Question about the multiplayer support

by JoeSmith · in Torque Game Engine · 06/05/2001 (5:13 pm) · 7 replies

I know that you can have servers where players join the game. However, for our games since they are small and inde most people probably won't put up servers for them...

Is it possible for it to be like RainbowSix where you connect to that person and they are the server?? Like what they did through MPlayer??

GG Staff??

Thanks.

thats what im asking can it be done ...

like say in HL you need Dedicated servers, the game runs like crap when someone hosts a game (using create game). But in RainbowSix it ran fine as long as the host was on cable or better ...

See what Im getting at??

or play and host a game.

in hl it runs perfect if you host a server and play its just that the netcode isnt very good and so it can get laggy with a slwo connection
