How to play scratch games... ONLINE
NEW VIDEO DEMONSTRATION! http://www.scratch.mit.edu/ext/youtube/?v=0jlQ2dtFerU&feature=youtube_gdata
This is a guide on how to play scratch games online with other users.
(Me and RHY figured this out. He owned me in mario vs. yoshi.)
1. Enable mesh (MathWizz Has a tutorial on how to do this.)
2. You and your friend download Hamachi.
3.One of you create a network (USE A PASSWORD!)
4. Find a mesh project.
5. Someone host a mesh game.
6.Get the other persons Hamachi IP.
7.SShift+click Share and click Join mesh.
8.Type in their Hamachi IP.
9.Play
*NOTE MUST READ*
For some reaso certain people will not be able to host.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*
This does not work perfectly so some may lag
I got the hamachi idea from RHY, and we tested it out on his game. Give him most of the credit.
*EDIT*
I will try to answer all questions.

Go me.
Yeah - it worked great other than the fact that I was 10 seconds behind lonwol because of latency. ><
YOu should probably try something that isn't as connection heavy as Mario vs. Yoshi mesh. Try a paint project.

Re: How to play scratch games... ONLINE
Sounds good, does this mean that you can have more than one player at a time? (Can you already do that in mesh?)

A network hoster. Used to connect multiple users.
So then you probably can have more than 2 players in one game...

Re: How to play scratch games... ONLINE
me and dolfus555 use hamachi for garrys mod occasionally,until I learned to forward my ports so I could host public games,perhaps you can find away to host public games for scratch using port forwarding?
why?

Well the mesh game you played on would have to be scripted that way.

That would be nearly impossible. Port forwarding would probably never work. But if it did, games made could have servers made by users that could stay up forever.

You do stuff to your router, and you can make servers that are on games that stay up there even when your not on it.
A good example for servers would be WoW where players can host servers there.

Re: How to play scratch games... ONLINE
Actually no, what your thinking of is a dedicated server which is hosted somewhere else, hosting a server on your router is called a listening server and as soon as the host leaves the game's server shuts down. To host a dedicated server you will have to pay monthly or find some amazing awesome miracle worker who will set one up for you for free, which i highly doubt.
why?

Wha? I've seen port forwarded servers where the host isn't even on. (Was not dedicated either)

Re: How to play scratch games... ONLINE
most game server are held BY the game makers. Like some left 4 dead servers I think, are created by valve. Well I am happy as long as those servers have votekick because I don't appreciate rage noobs coming in and team killing or mic spamming.

Ok guys get back on topic or they'll close this down. (My steam name is lonwol BTW)
We are on topic, we're talking about different types of servers, which i have always wondered If you can host a project on a server, and connect to the server and have more than 1 other person connected.
We could test it with Magnies Chat project, but it was made in BYOB, which has the mesh.
