I've recently purchased a digital copy of NOX from GOG, and wondered if it interested anybody to organise multiplayer sessions via Hamachi, not only for said game but other GOG games that can be played multiplayer ?

Is this thread in the wrong topic :s ?

Would it be a good Idea to create a hamachi channel for the community ? (Is it even legal ?)
That way users from the forum could get to know each-others, etc ?

Please do give your opinion ^^' ?

It's more like a private channel (Like MSN for instance), and it make your computer think it's connected to another computer via LAN, when it really is connected via Internet.

Used to use it to play Warcraft 3 with friends abroad...

Well If I remember correctly, it was easy to use, and the important thing is that it was safe as there couldn't be any sharing of files, except from the games.

The important thing was for everybody to have the same version of Hamachi, and it goes without saying the same version of the game, shouldn't be a problem though if we all have the gog version.


If anybody can correct me or add something about hamachi please do !

Sorry for the double post :


I've did a research on the forum and found old topics related to Hamachi discussions.

Looks like players have already enjoyed playing gog games on it.

Might be great to play BG, Nox and other C-RPG's, might give another experience for the community. Organizing dungeon exploration sessions weekly...etc
Even Old RTS gog games can have a new meaning that way.

We could even host tournaments with rewards. Lot of potential...

It's easy as fuck to use.

You install it, run it, choose a name (I believe it autofills it in based on the user name of your PC, but you can just delete and replace with whatever), then one person will make a network naming it GOG or whatever, then add a password. Everyone else then just joins existing network, types GOG and the pass and connects. (Edit: To join a game) you copy the iPv4 IP (right clicking on person's name in the network) and paste that to direct connect to an IP via it. If it does a direct connect. Never tried it for a game without a direct connect like that.

However, I don't know how large the networks can be. Checking out the one my friend made (for free) it allows 5 people in. And the people signed in count even when not online (people would have to leave the network before closing down hamachi to make room for others). According to the site it is $29 (currently on sale for 19) a year for a network up to 32 people. Might be better (aka cheaper) to have some meeting ground to organize games and from their people could make their own hamachi networks for free. Granted that would only work for 5 people or less to a network. The only thing that would be lost from doing it that way would be the chat that you can do over hamachi, that would have to take place at the meeting ground (and obviously people in-game would talk via that).

And I see no way that this would be illegal, it seems to be similar to the GOG group on Steam. Some unofficial meeting place for GOG users.

Sounds good, and I remember that it was easy to use, but sadly I don't have the time to play for now.

My friends and me use gameranger
It's free and has a great selection of supported games. Works like a charm
