help new to the game

Basically, one user has to be host. Let's say that is John. John is hosting the server so he most likely will be captain (doesn't have to be the situation of course, just works nicely since he'll have main).

Pre-game:
John needs to configure his internet/wireless routers for the game. John portforwards port 2010 to his computer. (If you need detailed info on this, email me and I'll hook you up.) John determines his WAN IP by going to whatismyip.org (e.g. 69.61.171.116), John remembers it.

John gets all of his crew members connected to a voice chat service, TeamSpeak, Mumble, Skype, Google Hangouts, etc.

John starts up Artemis and chooses "Start Server". Windows may ask john to allow access, John accepts.

John's crew members now get to take action. John's crew starts Artemis in Client mode. John's crew enters John's WAN IP address and selects Connect to Server. John should see connection chains populate under the server settings.

Once John's crew has taken their positions John starts the server and they all merrily kick some Kralien ass.


Note:
John can connect a client to his own computer, he just needs to use 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' where he would normally put the server IP.


If that wasn't detailed enough, email me and I can answer any and all questions you have.
I'm also willing to train on different stations on the weekends if your crew needs it.

hey lucas99801,

Thank you so much for all the help, but i'm still have trouble setting up the portforwards port 2010 with my wireless routers. So if you could help me with that. I have a Belkin routers if that help at all. Well thank you in advance for all your help.

Alright man, do you know your router's IP, username, and password?

Basically we're needing access to your Firewall settings on the router.

If you don't know its IP, open command prompt and enter ipconfig

Past the readout for "Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection" if you're wired, or "Wirelesss Local Area Connection" if you're connected to a wifi router.

Additional question: Do you have a Belkin wireless router connected to another box (from your ISP), cause if that's the case we're going to need to port forward on both!

Yeah I have my belkin router hooked up to verizon router/modem. so your saying i will have to port forward them both if i'm understanding you correctly.

yep. what you'll do is this:

In the verizon modem, find your port forwarding and direct 2010 at your Belkin router.

Then, in your Belkin router, forward 2010 to the PC that is going to be hosting the server.


The general setup for port forwarding is

Name:
External Port:
Internal Port:
Internal Address:
TCP/UDP:

in our case we use:

-Verizon-
Name: [anything]
External Port: 2010
Internal Port: 2010
Internal Address: [IP]
TCP/UDP: TCP, Both if it's an option

-Belkin-
Name: [anything]
External Port: 2010
Internal Port: 2010
Internal Address: [server]
TCP/UDP: TCP, Both if it's an option

ok thank you so much, ill try it out and let you know what happens
