Hi guys,

How do you create a multiplayer local game, not join one?

The command /mp IP seems to be meant to exclusivly join an multiplayer game but im looking to create one and allow players to join it (must be local).

Can anyone point me to a tutorial or something? Thanks

Hi Cargame,

Thank you for the reply, but this is for creating a multiplayer game, im looking for a way to do this directly with insim, without the need to setup manualy. For clarity, to start a singleplayer game, you can send a number of comands "/sp" and select the tracs and such with similar comands as seen here: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Keys
Is there a way to do this with insim?

I might misunderstand your question, but why would you need a program to set up a LFS server through Insim protocol?
You can either start a server from your regular LFS client, or you can download Dcon, write a settings file and start the server with those settings.

Hi Yisc, thank you for taking the time to respond.

I need to have the server setup without direct human interraction. Which is why im trying to set it up with insim (through code is also acceptable, im working in c# but cant figure out any other way then to simulate clicking in specific screen coordinates, which isint exactly a great idea.

Best thing to do is download Dcon: https://www.lfs.net/file_lfs.php?name=LFS_S2_DCON_6J.zip

- Unzip the file
- Write a config file (like the example I included in this message *) and place the file in the DCon folder
- Create a shortcut to Dcon.exe
- Open the properties of the shortcut and adjust target to be like this: C:\LFS_S2_DCON_6J\DCon.exe /cfg=server_cfg.txt

When you now double click the short, the LFS server will be started and the settings specified in the config file, will be applied to the server

* I have removed the hostname, admin password and user password, so you need to set those values in the file your self

Hi yisc, thank you for the help, il look into this solution and see if it fits my needs, thank you!

See if you can connect to this server.

- Download the file
- Unzip the file and put the directory on your C drive
- Open folder "C:\LFS_S2_DCON_6J"
- Double click "DCon.exe - Shortcut" to start the server
- Start your regular LFS client and see if you can connect to this server (it hasn't got a password)
