So things got a little nuts by day six. Digi found a rocket launcher and decided to use it to hunt deer with. Jimmy grabbed an axe and formed a demolition company. Also, I tried to punch a pig to death.
Yeah, the player limitation is a problem at the time being. Many of us were just waiting our turn to play all day yesterday as the first group of four was having too much fun. We really really need another server.
Is there just one server? Or if we have say 8 or 12 people can we pair up in groups of 4?
Servers have to be hosted by one of the players. Currently @cannonfodder and I have been able to get everything working.
There are instructions out there for setting up a dedicated server, but there is no way to cleanly close the server so when it closes, you lose the world.
The best way to run the server currently is:
1) Forward ports 25000-25010 UDP & TCP to your pc 2) Run the game 3) Create your world 4) Start playing
When you run a single player game it actually starts up a full server as well so as long as you have the ports forwarded and are in the game, the server is up. Running it this way you can quit the game and everything seems to save correctly. MAKE SURE to have players quit and relog occasionally to make sure their stuff is saved. Also occassionally have everyone disconnect and close the server game to make sure IT saves everything. If the game crashes it will roll back to the last point it had saved (the last point a clean disconnect happened).
So I played for a bit. It is definitely fun and I love the foraging for supplies and crafting system. I can definitely see how this would be a lot more fun multiplayer. I accidently ran off the edge of the world and couldn't figure out what was hurting me, until I saw the map was a different color.
Took my lunch to put together some highlights from the Aug 19th:
(In these videos here I had my setup wrong and none of my voice was captured)
This one makes me giggle every damn time and I've watched it 11ty times. @UPSLynx is so pleased at how comfy we are. You can hear the giggle in @TiberiusLazarus voice.
This stuff mostly happens at night. Call it cabin fever in-game. The loud noise you hear is the zombies trying to break down our building. During the day they are at annoyance level. You have to keep an eye on them but you can easily get away from groups of them. At night, they are Left 4 Dead style up in your shit. They can not climb ladders or jump but they can destroy the building you are in to get to you.
