Topic: How to play over LAN?

HI! Yesterday, I first time run teewars. Excellent game. I played with my mates over LAN (everybody was connect to the router, we run the game, choose LAN and there was unnamed server - there we play). Today in the LAN section thera are other servers but there isn't our LAN server. What's wrong? How we can play?

Re: How to play over LAN?

Do you mean, there's other servers in the LAN section, which you or your friends don't know anything about?

Re: How to play over LAN?

yes exactly, sometimes in LAN section there are other servers (even from germany - but i think that are just Internet Servers) but after refreshing every single one disappear. And still there is no our LAN connection available. I also tried using hamachi. Didn't help. Can someone help us?

Re: How to play over LAN?

Have you tried restarting the server and then refreshing the LAN menu?

Also, does your server correctly start, are there any error messages in the console window?

I've also noticed a bug which sometimes displays Internet servers in my LAN menu, I'm sure the dev's will resolve that in time.

Re: How to play over LAN?

I don't restart the server bocouse I didn't create any server. I just run the game, choose LAN, choose unnamed server and played with my mates (it was yesterday). So why today our LAN isn't available?
When I run the game from console I get this:

Re: How to play over LAN?

All games are played on a server! Yesterday you and your friends might have played on an internet server without knowing it!?!?

Start a server on your LAN and then you will see it in your LAN menu and then you can all play together. Check the "Docs" section on this website, it explains how you set up  a server.

Re: How to play over LAN?

maybe:) now I understand:) but it is wired becouse we play over 2 hours and nobody connect to us and the server we played had been always in LAN and always named "unnamed server"

ok, i try to start a server but i get this and nothing happen:

kangur@kangur:~/Gry/teewars$ ./teewars_srv -f /home/kangur/.teewars/fafik.cfg
[47812694][server]: starting...

Re: How to play over LAN?

Re: How to play over LAN?

It looks like everyone should be able to connect to your server. The message "masterserver is 'master.teewars.com'" tells you that it has tried to pass your server info to the master list and because you don't get any error messages that means it was accepted and people should be able to connect to you.

If you want to stop people, either block the port 8303 on your router or add a password to your server.

Re: How to play over LAN?

hmm it is a problem, my server is visible only in LAN. Somebody told me, that in order to make my server available in INTERNET I must have an external IP. But I don't have. I am connected to 2 routers. First give me an Ip 172.16.8.48 --> and that goes to second router which gives IP to my computer, it is 192.168.1.100  --> so my server can be available only for people with ipes 192.168.1.1xx ?? Or maybe is it possible to get machines with ipes 172.16.8.xx connect to me? Or maybe everyone?

Re: How to play over LAN?

Correct. Unless you have port (8303) forwarding in place, only players within the same local network (192.168.1.x) can connect to your server.

For more information about setting up at server, see the Docs page:
http://www.teewars.com/?page=docs&id=168

And check http://portforward.com for help on setting up your router.

Re: How to play over LAN?

How to play over Hamachi? Now when I go to the LAN it is my server but there is no LAN over hamachi, just normal LAN.

What do you mean "there is no LAN over hamachi"?? Do you mean that you can see your server in LAN, but you can not see any other servers in Internet?? If that is the case, that would suggest that Hamachi is blocking your internet access...

Re: How to play over LAN?

No no, I mean, that in LAN section there is my LAN server but it is the normal LAN with ip 192.168.1.101 and there is not a Hamachi LAN with my hamachi ip 5.xxx.xxx.xxx And when my brother try to connect to this LAN server over hamachi he couldnt do that. He also tried to type my hamachi ip but it also didnt help. Can someone tell me step by step how to connect using hamachi? Or maybe someone has a hamachi and would like to try to connect with me in order to test it?

Re: How to play over LAN?

I think you can set what IP it should listen on in the conf-file. bind-adress or something like that.

Re: How to play over LAN?

Re: How to play over LAN?

I have a similar problem with my laptop. Even if i run a server, I don't see one in the LAN-section. It will only appear if I do have an internet(!) connection.

The same teewarssettings on my desktop pc and it runs smoothly.
