LAN Gaming
To set up a network multiplayer game with other players, first decide who is going to host the game. All other players will then join that game.Hosting a network game
Select Multiplayer Game> Host a new game
You first need to define your network configuration.
Select your network protocol from IPX or TCP/IP.
Most networked machines will have protocols installed, however if you only have
one, ensure that your 1nsane network setup uses that protocol.
Enter a session name of your choice.
This is the name that the other players will connect to across the network.
1nsane needs to know what sort of network you are playing over.
Select PEER-TO-PEER if all machines in the game are connected to each other in a 'ring' formation.
Choose CLIENT-SERVER if all machines connect to a central server.
Once you have set up the network configuration, you're ready to get the game going.
Joining a Multiplayer game
To join a game, select JOIN GAME from the mutiplayer menu.
Choose your network type ( match the host's network type ) and hit START.
1nsane will search for available games on your network. Select the game you wish to join from the list shown and hit ENTER.
If you have the host's I.P address, you can connect directly to the host by entering it in the SERVER ADDRESS option.
An easy way for hosts to obtain their I.P address for internet games is to visit Whatismyip.com and then sending the address to the other players.
On the next screen, choose your vehicle and select READY. When all players have shown they're ready, the host can begin the game.
Starting a multiplayer game
Before starting a game, the host needs to choose the type of game to be played.
Select GAME OPTIONS to set up the game, choosing the game type, location etc.
Then pick your vehicle and paint job.
As other players join, their chosen vehicles will appear in the grid on the left
of the screen. To talk to them, select CHAT and type your message, hit ENTER to send it.
If a player is unwelcome, or is annoying the host, they can be kicked from the game by using KICK PLAYER.
When everyone has joined and has selected READY, you're ready to play. Select START.
