Instructions for use:
Launcher: To play Internet Multiplayer here you
need this Game
Launcher 5.0 Utilitiy installed on your PC.
This race room works by creating Host and Join .FIM files that the server
sends you that when opened, run the Launcher utility to start your MTM
race into Internet mode and either set you up as a Host, or connect you as a
Joiner to the race the Host has running automatically.
Please note that the Launcher Utility will NOT work stand alone.
It needs to be run by opening a .FIM file, which you can only get from the
race room.
Router/Firewall: Note that if you have a router, you need to read
the (soon to come) How to Configure a Router/Firewall help page
if you plan to Host, but in most cases you can Join without Router setup.
Chat:
The Race Room works with or without the Chat Frame open.
In fact, when you click to Launch from a Race Room, the Chat Frame is closed
for you.
This is because the Chat Frame does tend to tax your bandwidth while open.
You can re-open the Chat at any time by simply click the Chat Frame link at
the top of the page, and you can Close the Chat Frame by clicking the red
Exit icon in the very lower right of the Chat Box.
Host/Join:
The Launcher program only works when it
has a .FIM file to use.
The .FIM file is just a simple text file with the info the Launcher needs to
start your game and connect you. You can even open one with Notepad and look
at it if you like.
When a Host launches, he gets a Host(room#).FIM file.
Once he Hosts and his game is actually hosted, the Joiners will see a link to
Launch.
To join or host a room, simply use the links.
A bunch more here including links and what not..
I'll get to that once I make this page do everything I need to host, launch and
do it's own housekeeping. |
