Netplay

Netplay in Tawhaw13.5, while not directly possible from the menu, is possible with a 3rd party program. Due to the fact that it runs on the Fighter Maker (Or whatever it runs on) fighting game engine, LunaPort, a fanmade program to play games running on FighterMaker, was made.

Lunaport can be downloaded from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?3x4p6g8rhkk434a

To use Lunaport, put it in yer 13.5 folder. MAKE SURE THAT THIS 13.5 FOLDER IS BACKED UP.

Due to the fact that Lunaport may glitch without a clean game file, download http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?i2ist9tc6t0pedt and replace yer game.ini file with it.

Lunaport now needs to be configured. Due to laziness and space limitations, http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?cr83784pj7j5tqt contains a half-configured lunaport.ini file.

Now we can edit the variables. Open up lunaport.ini with notepad, and change whatever variables you need to change.



Note that, though the player name can be whatever one wants, the port numbers of both players involved have to be the same and match up with the port being used to host the game.

After the variables are changed as needed, open up Lunaport.exe.

If you are hosting, press 1. I have no idea how hosting works, so I'll trust y'all on that.

If you are playing, press 2. You should get an IP[]> prompt. Type in the IP of the other player, and wait for a connection to be established.

Once both of you have successfully connected, it is safe to change the controls as desired. Note that one player will be P1 and one will be P2. Figure out who is who, and adjust your controls as preferred.

After that, going into versus mode should work properly for both parties.

To spectate, press 9, and type in the relevant IP. The resulting playback should be a recording delayed by about one minute.

To watch replays, which should be automatically recorded in the replay folder if nothing but the port number and player name were touched, press 7, and select the relevant replay file. It should play a recording of what happened.

IMPORTANT: Make sure both players have the same files. If any characters were modded, make sure that both players have the same characters in the same character slots.

Both versions must also be the same. Patches can be downloaded at http://www.18kingyo.com/sonohivstouhou-use-_down-main.html. Note that using non-prologue patches, while enabling more character selection and more advanced mechanics, will also ruin story mode. It is recommended that the game is backed up first.
