Hi,
How do I set up a multiplayer game?
(Assuming im using stock tge)
Do I just have to check host multiplayer or is there more?

That's all you have to do as far as TGE is concerned. However if you have a firewall and are trying to host over the net, you'll need to open ports 28000:28002.

I can't get it to work, what about if you have a router?

Did you log onto your router and open those ports?
#9
05/19/2006 (10:21 am)
Well I forwarded those ports to my pc on the router, there was no option to open them
#10
05/19/2006 (10:27 am)
Are you sure you have ports forwarded to you from your ISP?
#11
In my router Ihave a virtual server setup forwarding those three ports to my pc

Delete your init.cs.dso and recheck your init.cs file to make sure your changes are still there.
#18

Yeah, I have deleted the dso's the changes are still in init.cs

I know the starter.fps demo works out of the box, so checking the code there should help you greatly.
Also, in common/main.cs there is some masterServer code.

The only other thing I can think of is to delete the config and pref files.I know the starter.fps demo works out of the box, so checking the code there should help you greatly.

Actually, I can't get 1.4 stock to work. Same problem as he describes. No servers found, I think it was having a problem with the master server. Only thing different with me is that I am NOT using a router.
