Mac and windows Playing together
by Mike Rowley · in Torque Game Engine · 08/16/2006 (3:42 pm) · 4 replies
Can 2 people, 1 on windows and 1 on mac play the same game together?
I ask becouse I have both types of computers at home, the game works fine on both, but I cannot connect across my lan to each other. (my 2 pcs connect to each other fine)
Is this a "lan thing"? Or is torque incompatible across the net with 2 different opsystems?? Or have I messed up somewhere??
Sorry if this is a lame question, but it's my first attempt at cross platform anything.

Heres some troubleshooting thoughts:
Is your mac's built-in firewall possibly blocking the connection?
Can you connect via samba, ftp, or telnet to your mac from your PC if those services are enabled?

Yes you should be able to connect across platform. Heres some troubleshooting thoughts:

If this fixes it, then create a new rule in the firewall menu that allows UDP ports {whatever you're using for torque, probably 28000}, and re-block UDP traffic.

On your mac, go into System Preferences->Sharing->Frewall->Advanced, and uncheck "Block UDP traffic"If this fixes it, then create a new rule in the firewall menu that allows UDP ports {whatever you're using for torque, probably 28000}, and re-block UDP traffic.

Some day I'll figure out how to actually use this mac. (doubtful)
At least I figured out how to use XCode and now I can actually test things.
Again, thankyou. :-)

Thanks guys. Adding a new rule solved the problem. Some day I'll figure out how to actually use this mac. (doubtful)

prolly a typo or issue related to the script possibly gametype?
I do not see any reason why they cannot.
I've been wrong once before tho, I was mistaken.
