How Does MP LAN Work?

Thu Mar 01, 2007 7:09 am by The Anarchist

I'm really new to the full version of Freelancer; I've had the demo for almost a month and really enjoyed it. I'm considering having a few friends over this weekend to have a LAN game, and I'm wondering how it works. I just tested it a little, and I went back when it showed the ID code or whatever because I didn't want to mess it up. How do you do LAN with Freelancer and how does the code work exactly?

The ID code that gets displayed is your Multiplayer Online code, its unique to you so no other person will have the same one..... period. Its so you can logo onto a server without using anybody elses characters and so the admins can see whos on the server etc. the LAN works by setting up a server "look for FLserver" just start it up, fillin some of the details and the checkboxes "by default you cant kill anyone so checking the box to make players kill other players you can) just start up Freelancer, go to the Multiplayer button, click on LAN and itll be there. it will display your IP address of your LAN connection (usually 192.168.x.x) and the name of it (By defualt this is My FLserver or FLServer) so you and your friends can join that server and play
