The Hamachi C.4.M.P Lobby Update 3-25-06 Changes and updates made 1) Tutorial updated to reflect recomendation and support of 1.0 beta series of hamachi for increased security and functionality with The Hamachi C.4.M.P Lobby. 2) Four new fields added under the profile screen to store the following information: IRC Nick Hamachi IP Hamachi VPN Name Hamachi VPN Password 3) Quick host capability added you no longer have to fill in the information listed above when creating a game entry on the game list they will be pulled from your profile all you need do is select a map type and name your game. 4) Additional security page also updated for the paranoid types that don't belive the hamachi setup option "Disable vunerable Windows services over Hamachi" isn't enough. 5) Small exploit in Content Management System used by The Hamachi C.4.M.P Lobby fixed (I had a temp patch in place to block the exploit before ,but now a real fix has been implemented). **** More updates & additions to come soon Also I need your feedback on a script feature. At the moment when you click the VPN host ip in the game list a javascript box pops up with the hamachi ip of the host already selected all you need to do is press ctrl+c to copy the ip then hit excape to close the javascript window this works in all browsers. Now there is an ie only solution only that will copy the ip directly to the clipboard onclick no popup javascript windows or anything ,but again it will only work in ie . However seeing as CIV4FANS uses ie as it's internal browser the second solution may not be a big problem if and when the lobby is added into the chat program for a complete chat / lobby experience.

If we can keep our pressence in the lobby and also make the hamachi a secure software (it seems so) then i am all for this. This adresses my two big concerns about using it.

The Hamachi C.4.M.P Lobby Update 3-27-06 Changes and updates made 1) Minor updates & improvements made to CMS code. 2) The game list script now displays entires for one hour instead of a half hour. 3) Game list timestamp improved instead of seeing the server time when the game was created the script will now display exactly how long the game has been running counting the diffrence between the current server time and the time the game entry was posted. Yea yea yea I know it's been a few days since I posted updates ,but i work and am in therapy still for a bum leg so I work on the site when I can if anyone is willing to assist with the site message me on the website.

Hi guys and ladies, i come from germany and there is an mag called "C´t" for comp genius. In the last edition (Nr.7) there are several articles describing VPN and especially hamachi. With the newest beta beginning from 1.50 this program is easily to handle for compcomp idiotske me and with this amazing new website of loki and levi (i like this tutorial with screen shots for hamachi very much) it can´t be a prob for all to install and run hamachi. C´t makes their articles always in that way, the first article is an introducing one for dummies like me, then the following ones describing deeply the technology. I really only understood the first one, but i picked up the following things: 1. All who runs hamachi communicate via tunnel to an central server 2. This tunnels are secure, because the newest encryption keys are used and they could not to be hacked (hope not to challenge the hackers with that statement) 3. with the betas beginning with 1.50, the interface is modified for easy usage contribute to persons who don´t have no more comp knowledge then starting programs. 4. On the new amazing website of loki and levi there is an very helpfully and good tutorial with screen shots available civ4vpn.shadowsdominion.com/5. The only questions remained them are: a. Is the central server himself secure b. can we trust this firm which released hamachi; how can gift an program and running an expensive server for free In c´t they written that all above mentioned questions has not proofed to be real. So i see an nice alternative for all players including compidiots like me to run a stable and secure MP.

5. The only questions remained them are: a. Is the central server himself secure b. can we trust this firm which released hamachi; how can gift an program and running an expensive server for free Answer to A is simple the mediation server is only used for a few seconds to connect you once your connected to your networks in your hamachi list your completly peer to peer. Answer to B is also simple Hamachi comes in two versions one free "Basic" with limitations and one subscription "Premium" version with out limitations see premium.hamachi.cc/compare.php for a comparison. Btw if needed I can even post 3rd party sources on hamachi security one is from a well known security show / firm.

Ladder can use both Hamachi and GS and as for the router hamachi can probably get around that

The Hamachi C.4.M.P Lobby Update 4-4-06 Changes and Updates 1) Setup a chat room and applet for registered users. Users will login under there site login name and a _hcl tag on the end of there nick as to not clash with other users on the chat server also once you have registered that nick you can save it's password under your profile it's hidden from other users so it's safe. 2) A few modifications made to the tutorials. 3) Sent a email to all members asking them for an assist in recruiting more hamachi players and it seems to be working we are now up to 51 members and forums are becoming more active daily. BTW the reason for making our own chat room is simple we needed a place to hook up with other hamachi players and a place where people were grown up unlike the gs lobby where spamming and stupidity prospers =( .

The Hamachi C.4.M.P Lobby Update 4-13-06 Changes and Updates I just added some flash tutorials and moved all tutorials under the new tutorials page . I'll be adding more tutorials soon so keep checking back oh and the flash tutorials come in two sizes one for low bandwith and the other for high bandwith the color of the low bandwith is sad ,but still easy to understand. Hopefully these tutorials will be easy enough for any one to understand and cut back on noob errors and misconfigurations that cause them to not be able to join civ4 hamachi games. = = = Actualy seen some guys entering their hamachi passwords into the ip field of civ4 and thats even with the previous tutorial I had posted with step by step instructions and pics.

Hmm, Will ladder system use Hamachi to run ladder games? P.s. : My computer has a router, and I can't do anything for it. The ladder Administration doesn't dictate how you connect to the games, just how you play and report the games after I would consider making Hamachi a ladder "recommendation" policy if the 1.61 patch still doesn't improve the issues to a respectable threshold. But right now it's too soon to make a statement like that. CS

The Hamachi C.4.M.P Lobby now has a button on the toolbar of Civ4fans chat applet as well as a button on the chat panel to join our chat room that is actualy patroled by ops to keep spammers at bay . Update: I have decided to expand The Hamachi C.4.M.P Lobby to include standard direct ip games I have modified the code used in the hamachi games list script and created one for direct ip games I may also create one for Pitboss servers at some point in the future.

The Hamachi C4MP Lobby Update 5-9-06 Changes and Updates 1) Games list scripts have been updated nearly all the javascript has been removed except the pop up box when you click on an ip to copy it ,and users are now able to delete their own games without having to ask an admin or wait the sixty minutes for the server to delete them from the lists. 2) Downloads sections added so far I have one section for apps and another for maps the maps section even shows a thumbnail image of the maps along with a breif description of it all the maps are packaged in self installers so any noob can use them. I plan to create a scenario and mods download section soon also and they will also be packed in self installers. 3) Chat Room applet tweaked a bit 4) Working on a teamspeak login script hope to have it posted soon and add some intergration with the site . DooDooMan has made his server public to the civ4 community and it's one if the selectable servers if you would like your TS server made public just PM me with the servers info. I think that covers most of the changes ,but I could be wrong I am always making some sort of tweak or something around the lobby
