RPG-X Complete Edition Install & Getting Started Guide
written by Telex Ferra, edited by Veritas
Hello! This guide will walk you through the installation of RPG-X Complete Edition for PC!
*Mac users should consult the old install guide HERE

First, download the RPG-X Complete Edition installer here (TLO members only) The file is approximately 750MB in size and may take some time; we highly recommend that you right-click and save as when clicking the download links so you are able to access the installer again if needed.

1: Double click the RPG-X Complete Edition installer. (NOTE that your .exe may have a slightly different name than the one in the picture)

2: Read the entire End User License Agreement and then check 'I accept the agreement.'

3: Choose an install directory for RPG-X Complete Edition. We highly recommend the default directory and will refer to it in further instructions.

4: Wait for RPG-X Complete Edition to install. This may some time.

5: Double click the desktop shortcut to open RPG-X. Press alt+tab once RPG-X opens so that you can read the guide while RPG-X is open. (You can return to fullscreen by pressing alt+enter again.)

6: You should be on the RPG-X home screen. First, click configure.

7: (Optional) Go to Game Options and check your keybinding and graphics settings, then return to the home screen.

8: Go to Player Settings and set your "class set" and "rank set" to tlo. From this menu, you can change your name, rank, class, height, and weight. Feel free to play around with these settings. Also, notice the "player model" section. You should browse this list and see all of the different models you can use while roleplaying. Once you're done looking around, return to the home screen.

9: Click "Search for Server"

10: Make sure that all of your settings at the top (Servers, Game Type, Sort Type, Show Full, and Show Empty) match the ones in the picture. Click on "The Last Outpist | RPG-X2 2 beta 8" and press engage at the lower right. If all has gone well, you will arrive on the TLO server.

11: As you arrive on the server, you should know some of the very basics of playing RPG-X. (More complicated commands and how to RP will be covered in the Academy) You can walk with either the arrow keys or the WASD keys. To scroll through your items, use your mouse wheel or the number keys on your keyboard. [/align:3nsfraic]


Do not draw nor fire your phaser. This is considered very disruptive to an RP.
12: You can press t to send a message to everyone on the server. You can also press y to send messages to only people around you. Please be mindful of any RP going on; use parenthesis for out-of-character discussion. 
If you have all the required files and still encounter errors connecting, you can contact us for support by visiting the Engineering forum here. Before you do so, please determine your error using the information found here - it will help us to help you.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed RPG-X. You have completed all of the required installation steps! You can now roleplay with us on our regular roleplaying server!
