softworks netcode test
A downloadable game
This is just a multiplayer test, nothing special, but I've never done this before and wanted to see if I can pull it off. If it works, and I find some time, I want to make a bigger multiplayer game in the future.
Download
Install instructions
To run the game on linux, make sure it is on your main hard drive and not on a USB Stick.
You might need to
chmod +x client_linux.x86_64
Then run it with
./client_linux.x86_64
Setting up a custom server
The official server is no longer online since there was not much interest in the game.
If you want to setup your own server, download and run the server with
./server_linux.x86_64 --port 3011
or any other valid port (unless you know exactly what you're doing, choose a number bigger than 1024).
Open the port on your computer (linux: ufw allow 3011, windows: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-server/configure...)
If you are behind a router that does NAT (normal home network routers do), you have to forward the port: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding. You will have to find a tutorial or figure out how it works for your specific router.
Tell other players your IP Address and the port you chose so they can join your game.
