MULTIPLEER

(1/1)

noob:
can i play with my friend in internet?(win32)
we tried to do it but after he created a server i couldnt connect to him(but in reality his ping with my comp is quite good)
it was looking like:
connecting.. connecting.. connecting... nothing happened
and is there some kind of lobby?
or player connects in a midle of game?

or only lan works?

Mattn:
there is currently no lobby - no master server is running - feel free to contribute a root server to run some ;-)

internet play should work as well as lan play. but you should really wait for rc5 - rc4 had some quite annoying bugs that made multiplayer games not work correctly.

noob:
what do you think about making an option during creation of server:
something like this:
choose game type: lan\internet it will be easy to use this option, not console-commands or something else :)]
because creation of server mm is more lan orientated... so programmers can make split of lan and inet modules (.cpp) (if you already havent this)

HighXplosive:
Win32 multiplayer is currently very buggy. Read the other thread about it, somewhere.
