Need help finding some online bastards

Postby Wimmel » Mon Mar 16, 2009 10:37 am

I've been playing TM last weekend and found some OTMBers online. But how do I find them in the future? In my buddielist I see online bastards but i doesnt't state on wich server or how to connect to them. I remember with the old version you could filter on online buddies.

I'm probably doing something wrong, I have no idea what that is :(

If the status is just "connected", then they´re not playing on a server, this means only that ppl have actually started TM. If someone is actually playing on a server, you should get a "playing online, click to join buddy on server" message (or something like that).
See ya on the Tracks

Thank you TopTrog. That would explain it. Does this mean I appear connected even if i'm only playing solo modes?

you can also do what HGL does and use the message button to attract out attention.... i was mapping (got mappers block at the moment) when an envelope popped up on my screen with a message from HGL asking me to join him... it costs 2 coppers per message but im sure that wont break the bank
