it seems when we try to Multiplay with peer-to-peer mode:
It hangs when its trying to load the map.
This only happens when its more than 2 people. When we add a 3rd person it goes the new game screen and then when I pick the map it hangs there...
Are we doing something wrong?
We followed the directions pretty well.. We've been doing this with duke3d for months...

JFSW with 3 players
I concur, it works great 2 players, even when someone has an internal IP, but I just tried 3 players tonight and it seems to work fine until you press "enter map" or "start game" or whatever the button says, then it just stays at the Entering MAPNAME screen.
Has anyone out there gotten it to work 3 players? Were you all on a LAN? Any special tips or tricks?

Looks like 3+ players mode is broken.

Is peer-to-peer playable only through LAN or can we play peer-to-peer over the net?

Works fine over the net, but you need your EXTERNAL IPs of course, and refer to the release notes for router/firewall config.

Strange. Myself and a friend tried connecting via the net for a game using the console commands specified in the release notes. Both our ports are open. We can play duke3d fine, but with shadow warrior our games hang on 'waiting for players' screen.
I tried to host first, then he tried to host.
When hosting i used this command:
sw.exe /net /n1 (my ip) (his ip)
He then launched his sw by typing:
sw.exe /net (his ip) (my ip) /n1
Both our games load, but hang at 'waiting for players' like i said.
Are we doing something wrong?
BTW - RiotLord - I too played on TEN. My handle was WangFu. What was yours? My AIM iss "Cazcade". Msg me for a game. I'd like to get a SW community up and running. You remember "Nihilist" on TEN? Top SW player ever. A gamepad user. He was so fast - it was sick. Rank #1. I was one of the top ten ranked players on the network.

You are specifying too many IP addresses. Each machine should only specify the IP address of the other machine. For a 2 player peer-peer game, this is the correct syntax:
I just helped him out on ICQ :) Any ideas why 3+ players doesn't work, Ken?

Thanks Ken! Clears up some confusion!

I used to use a sidewinder.. too bad i dont have it now :[

Does anyone want to try and fix this problem? So we can try to get a game of 8 players at once or at least 3. I know its programmed in C, I've only coded in C++ but i'm sure its not going to be that different, maybe just more messy. But If any programmers out there have loooked at the source and can find out where the problem is at... it will speed things up, does anyone have any idea where the defective source might be located at? Thanks.

sw is back
RiotLord, WangFu.. I remember you guys on TEN. What uuup. My joystick is glitched and always strafes violently to the left if I try and stand still, but if you guys want to play, I'll definately cope with it to play some f'ing SHADOW WARRIOR YEAA- I'm on AIM as FooJackinPimp, hit me up. I'll try and give you some company at the top dro. I was #2 under Nihilist on TEN :)
