That would be a load of fun, I say. It would test the mobility of the Mettool-holder in a way that current deathmatches often don't encourage, as one must be careful not to get ambushed or raped from behind.

Right, and since they're holding a mettool, they wouldn't be able to attack.

I guess I'm beyond newbish here, but I'd like to host a game for friends and family.

1.) How do I know where port 10666 is? What is it? How do I find it, and find out if it's open?

2.) I know my IP, but when I plug it in and press "host", it takes me to a blue screen where it tries to connect, connect, connect... and it doesn't.. why is this?

3.) I found a fair amount of bugs, Cut. I sent you an email with the list.

Love the game!

I'm not good with ports... so I'll just answer your second question.

The problem is that the port is not open. So yeah. You have to have your first question answered first.

It seems pretty pointless to sign your post with your name if we can clearly see your username.

To open a port, you have to go through several steps.  The first and easiest is to go to the control panel, and open up windows Firewall.  Click on "Add Port" on the exceptions page.  Type in 10666 as the port.

The second step is annoying and a bit aggravating if you haven't done it before.  Go to http://portforward.com/ and find the name of your router, and follow the steps it gives you.

After that, when you are actually hosting, make sure you give them the right IP address or they won't be able to connect.  Give them the one you see here:
http://www.whatismyip.com/ .  If it doesn't work, try adding a one in front of it (ie 98.xx.xx.xx becomes 198.xx.xx.xx), and if it still doesn't work, go through all the steps again.

Also, certain ISP's (internet service providers) don't let you forward ports on your own.  If you have one of these ISP's, you may have to call them.  For example, my ISP is Cavalier Telephone, and they don't let you forward ports on your own, so whenever I want a new port forwarded and opened, I have to call them and ask them to do it.

That is an enormous bitch, I've never heard anything like that  :(

Yeah, you have no idea what an inconvenience that can come to be.

I sign my name not with the intention of being reckless with its use, but because it's a formality.  Suppose I'm used to doing this because I have a Degree, own a small business, etc.  Though explaining that might be pointless because I'm here for the purpose of receiving informal help, rather than proving a point that need not be proven.  Therefore, I will sign my name if I damn well please.

Regarding your instructions, they led me here and there, but the procedure is much more complex than you explained, Namo. Yeah it is pretty aggravating. I may need to read further into it, or receive first hand instruction.

Thanks for your help!

No problem pal.  Trust me after the first time you forward and open a port, it's pretty much a cakewalk each consecutive time.  Good luck with it  :cool:

Is anybody else having a problem finding servers?  Starting last night, none were appearing on the server list, not even the one that I'm hosting.

What program are you using?

I have hunch it's because of this rather damn inconvenient decision: http://www.skulltag.net/forum/./viewtop ... 16&t=26039

^If this is the case, you should still be able to connect to server just fine. Just not see them in the master server list

I'm using the game's internal browser.  It worked up until about 8:00PM Central time last night.
