Equipment being brought to the LAN

Quoteright panickers. I'm bringing the switches and at least 10 15m cables.

I expect sexual servitude from at least one of you.

argue amongst yourselves.

Are you hairy? or just a fairy? or are you a Hairy Fairy?? :lol:

eh? oh bugger, I thought this was the hairdresser LAN I was going to..

If I can interrupt the above rubber-tonged (sp) conversation and ask a technical question?

I'm bringing a couple of extra PCs (in addition to my own) to the LAN, both of the extra PCs will need to have HL & CS installed so that they can be used as a server or by Sadako. Now does anyone happen to know if I can use my original copy of HL and the mod files, or do I need to have 3 separate licences for HL (and therefore 3 different WONIDs) in order that all three machines play together on the LAN?

Anyone happen to know the answer to this please?

You can run the HLDS without a license. It is freely available to DL from various sources.

TeaLeaf · May 08, 2003, 09:06:04 AM

OK I'll download HLDS, but what about the machine that I will be bringing for Sadako? DO I need to have another licence or Sadako, will your HDD that you are bringing be your OS & HL/CS boot disk as well?

If anyone has HLDS already (4.1.1.1) and the necessary mods, can they post here please so that I can save myself the trouble of trying to get an account somewhere to download the 120MB of files?

Cheers!

I will bring my HL CD and a copy of my HL dir on the HDD that I will have with me to LAN. I think we will manage TL.

I believe you can use a HL keygen (try www.megagames.com) so long as all you want is to use it on a LAN, because the WONID's don't get checked online when you connect to a LAN server. I'm pretty sure we did this before when short of key's or when someone had to reinstall (as always happens

)

YES, in short

but get a keygen if it complains about multiple copies using the same key on the LAN

TEALeaf can I have that spare machine as The missus (who is very kindly allowing me a "permit to play") will be needing the computer for the weekend.

Would this be g odd time to point out that this thread is in the Topic called Dead LAN Walking which relates to past LANs, and that this particular thread relates to the last LAN, dmw LAN III? 8O

Any discussions on equipment like this need to be in the LAN IV topic that I so carefully set up :lol:
