AdrianC Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 You need to run the server on your computer and give the client to other people. Using your external IP, they connect to your server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hence Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Luckily, were not like some websites were you play games by downloading a plugin and you can only download and play games of that player. I remember finding a really good game engine to create online games (cant remember name), was going to create a game with it, but as soon as i found out you can't share your own game but instead requires your players to install all this bullshit player and crap, i just said fuck it.Just a find a game on the active list, and choose it and download it off there site/topic, plus there is some other games up in the work in progress board such as myworld.

AdrianC Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Just go to a game thread. Download whatever file they tell you. Run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianC Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 In the client, press Ip config, and fill out the IP and port of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like we can see everything you're doing.And plus, downloading and playing a game is the easiest thing you can do. Try downloading Ambardia Online. That (I think) is up.

AdrianC Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Yeah, some games aren't up most of the time. Ambardia is usually up tho. Make sure you download his client, not a random one.And besides, this is one of the easiest things you can do on a computer. We can't really make a tut on how to operate windows.

azkanan Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 MyWorld is up for the next 2-3 hours, but then I gotta close it cause I have a Business Plan Presentation to do tomorrow!But, I won't be playing right now, I think one of my mods is working, though. :)There's also a step-by-step guide how to get connected, so that might be a good starter for you?http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=36524.0type 'Help (With the ' ) once in game if you need help. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alster Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 @SPiRiTX:> Well I must be right stupid then because I can't get any single game on this stupid thing to work.When you say 'this stupid thing' are you referring to Eclipse & all the games on it? If so then may I remind you Eclipse is not a game engine you pay for - it's 100% free. Many people have worked hard creating games and the engine itself (not to mention scripts and source edits) and just because you can't get a game to run doesn't mean they're> crapPlease, learn to use your operating system before posting abusive comments.- AlsterNOTE: I'll delete this post if you were not referring to Eclipse.
