Title: Multiplaying
Post by: Galactic on April 01, 2007, 04:32:08 pm
I want to play Melee Netplay. I haven't used IRC programs before, and I don't actually know how to use one.
After I go to http://irc.uqm.stack.nl/irc.cgi, how can I talk to people?

Just type in the bottom part of the window. Everything people say will end up in the top part.

About in what version will we have a proper multiplayer lobby?

I'm having lot of problems with this. If I accidentally click the 'back' button (happens me often) I need to wait until my account times out and then come back. But now (it's 14.53 for me) no one answers me after I log in and say something like 'Hello'. Though in the right corner I see there are many users online. And the program says that 'Galactic has joined #uqm-arena'. Why don't I see anyone talking then? Do I have to join an other channel from the #UQM-arena?

Yeah, they are online, but they're not glaring continuously at that window waiting for someone - or are already in a match. You have to wait.

I am always waiting because I'm new to Melee Multiplayer and so excited ;D

At what GMT hour are you waiting?

Hmm I don't know. What's GMT and where can I see it?

You're in Finland, right?
And you are waiting about when? (what does your local clock say?)

About GMT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMT), it's the time at the Greenwich observatory (in London). If you are on the +2 time zone, like me, and your local clock indicates 15:49, at Greenwich it's 13:49, so you're at 13:49 GMT.

That's your time too, I suppose. Well... so you wait at this hour and nothing happens?! Try waiting (and don't forget to forward your challenge) on Saturday or Sunday - maybe they don't have time right now.

Uh, Finland is on EEST (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EEST), UTC+3, right now, not EET (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_European_Time) (UTC+2).
