Rymosrac Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Sorry to be pestering you guys for information when you're probably as busy as you've ever been with this project, but my LAN group wanted to run a local event to celebrate the release of RenX, and as the closest thing to a competent individual in the group, it's falling to me to figure this out. Or bother someone else until they figure it out for me. I've been trying to piece it together from the sparse documentation posted here and on the UDK wiki, but I'm not having much luck. How do I configure a server to be LAN instead of online? Just the normal UDK bIsLanMatch doesn't seem to be a functional command. And is there and easy way to connect to a LAN server other than via console? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numrollen Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Im also looking forward to this. we plan a LAN in 1.5 weeks and i dont know how to do this. 2: why i cant add bots to the server? we are only 8 ppl and want to play bigger maps with coop we dont like 5min. Games. they should be big, many options, more tactic then simple rush in, die, rush in, die. 3: Restrict to first person would be also good for server options. Looking around corners and stones but the enemy cant see you is unfair (imo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RypeL Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 You host a lan server like a dedicated server. you can specify an admin password then login as admin and type admin addbots x to add bots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isomorph Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Finally... You should add the bots how to to the basic server descriptions! Thank you anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rymosrac Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 So, problem. To run a LAN game, you recommend that I just host a normal game and password it so people online don't join. And you have to join LAN games through the console, right? Well, connecting through the console doesn't give you an opportunity to enter a password. It just ejects you back to the main menu after the connection attempt immediately fails. What do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethernet Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 You can directly connect over IP in the game without using the console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
