Hey guys!! I finally worked out a solution for network games, that is if you only plan on playing them at home.

If you are interested, I can email you a short sample & explain how to set it up. If enough people like it, I'll make it into a tutorial for you all.

It's works for me so far!!

Sorry, I don't have time to post all the directions right now, but you can set it up within an hour!

Has it got anything to do with saving a file, then using somthing else to send it?

Yes! That's the whole concept: GE saves all the player's variables and then an external batch file(*.bat) transmits it over the network!

I'll get a tutorial up by Friday night!

In theory, it can be done using MortScript:
http://www.sto-helit.de/modules/edito/content.php?id=40

Code: Select all
RunWait YourGame.exe
if fileExists \Program Files\Your Game Path\newscore.txt
{ RunWait AddHighScore.exe }
else
{ RunWait TryAgain.exe }
EndIf
