Okay, so heres how it works (so far).



You select "New Arene", an then build your level. There a few restrictions, manly for speed. Once you have finished your level and saved it, you go to build game, set everything like weapon keys and loading scripts and what-not. Then you go to the arena tab and setup stuff like re-spawning, frag limit and objectives. Then build your game and play it!



When you start the game, you enter your desired player name and then select if you want to hoast or join a game. If you want to hoast, it just starts the server and your off to an exciting mayhem filled melee. If you want to join, you click join and it takes you to a list of servers. You enter the IP of the server you want, and click connect.

No, its alot like a P2P game, But the servers are listed so you can choose which one to connect to.

No, the end user creats there own server, or you could just set up a few computers and do it your self.

Sorry if this is a bit dumb, but I don't really understand...

Say I've made my MP game, how do I "create a server" ???

The .exe runs on my machine, right? & I'm connected to the internet, I want some of my mates to join in... how does it work??? Do they also need the .exe on their machine?
Is there a URL/page they go to to join?

Can I put a "join the game" page on my website?? Or also have a "start a game" option if the running one is full? How would I do this?

Thanks if anyone can help, I really don't know anything about online gaming...

I've got my own webspace (www.beelzebike.com), does this help at all?? Can I "create the server" on the server that my webspace is on?

As for the first part of that question, all parties must have the .exe. You run the game on your computer, as if you were a server. If the game is too full (i.e. 8 players) anyone can host a new game. The 'join' and 'start' options are within the single .exe, so you can't have it on a webpage.

I guess the best way to figure it out is to wait for V1 & experiment with the MP...
