[Multiplatform] Guilty Gear! Because I love it! v. BURST

Seems to me that the changes added to Accent Core are large enough to consider it Guilty Gear XXX.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

BTW, if people are still debating which version of Judgment to buy, go with the JPN/Asian version. I passed up on Slash because I hoped to understand the new bits of plot given out in Judgment mode, and was disappointed to find out that it was all exactly the same for everyone (but since I already own PS2 Slash, it was bearable).

So, I'll summarize the plot for everyone to save them the displeasure of getting English Judgment:

Spoiler:

Raimond decides to try to gain the power of the King of the Underworld by using the Isene villagers to lure X Character to the area. So he rounds up all the villagers, and fuses them with demons to create every enemy you fight in the game (nope, you're not fighting Gears). He then tricks X Character into killing the King of the Underworld (down in hell no less), and absorbs the powers of the King, turning himself into Judgment. X Character then chases his ass up a castle maze, and fights him. After you win, it turns out that the Judgment powers are too much for poor old Raimond to handle, and he ends up exploding. The End.

Now that you've read that, there's no reason for you to screw yourself over with #Reload. Go get Slash.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What? #Reload PC Online?!! Yep; apparently, the Japanese have had it for a while, and finally, it's available for the world! Here's how it's done:

Hi, this is to help you get GGXXNet running perfectly. Compiled from information found on dustloop and the #ggxxonline channel on irc.mizuumi.net.

(Updated As of 4/9/07)

1.) Obtain the *Japanese* version of GGXX #Reload, I won't tell you where to find it. Google is your brother.

2.) Download and install that baby and run the config.exe to set your controls.
Note: Since this is a Japanese game, it will take a while to begin the installation process. Once installation begins, you'll have to click the button on the far right a few times. On some systems, this button will have Japanese text followed by '(N)'. If the installation window closes after you clicked the button, then it means you clicked the wrong one. Try the one next to it instead.

3.) Download the GGXXNet patch from:
http://ggxxnet.mad.buttobi.net/index.html Right now, we're upto 1.04.

4.) Head to your Guilty Gear XX #Reload directory in program files, that's:
C:\Program Files\GUILTY GEAR XX # RELOAD and change the folder's name to 'GUILTY GEAR XX #RELOAD'.
So now, the new folder will be located at:
C:\Program Files\GUILTY GEAR XX #RELOAD.

5.) Extract the files from the XXNet package into your GG dir.

6.) Run the patcher file, and it'll automatically patch your ggxx.exe and create a backup called ggxx.OLD, if anything goes wrong with your game, delete the ggxx.exe and rename the ggxx.OLD to ggxx.exe and run the patcher again.

7.) Open the ggxxnet_config.exe, change the server script address to:
www.nurupodensetsu.com/ggn/ggnlobby.cgi
and choose your port, and change the delay frame to 4. Most players use 4.

*IF YOU HAVE A ROUTER, PLEASE READ*:
If you have a router, by default you will have to forward TCP port 10000 on your router. This port can be replaced with any other port as long as you remember to forward it on your router. Some people (including myself) have found that enabling DMZ as well on the router helps connection problems.

8.) Right click your ggxx.exe, copy it, then paste a shortcut on the desktop.

9.) Run the ggxx.exe, and enable shortcut mode. To do this, go to:
options>>game options>>shortcut mode on
and exit to save it. Then run the game again, and you'll see ggxxnet at the bottom of the menu.
When you enter this mode, please keep an eye on the player status.
Status Key:
IDLE OK - good to go

BUSY NG
fighting with other players

NO RESPONCE NG
the player in not in the VS NET screen, or player is not in the game

EX ENABLE/DISABLE NG

DELAY # NG
Change your Delay Frame setting in your ggxx_net_config.exe to match the other player's Delay Frame setting, then you should be able to connect to them (it seems that most ppl I see online set their Delay Frame to 2)

VER ERR x.xx NG
Player's GGXX NET version is older than yours

VER ERR ??? NG

10.) Enjoy, and if you need any help at all, stop by #ggxxonline on irc.mizuumi.net and someone will be here to help you.

To open your ports:

If you want to know if you're set up right use the Custom Port Test on http://whatsmyip.org/ports/

put in the port you're using (default 10000) and click check port

If you get:
Timeout
then the port isn't forwarded and this isn't going to work well/at all for you

If you get:
Closed
Error Number: 61
Connection refused
that's fine, it means the port is being forwarded but you don't have Guilty Gear running

Once you have netpatched Guilty Gear running (just running don't have to connect or anything) you should get:
Open
which means it should work

And finally, my info:

Jonathan Ingram | Abom. K | Alexandria, VA | Delay 4

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

From the matches I played, I can say this much: when it's good, it's better than X-Box Live. When it's bad however... However, most of the players on there are fucking good, and as someone who's been looking for a challenge, that makes it more worth my time than Live.
