Co-op Editing Question

When do you estimate the master server for online multiplayer will be up and running? Or is it already and I just don't know about it? Also, is there a way to do co-op edit over the internet currently if the master server isn't working yet?

I'm not sure if they plan on ever putting up a master server, and of course you can do co-op editing without a master server. A computer has to run the server batch (server.bat for windows users) and players have to type "/connect <IP Address>" to connect to it. Ports have to be opened for the server to work assuming it has a router. When in game type "/coop <map name>" to start a map, other players have to type the same thing. "/sendmap" will send your map to the server for other players to type "/getmap" to obtain it, so that way players will see the same thing.

It's planned, it's just on the open source schedule. That famous open source quote applies...
It'll be done when it's done.

Okay. I forwarded my ports. I'm gonna try and see if this works tomorrow. Or possibly tonight.
OH! Almost forgot. The IP is 192.168.1.10. If anyone wants to try to do Co-op with me, PM me when I'm online and I'll set up a server.

That's an internal IP...

I think, in command prompt, you type...ahh, wait, no.
Is your server behind the same router as the computer you are visiting with? Because if that is the case, I can grab your IP from phpBB.

Well, I think so. I'm pretty new to networking, but I think that's right.

Does that mean it'll work for setting up a server?
