame!!!
Warning:
Be sure to turn your graphics settings down to lowest and turn off all of the special effects like bloom and skyboxes... You're dealing with net traffic and other people's computers so to avoid unnecessary desyncs or disconnects, do your part and turn everything down.
We also suggest you Trim your Empire Tree to reduce mid-end game lag. Play with only the minimum ammount in your Empire Tree as you need!
I came, I saw, I conquered... Not necessarily in that order.
Is the TS server working properly bc I can't seem to connect to by server address. I can't find a place to put the port number anyways.
Its working. People were on it till 5, Ive been on it all night ana morning also.
When you start up TeamSpeak, press Control+S, that will bring up your connection window. Just put 69.61.15.106:4293 in the address box, your name in the nickname box, and there's no password so leave that one blank. Then hit connect and you should be good.
great, ty. I'll give it a shot once I get back from my vacation
is a mic required for teamspeak?
no
you can use text chat, but if you want to make the most of it, you should get a mic.
If you have a webcam or are using a laptop, it usually has a mic built in, but you'll want to use headphones to avoid feedback and echoing.
Sweet! Looks great guys! I cant wait to get my online account working (its in a lockup because i accidentally deleted the email it sent me [e digicons]:'([/e]
g'damn it! why do the smileys sometimes not work?!
(sorry about my double posting, you should see me on the stat wars galaxies forums, i quintuple post)
Because they just don't sometimes.
Use the edit button a lot more often... Especially if you're posting again 30 seconds later.
Would anyone be willing to do a Cruel AI 2v2 with me? I have already have TS ready to go.
Just a heads up,
Next week the TS server will be changing IP.
I'll post it after it the change has occurred.
Still hoping to find someone to play with against the AI. Or should I ask in the teamspeak? The thread seems kind of dead.
Your best bet is just jump on TS on the weekends...usually someone will play Sins during the weekend evening.
^ This is true!
What's the new TS address?
I reconnected to steam, it tried to update, now I can't play any of my games because 'cannot connect to steam server' ... tried to log onto the TS to discuss this but the server is no longer up.
This is why I grumble about Steam ... I have 2 hours of free time ... and now I can't play any steam games? I've only waited 3 weeks for this free time ...
Still cant connect?
Well ... after several restarts, un-installed and re-installed, even reset connection settings on the network as was suggested by steam's site, nothing. I wasted 2 hours of free time and had to head off to a work comitment. I get back (just now) and attempt to log in just for kicks before heading off to bed and it works ...
... all I want to do is play my game when I actually have the free time to play it.
What is the new IP because I am not in the Steam group.
Grumble grumble grumble grumble...
For those who dont have the TS IP:
ts58.light-speed.com:4295
Just a reminder, personal annoyance here....please dont just pop on then pop off. If your gonna spend the time to even log onto the server make sure you at least say hi. All I ask.
^ You got it! Thanks!
Hmm, got TeamSpeak successfully installed on my machine but not much success after that. Here's the log. Am I doing something wrong?

You were trying to talk in a channel or chat box that you dont have permissions for. For example Talking the chat box "Carbon's Pew Pew Fun Zone" will get you this.
No one can talk in that channel as it is the server info channel. You need to use the individual channel chat boxes.
This is the most common thing that will cause this. There are others but many first timers make that mistake.
