Re: Heroscape with HexScape
Yes.
Make a text file and save it with the extension .hsa Here is an example: Quote:
There are three ways to find the folder names. First, you can guess. They all follow the pattern similar to the example above. All words are capitalized, with no spaces. Second, you can change the .hsd extension on an asset file to .zip and then open the zip file and navigate to the "cards" directory to see the folder names: heroscape-->cards The third way, after you install the assets, is to navigate to the Hexcape directory on your computer. It should be in: C:\Users\<your name>\.hexscape\asset\heroscape |

Re: Heroscape with HexScape
This is awesome, great job to everyone involved. Can you play a local game of this, or does it have to be an online opponent? I could see using this when I travel and I'm already bringing a laptop anyway.

Re: Heroscape with HexScape
Looks pretty cool! Just spent some time on this software, was going to run a quick 250 point game against myself, but spent way too long trying to work the interface and mechanics...
So, regarding a 2 player local game, how do you "pass control" over to the other player? I create a 2 player "solo" game, but I can't figure out how to make player 1 leave the hot seat, so I can't place and/or reveal OMs on player 2's army cards. |

Re: Heroscape with HexScape
Well, I’m guessing nobody knows how... but, no worries. I installed the “server” software on my desktop, and installed the hexscape client on another device in my home, and was able to connect the two and play that way (did not play full game, I simply threw Grimnak on the board and moved/watched it from both devices). This is how I will be using this software going forward.
On another note that I’m interested in, has anyone tried using the server software with a client connecting from outside of the home LAN (talking WAN sort of thing, say I want my buddy from down the street to play online with hexscape?) I’d imagine this would require port forwarding at my router, and my buddy inputting my IP address at his end. It’ll probably be a while before I can test that, just want to know if anyone has tried? If it works as easy as I imagine it will, I’m kind of shocked the scape community doesn’t turn to this for their online play, it looks so nice, and works relatively well.

Re: Heroscape with HexScape
I've not tester personnaly, but that's what Lyrgard made before, it has the server at his home and every one could connect to it and play an online game.

Re: Heroscape with HexScape
Perhaps it does not include all the VC figures (and C3G figures, for those tourneys) that the online community uses? I know they also have timers, stats, etc.

The customs are missing, which is sad, but I've not nearly enough time spent with classic scape to allow that to bother me at this point. |

Re: Heroscape with HexScape
I think the other obstacle is it just takes some investment to get it working. Google Docs is just plug and play. No setup required.

Re: Heroscape with HexScape
Yeah, I thought of that, too. Having to install software is inconvenient.
