Networking Guide
You can play multiplayer in two ways:
1. Local Play 🖥️🔗 – Connect two computers on the same network.
2. Online Play 🌐🎮 – Connect with friends over the internet.
Local Play 🏠
The host (the player selecting ‘Start Server’) needs to find their computer’s network address:
• Windows 🪟: Open Command Prompt and type ipconfig
. Look for IPv4 Address.
• Mac 🍎: Open Terminal and type ifconfig
. Look for inet.
Once you have the address (e.g., 192.168.1.666
), go to ‘Connection Settings’ in the game:
• Enter the IP address you found.
• Use port 7770 🔢.
• Click ‘Start Server’, then ‘Join’.
You’re in! 🎉
Online Play (For Friends Worldwide) 🌍
To play with friends over the internet, you have two options:
- VPN (Easy Option) 🛡️ – Use a service like Hamachi.
• Make sure everyone is connected to the same VPN 🔗.
• The VPN may provide an IP address to use 🖥️. - Port Forwarding (Advanced Option) 🚪
• Instead of your local IP, use your public IP address 🌐.
• You’ll need to forward the correct port on your router 🔧.
How to Join a Server 🕹️
Joining a server is easy! Simply ask your friend for the IP address and port they used to start the server.
• Enter these details in ‘Connection Settings’.
• Click ‘Join’.
That’s it — you’re in! 🎉
Hope this helps!
