Topic: Dynaverse 2 LAN Play?

[fred]

Hi all,

was wondering if it is possible to set up dynaverse solely for a LAN game when I have a LAN party next?

I've been playing around with it a bit and it always seems to want to connect to some sort of central server.

Thanks for any help.

Can be done I think, (but tricky) the D2 server and all clients need to be able to see the directory server and satisfy the firewall server's requirements.

As a first step, edit your ServersSetup.gf so the [WONDirectoryServer/Addresses] section reads as below to connect to the current directory server (old one is still referenced in the server kit).

[WONDirectoryServer/Addresses]
0="client.sfc.dynaverse.net:15101"
1="client.dynaverse.net:15101"
2="sfc2.directory.stasis.ca:15101"

If we were to ask for permission to release the Directory and Firewall servers then it would be relatively easy and wouldn't require an internet connection at all.

In the meantime see the following links:
