hello

i dont think it is a good place for this an d this trade has to stand in multiplayer but oke

how do you start a server

i dont want start the sever on starting from the game white -cl -sv -cl

but start it when i want

function start_sever_func
{
start_server(level_name);
}

sombody knows how to do that

is there a way to do that white -sv -cl ore whiteout -sv -cl but not from the begin of the start of the game

Do you mean a lobby or game menu where the player beforehand selects the type of game he/she wants to play? Such as SP/MP, client and or server? Yes sure and maybe Prototype from Michael Schwarz shows a sample code.

If I'm correct, he wants to do it without having to execute the game again with new arguments, as in Quake3 Arena and many others.
Using the arguments one can do something like Call of Duty, which has a SP exe and an MP exe.

Maybe with Lite-C, i'm not sure if you can create a standalone without Pro?

About server , I have no idea.
For clients :

Quote:

---

session_connect(STRING* session,STRING* hostname)
Switches to a different session on another server. The first string parameter contains the name of the new session, the second parameter gives the name, domain or IP address of the new server. This way, level or zone changing in a multiplayer environment can easily be performed.

Edition:
Pro

Speed:
Slow

Remarks:
This instruction can be used to switch the engine to client mode even if it wasn't started with the -cl command line option. Note that after switching from normal to client mode, the level has to be loaded anew. Switching the engine to client mode at run time has certain consequences for the script. IFDEF CLIENT can not be used - it's undefined because the engine was not started with the -cl option. Client dependent functions or initializations must run _after_ connecting to a session. For instance, creating a client player in the main function won't work when the engine was not in client mode when running main(). A good place for creating the client player is after reloading the level after connection.

thnx for looking

yeah i want to build somthing lik a stand alone server

something like this

function start_server1
{
if(imaketheserver == 1);
{
start_server(session_name,my_ip);
}
}

on_s = start_server1

it doesnt matter how manny people connect because i am going to kick them

and maby but this doesnt have to be

function start_server1
{
if(imaketheserver == 1);
{
start_server(session_name,my_ip);
session_name += 1;
start_server(session_name,my_ip);
session_name += 1;
start_server(session_name,my_ip);
session_name += 1;
start_server(session_name,my_ip);
session_name += 1;
start_server(session_name,my_ip);
}
}

on_s = start_server1

You could make 2 applications , one like a menu before you start the server,where you can save your options to an ini file for example , and then use the first to start the multiplayer server/client(the second)

something like making 2 games
one as client and one as server whose session name is change by a .txt ore somthing

because i need rooms for 2 players
they can go in like room 1 ore room 20

is there somthing to change the session_name
because it is read only

ore do i need to make 22 differt games
1 client
1 main server
20 rooms

Have you been able to get a multiplayer game up and running, just basic, from tutorial or something?
