Long distance connection ?

posted Mar 31, 2013 15:44:40 by Doctor_Squindo
is there a way to connect to server from long distances, if one of your members weren't able to come all the way to your house but wanted to be apart of it too, and then communicate with skype or somthing like that. it could be realistic ingame that some of the crew were different places of the ship, like submarines, and it would add another kind of depth that you have to give orders with headset.
-knock knock
- who's there
-doctor
-doctor who?

Yes, lots of people play that way. You set up the server locally, set the network to port forwarding the port you are using to the server's address, then give the remote player the external address of your network. Others on these forums have described it better than I can.

Long distance connections? I regulalry play online with people from all over the world! Australia, Canada, USA, UK, Ireland, Turkey, Israel, Belgium... think thats all of them. I run the server on my computer, give an IP to connect and then everyone connects up. It didnt take much form me to configure everything (although I had to do some research) but once it was set up it was done. We use teamspeak to communicate. It does help if everyone can hear everyone else on a ship though. It is suprising the difference it can make if you cannot hear general chatter or have to relay messages.
