Guest Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 Hi, I'm new to MTA:VC. Me and my friend just want to play 1on1 is that possible? What do we need to do that? Do we login to a server an create a game there or has one of us to set up a server? Are there any special ports that need to be opened? Thanks for your help.
Garuzzo Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 one of you should setup a two player server download the server from mtavc.com, edit the config file with notepad or a similar program so that the servers max players is two, save the config file. run the server and it should be up. youll need to have port 2003 (usually)open to allow the other player to connect.
vass69 Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 well no need for a 2player server, just turn ase off or a pass on
Guardians Proper Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 If you have a router, make sure you use the router's IP address (Your LAN IP) to connect to the server.
vass69 Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 If you have a router, make sure you use the router's IP address (Your LAN IP) to connect to the server. he didnt say they are in lan lol
Guardians Proper Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 Saving him some trouble. If you're on a LAN and you use your Internet IP it can cause problems/lag...
vass69 Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 but if ur not in lan and u se ur lan ip then ur screwed
Guardians Proper Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 but if ur not in lan and u se ur lan ip then ur screwed Of course, it was just in case he has a LAN... If he doesn't, then he must use his 'Net IP.
orappa Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 Erm... I think we've confused the matter far more than was necessary. If you're running it across a LAN On the host PC: Go to Start > Run Type cmd and press enter Now type ipconfig and press enter Your LAN IP will be listed, and you just enter that into the other PC's MTA dialog. If you're running it across the Internet On the host PC: Go to http://www.whatismyip.org Your external IP will be listed, and you just give that to your friend to enter into his MTA dialog.
Guest Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 Thanks for the help. We'll play over the internet, I will have to host. I have a router, but I know how to handle it. I have the port and I know my IP (it's always the same cause I use cable The only thing that may cause problems is to understand how to make up a server for 2, but if I've any further questions I'll aks them here.
Guardians Proper Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 If I try to play it with other PCs on my LAN through the Internet; it's unbelievable crappy and unbearable. (Lag, etc)
orappa Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 If I try to play it with other PCs on my LAN through the Internet; it's unbelievable crappy and unbearable.(Lag, etc) It's also inefficient and somewhat pointless when you have a high(er) speed direct connection to the other machine
Guardians Proper Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 It's also inefficient and somewhat pointless when you have a high(er) speed direct connection to the other machine That's true, but just to give it a test run, I've tried it using my internet IP and it's not something I'd like to do often...

Guardians Proper Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 Like I said, it was simply a test. And there are people dumb enough to play through the Internet when they're actually on a LAN together...
