I played with C2 on some emulated PC ( VMWare ) to see if I can get it
to network under modern windows versions.
Under win98 it works with no problems.
If I start the server on win98 and the client on win2000 , it does not
see
the server.
Then I changed the IPX/SPX frame-type to 802.3 on all systems and also
entered
the same network number.
Still no go.
Then I started the carma_SW.exe directly on win2000 and now it sees
the game server !
As SW mode sux, I tried Carma_HW.exe , but it seems it tries to use
GLIDE instead of D3D, so it fails at startup.
So :
- C2 run via Carma_SW.exe works , run the normal way doesn't.
Note, that it sees the game server, I did not actually join ( I think
C2 fails on that system when actually starting a game ).
Does anyone know, how to start C2 in HW (D3D) mode without the
launcher ?
Carma_HW.exe with some parameters ?

David
