<div class="IPBDescription">Creating an internet game</div> I searched around a bit for help on this, I know I found it before, but I can't find it now. I'm creating an internet game, not dedicated, just to mess around with a few buddies.
Whenever I create a server I try to make it an internet game so people can connect through steam. Yet I create it, no problem, wait for my friends to join, and they tell me that they get this error
Lan Games Are Restricted To Local Clients
We try vice versa, same problem. But I get this problem every time I create an NS server, it seems to work perfectly fine with any other mod, just NS has this problem. I know it's something about changing a 0 to a 1.. but it's been so long since I've done so I can't remember.
Any help is appreciated.
Edit: Bleh, I forgot to add, incase needed, I'm running Beta4a. Windows XP, 2.8 gig pent 4 proc, 512 ram.. don't see how my stats could be a problem.
Edit #2: Ok I reread my crap and typed it over again, since it made no sense <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

create the server as a dedicated server, other clients will connect via the standard internet tab of their steam server window, while you can connect to it via the lan tab of the steam server browser. this way you won't be limited to just lan clients.
Then also make sure u uncheck lan serv er when you create the server.
For some reason when you create a listen server it forgets to change this cvar
it does? lol
