Octopus 1.3.8a - .NET / C++ Hybrid Boxing Software

As he quite civilly explained, the 'working link 4 posts above' was not from the original author's site. He is quite justified being suspicious of them. Regarding attitude, and shoving thereof, you, eqjoe, are the one who seems to be the self-appointed forum police, coming in with snarkiness when you see someone not behaving as you deem proper. Should I look at how many of your posts are condescending retorts aimed at people who you think aren't reading or otherwise behaving to your liking? Why not post something useful instead of boosting your post count with.... posts that ultimately make you look foolish, and, ironically, seem to demonstrate a lack of being able to read yourself.

While it's a bit annoying please let's not spam and be helpful as possiable we are all trying to accomplish the same thing and that's Box and have some fun.



Just wanted to also say thanks for the updates to Octopus, Wish you well in your next endevors(SP?)

Since I haven't heard from Skarlot, I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's okies to keep hosting these!
Note: Reposting so it doesn't get buried.

Older Versions

- http://www.kawaiiwolf.com/octopus1.3.5f.zip

Note: These links will be taken down if Skarlot requests.

Remember: If you haven't read the instructions for these (which you should by the way! first page) then you'll need to get a couple other files to get these to work (At least for 1.3.5, I haven't tried 1.3.8 yet).

1. Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package ( x86 or x64 )
2. Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5

Good luck !

I've gone through 15 pages of posts since I searched on "octopus tutorials," and other than the wiki which doesn't contain all of the information on setting up the client that Skarlot used to have on his site (with pictures, alas), I''m stuck.

For some reason my 1.3.5f which was working just fine yesterday has today reset itself without warning or reason, and I'm having to reconfigure. My client and server aren't speaking, and in fact, my server thinks it's a client for some reason. So I'm stuck and with no answers, and as a last resort (yes, a last resort, because I see how all the other new people get flamed for asking "stupid" questions), I am requesting help. Not scathing, pithy remarks, but a clue.

I know I'm old and stupid, I know I'm not computer savvy, and I know I can't read, so there, I've covered the basic insults with which newcomers are greeted by oldtimers, can we save time and could someone with patience and compassion please just direct me somewhere constructive?

Kawaii, I would like to try your updated version, but I am scared to do so without a tutorial. Is there one, anywhere, that will help me feel like a modestly intelligent adult once again?

I'll go ahead and flame myself... I spent the $30 and extracted the files, and saw there is a PDF for an Octopus Guide in Kawaii's bundle. Kawaii, thank you very much for your efforts to keep this application going.

I think he means he spent $30 for an extracting program. D'oh!

Guys- free ones are 7-zip and IZarc. Use them! I use IZarc, it's great.

Yep. The fact that he didn't do that in the first place, he brought it upon himself. There was a working link 4 posts above and he posted "Looking for Octopus, any new links?"

If you've downloaded something and found a virus or ran it through one of those internet virus searchers, then fine. Come here and tell us if it looks suspicious. The fact that he didn't try it at all, and then just went and said "Looking for another link" made it seem like he had put no thought into his post at all nor tried to search it. He didn't demonstrate what he meant by "another link" to mean "another link specifically endorsed by the original author of the program." Or- "the same link," now did he? So- I'd have to agree with the person who corrected him and asked him to read the forums. Honestly, it is his fault for making himself look like an idiot, then attacking the person who told him that there /was/ a link there for obviously not knowing anything about computers and of accusing him of flooding the forums with posts, which the person showed no indications of being guilty of.

Hey Im trying to use Octopus for Dark Age of Camelot online, and I can't quite get it to function, can someone please help?

Thankyou for the link, Kawai

Haven't boxed for quite a while so I am well out of the loop on what appears to be new software tools available.


Using Kawais link, does it still need to be registered via a payment on paypal (the link to paypal in the guide included in the download isn't working for me). is it one payment of $14 per machine you will use it on or is it one payment just for the server and then you can run as many clients as you want ?

Do any of the new software tools I see in other threads do the same thing as Octopus or are they the same as keyclone ? Would folk still recommend Octopus to do the job of one client per PC boxing or are other supported programs as good ?
