Help with MP

[Jake]

Hi, I downloaded Hamachi and when my friend tries to join it says "Server Not Found." Maybe I am doing something wrong. I tried port fowarding and all, but I suck at that and am no longer interested in port fowarding (i messed something up and caused my internet to shut down) Any help would be appreciated, also we are using mods and we both have the same one active.

So I figured it out, but when we join, the map is the Default ones, but we have the modded cars. Help?

The person hosting the game needs to start a network in Hamachi and share the Himachi IP. They then need to load up the game, load the mod, and start hosting a game. Then whoever's joining needs to join the IP in Hamachi, start the game, load the mod, and go to Direct in the multiplayer menus to enter the IP.

Ok, I have another question. For example if we use the Montana mod, why is the map just the default one?

I don't have a for sure answer, I don't know. Unless you both have different maps, different versions of the mod. It should load whatever map the person hosting the game has loaded as long as everyone joining also has the same map. Have the person that's hosting the game check single player free-play in the mod to see what map it is.

Ok, yea all of our freeplays are the Montana map, but when we play multiplayer it is not. odd.

Someone might be able to provide an answer for that on https://www.emergency-planet.com/

I think multiplayer uses a different file to load the map. If you want to play MP on the montana map you need to copy the map to the multplayer map file with the same name

That's very likely what you have to do. I don't have Montana mod but there is a "multiplayer.e4m" file in LA mod I assume is the multiplayer map for LA mod. If Montana Mod doesn't have such a file you might be able to copy the campaign or freeplay map and rename it "multiplayer.e4m" and make it work.

Yea I tried that, unfortunately it did not work. The map was there, but everything was wrong. For example, the roads were glitched and everything was messed up. Thanks anyway

I thought that might happen if you had to rename it. When a map is made the routes the vehicles take have to be "drawn" on it...I think. So renaming a map to use with another version of the game the vehicles, I'm guessing, might not be on the roads and try to drive through buildings etc.
:(

Bummer. There seems to be a few people that play Montana Mod. Post on the planet forums if you haven't and see if anyone has a multiplayer version of the map or knows how to get it working. It could go either way. Worst case scenario you'll have to deal with the default map for multiplayer.
