EHM The Blue Line

For those users who are interested in starting an online game with other TBL users then feel free to post your details in this thread. I suggest posting where you're located, your time zone (hours plus or minus GMT), when you're available to play and any other relevent information.

This is a useful site for finding your timezone.

Here's an example:

Name: Joe Bloggs
Location: United Kingdom
Time zone: GMT +1
Available times: Friday, Saturday, Sunday evenings and nights

Name: Tom Hughes
Location: Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, Canada
Time zone: GMT -5 (Thats EST right?)
Available times: Since I have a messed up schedule...

Monday: 4pm - 11 pm
Tues: 8pm - 11pm
Wensday: 3pm - 11pm
Thurs: 3pm - 11pm
Friday: 4pm-7pm
Sat: 4pm- as long as I need to.
Sunday: 3pm - 7pm

Now thats just my spare time...I REALLY don't wanna spend all that time playing EHM

Thanks for helping us get organized Archie

If there's anyone interested in co-commisioning an online league, or joining one, let me know. I have a ton of free time but don't want to take on the task alone.

Oh, and by the way, I live in the Eastern Standard Time Zone... which is... ummm. I forget now. But that's where I am.

Name: Joe Bloggs
Location: United Kingdom
Time zone: GMT +1
Available times: Friday, Saturday, Sunday evenings and nights
oh wait...

Name: Ben Parker
Location: United Kingdom
Time zone: GMT +1?
Available times: Tuesday evenings 5pm-10pm
Thursday evenings 5pm-10pm
Sunday mornings 10am-1pm

Come on then, archibalduk-lets get an online game set up at some point...If you give me the necessary instructions about setting one up I will be more than happy to take you on

Eh, with the new patch coming out in a week or so and a new challenge starting here at TBL, I doubt anyone will have enough time for an online league.

inSTAALed and I got an online game going, it took some tinkering with his router but everything's running smoothly. I took control of the Brampton Battilion and he took over the Plymouth Whalers. In two exhibition games between the two teams, I won the first one 5-1 and he took the second game 4-1.

If anyone needs help setting up your computer for online games, I now consider myself an expert on it so just send me a message or post here.

Yeah, E-can you give us a step by step guide? I have got 'Mentor' router, can't remeber the specific model, will check later...How many people can you have in the same online game? Would it be possible to get all the mebers of TBL in one?

One problem might be that I don't (as far as I am aware) have a ststic IP address. I did try the port-forwarding website guide when trying to set up an FM game, but I failed miserably...

Yep, you need a static IP address.

E helped me set that up, as well as forwarding the correct ports.

Playing online is so much fun Alot more competitive and easier to work out trades among other things.

Due to the 'forbidden' error, I can't post the instructions here. It won't even let me submit it to the Knowledge Base.

I'l posted it Here for now, but I don't think it will be there for long.

Thanks, E-I have printed it off. I will try when I have some free time, maybe tomorrow night actually. If anyone is up for an online game, post in this thread....

I might be.. Do you have AIM or MSN messenger?

I find it easier to communicate that way

I get to this stage..
here..
and then no further. What do I enter into the address bar-just my IP address or the other long number as well? Either way I am screwed because I do not know what our admin password is anyway.....ho hum.

The address bar is your internal IP address, which should be something like 192.168.1.2

The 10065 is the PORT number that EHM online uses.

Anyone who is interesting to start a online league?

I can play in weekends and some nights in the week, not sure which yet.

I don't know about a 'league' per se, but inSTAALed and I play online against each other on a regular basis. If enough people are interested, and are available on a regular basis, I'll try and set something up though.

I'm interesting, but there's a big problem, time zones...

I'm sure your interesting, joe

Time zones are always a problem

Tom, try to post your guide and change any use of "select" to something like 'pick' or 'choose' and see if that works. It seems to be "select" that is the main cuplrit.

I meant interested, I will never post again when I'm in a hurry to do something else.

I know what you meant, but it was just so easy to make a comment about that

Alright, the article has been submitted to the Knowledge base, Thanks for the tip Minty.


Now we just gotta wait to see if I meet the tough criteria to get in there.

Nice one, dude!
