I have been thinking about making a multiplayer game for a while and I grasp some of the concepts but I just need help with doing them the right way. I want to create a multiplayer game for about 10 people for right now just for testing. I have a computer in mind for the server. Is this the right order of steps?
Any help is appreciated thank you!
Hey Nwhatchel,
Here are some links to the documentation we have available on multiplayer and networking.
Good luck!

Thanks for your answer but I still have not been able to get my friends to connect from another city, I have opened up port 7777 on the firewall settings of my router and my system is setup with a dynamic ip address, I also have that address attached to a domain name with the no-ip service. The client cant even connect through the console commands when they have the game open by typing: open insert ip address here. Its hard to setup and I cant find anything on setting up the ip addresses for the clients to connect. What am I doing wrong?
Do you have any logs that you would be able to provide to us? How about showing us what you’re doing with screenshots? That might be more helpful for us to see if there is a mistake anywhere.
Thanks!
