I'm using the networking in dim3 b17 update 2 and i want to know how I host a game? this is my first multiplayer game
LAN, local area network....


On the hosting computer, open the server....
Go to another --local--area--network-- *gasp* computer....
open the engine (both comps) and enter the IP and 11800 for the other number thing....
Done :D.

The hard part is when its not lan :P.

NOTE: To change the settings, like which map to use, you can also just type in
Code:
http://[SERVER IP]:[SERVER ADMIN PORT]/?password=[PASSWORD]
to your internet browser browser.
example:
Code:
http://0.0.0.0.0:11801/?password=dim3
the defualt password is dim3 (network xml) and you should probably use 11801 for the admin port.
You can change the settings on any comp, that can reach the server, then people can mess with you game and even shut down the server, AND the server application, if they have the password.
Yea, the server application has to be quit from the browser Wink.


How do I know all this? Docs.
Tried that, but it didn't work????
Try this: http://127.0.0.1:11801/?password=dim3

I think you must have the server app open.
I will try this at school tomorrow!
okay.
