How do I beam from one server to another on LAN game?

[Heaney]

Hello, I have just joined here through the merge with STORP.

I heard that it is possible to beam from one server to another...

I have a few questions.

1. Can I do this myself? (on a LAN server for playing with friends)
2. How do I do this myself? Is it hard?
3. What is the maximum number of servers you can beam between? Just 2... or more?

Thanks.

Hey Heaney, welcome to TLO!

Beaming from one server to another is an rpgxEF-only feature that's not something we've really tested. We do run an rpgxEF server, but only the one, so there aren't really any other servers for you to beam to/from (except servers operated by other groups).

As far as how it works, I can't really say - I haven't tried it. However, I will direct your question to GSIO, the rpgxEF developer. He visits these forums occasionally

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

1. Yes
2. Yes, it is not that complicated
3. 5

So what you need is:
- multiple servers running the latest beta of RPG-X, if they run on the same maschine each server has either to run on a separate install or on a separate fs_homepath (which includes the baseEF and RPG-X2 folder)
This tutorial describes how to setup a server for server change.

Sorry!

Thank you for that information and that link! I'll try it out.

There's only one bit I don't get. I understand the config bits but how do I use it once actually in-game?

It only works with maps that use the Transporter UI (for example Station Iowa). Older maps can be updated by Lua scripting but thats a bit more work to do and I don't have written a tutorial about that yet.

@Veritas: Serverchange is a core RPG-X feature and will work with the non rpgxEF version of RPG-X as well once it is released. It just won't have multisever chat like the rpgxEF version will have once that is implemented into rpgxEF.

As soon as that's an available feature, you can bet our servers will have it functional.
