|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Starting a Server
|
|
|
|
- click "multiplayer" on the startup screen
|
|
- click "start server"
|
|
- type in a game name
|
|
- click "start game" ,"load game" or "load scenario"
|
|
|
|
2. Connecting to a Server
|
|
|
|
- click "multiplayer" on the startup screen
|
|
|
|
- if you want to connect to any network game in your LAN click "find server"
|
|
|
|
- if there were more then one server
|
|
- select one in the list below the buttons
|
|
- click on "join game".
|
|
|
|
- if you want to play over the internet you should have the ip of the game server you want connect to.
|
|
- click direct connect
|
|
- type in the ip address or hostname
|
|
- if you want to add a port use :<port>
|
|
- if you want to connect as an special player use #<player-no>
|
|
|
|
3. Connecting to a Server over the Console
|
|
|
|
- open the console and type in the following command:
|
|
|
|
]connect <ip/host>:<port>#<player-no>
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Playing Internet-Games
|
|
|
|
- since OpenTTD 0.3.4 you can also play internet games over higher latency connections.
|
|
- to do this the gameservers sync frequency should be highered to a decent value.
|
|
- open the console [on the server]
|
|
- type in the following command:
|
|
|
|
] *net_sync_freq = <4-80>
|
|
|
|
default value: 4
|
|
|
|
- this is lowering the sync frequency of the server and your game should be less laggy.
|
|
- this is a server variable: it has nothing to do with the clients
|
|
|
|
- you can also change when the clients ready packet is sent if you still have lags.
|
|
- open the console
|
|
- type in the following command:
|
|
|
|
] *net_ready_ahead = <1-8>
|
|
|
|
default value: 1
|
|
|
|
- in that way your client is sending its "i am ready for next sync" a bit earlier
|
|
thats quite good for games where some players have higher latencies than the others.
|
|
- this is a client variable: it has nothing to do with the server
|
|
|
|
- to change the client timeout time
|
|
- open the console [on the server]
|
|
- type in the following command:
|
|
|
|
] *net_client_timeout = <30-x>
|
|
|
|
default value: 300
|
|
|
|
- warning: a too low value will disconnect your clients if they have a short lag
|
