Same thing with me. I connect over lan, but there is no one else in the game.

Try having the clients connect with

/connect ip

whereas ip is the adress of the server in the network.

Exactly. A server bound to 127.0.0.1 will only be accessible by the same computer. Just run a server normally and have the other clients connect to the server's IP.

-mlocalhost only keeps the server from registering on the masterserver ... I guess you confused it with "-i".

If you are really trying to run on a LAN the "/lanconnect" command should actually work ... but - of course - "/connect 192.168.123.123" (or whatever non-routable subnet/IP you're using) will always work too.

lanconnect stopped working for me (to connect to localhost) a few releases ago

Using hamachi is fine too.

#7: LAN Party

I had a lan party and here is how I set up sauer.

1 computer is running server.bat after you edit it to say -llocalhost

Then, on the same computer run sauerbraten, and type

/connect localhost

Then, run sauer on each computer, and type

/lanconnect




That worked fine for me.

-m != -l
-m for masterserver, with -mlocalhost just being a nice default for "don't register"
-l for startup-map ... which doesn't affect a server
please take care when trying to help not to write stuff obviously bogus, thank you.

lanconnect still works fine for me, network full of OS X machines.

Does lanconnect work via Hamachi as well? I've not tested that yet.

Yep. It works fine. Ping have been around 75 on my ISP (free.fr) on a 2,5 megabyte connection

See what happens ... conorjkirk ...
See posts #4 and #8 to find out where he lead you astray ... "-l" != "-m" ... oh ... and RTFM (e.g. docs/config.html)

well if your VPN is setup correctly it should work - regardless of the VPN-software used - since the non-routable packets are tunneled.
