Hosting your own server
RPG is right - try to be more specific. I'll pretend to bind the ESP protocol and read your mind ..... you want to know how to start a server on your machine, then join it as a client right? Well if that's the case, you do the following:
1. Select "Join Game"
2. Enter Call Sign
3. Enter IP address of your machine.
4. Select "Start Server"
5. Configure your options on this page or accept the defaults and ...
6. Select "Start" at the bottom. When you do that, it indicates "Server Started" if successful.
7. Press the ESC key to go back one menu
8. Select "Connect" and you're in the server game hosted on your computer.
9. Press "i" to start the game.
Anyone else on your LAN can join by following the same steps except they should skip steps 3 - 7. For step 3, they should enter the ip address of your machine where the server is hosted.
