sw multiplayer questions
- i tried to start a multiplayer shadow warrior game but was not very successful and i had to look through a lot of forum pages just to find out how to start a game...
i could use some clearing up:Peer-to-peer mode appears to work fine, but master-slave mode is broken and has been disabled for this release.
does this mean that only two player games are possible?
i found no documentation about these networking command line arguments like -net IP -n1
what does -n1 do?
i tried to start a 3 player game by typing something like
sw.exe -net -n1 IP1 IP2
sw.exe -net IP1 IP3 -n1
sw.exe -net IP3 IP2 -n1
and the best result were 3 "entering level" screens...
two player games work fine.
is there something i can do to help?
i got some programming experience but have never worked on such a big project like a game.
is there some documentation about the source? i did not even find the "main function" :)
thx Re: sw multiplayer questions
Fore some reason, the documentation of JFSW is missing the multi-player aspect. Just use the docs of JFDuke3D, because the way to start a multi-player game is the same.
To make it a bit easier this is said in the docs of JFDuke3D:
(this is just an example)
faye 192.168.1.2
asuka 192.168.1.5
kaoru 192.168.1.6
asuka
DUKE3D.EXE /net /n1 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.6
faye
DUKE3D.EXE /net 192.168.1.5 /n1 192.168.1.6
kaoru
DUKE3D.EXE /net 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.2 /n1- Can I play using fake multiplayer in JFSW?
- If you mean a multiplayer game with bots, it's currently impossible, but you can host a game and set 127.0.0.1 as the address of the joining opponent for something like a "mirror deathmatch", which's stupid ;D
- I know this funny thing. I did this with eduke32. I connected myself and played cooperative with "bot" :) I was turned at certain direction, so I and "bot" killed one monster together with pistols! But I like playing with bots more than with "bots".
