I have spent 7 hours creating a Lord of the Rings game on my world editor and I need to know two things:

1. How do I make custom forces?

2. It won't let me host my games on battle.net, why?
 
1. Go into the scenario menu at the top and then go to player properties and then click on the forces tab. Add as many forces as you want.

2. You have to be more specific. Perhaps you only have the 1 force (by default) and you need at least 2 forces to play on bnet (yourself and some sort of enemy player)
 
errr...

Thanks darg, but I need to know how to set people on custom forces. I'll explain. I'm making my own version of a Lord of the Rings game, over middle earth. And I want to make it where Rohan, Gondor, the Shire, Rivendell, Mirkwood, and Fangorn are against Mordor, Isenguard, Moria, and other orc encampments. If I didn't have this the players could make it where Mordor,Gondor,and Moria were on a team. I don't know how to set it where they are on a team together no matter what.

As for not being able to host, I'm pretty sure it's my firewall, but sadly I have no idea what program my firewall is. What I really want to know is how do I find out what my firewall is and disable it.
 
It's a pity you can't actually see the force names on bnet, cause that would be cool.

Use what I explained above to make a force for each of those places you mentioned in your post. Assign 1 player into each force.

When the game starts, stick the following into a trigger:

player - set alliance

turn alliance (non-aggression) on for player 1 toward player 2
turn alliance (non-aggression) on for player 2 toward player 1

repeat this for all the players that you want to be allied.

By default, the different forces are all enemies, so you don't have to worry about setting enemy settings.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
