Networking Guide
Networking
You can play multiplayer in two ways:
1. Local Play – Connecting two computers on the same network.
2. Online Play – Connecting 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 7770 as the port.
• Click ‘Start Server’, then ‘Join’.
You’re in! 🎉
Online Play (For Friends Worldwide)
To play with friends over the internet, you have two options:
1. 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.
2. 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!
