Title: LAN Questions for HTC
Post by: Blue Mako on October 18, 2001, 09:05:00 PM

Just a few quick questions about the H2H LAN capability...  I'm trying to get some of my friends into AH by playing it at a LAN meet.  I'd like to get some answers to these questions beforehand so we don't have to spend ages fruitlessly messing about...

1) Do you need to have a current AH account to use the LAN?

2) If AH is installed on a computer for LAN use only (ie no internet access), will you still need to enter an account ID and password to start playing?

3) Can you change your gameid when using H2H LAN only?

4) Can you keep logs of the gameplay in H2H?

Thanks in advance for your help,

I had a friend install ah1082 so we could test the lan option.  You don't need to have an account for it to work.  Just click HTH then check the LAN box.  It worked perfectly (even our Linksys router didn't cause any problems).  What will happen is that the host will have the handle "HOSTER" and the rest will be USER2, USER3 etc.
