Spring on a LAN
Playing on a LAN
Introduction
Hosting a LAN game of Spring is very simple.
First, you must have a working LAN. Obviously this is not within the scope of this article, so you are on your own there.
Once you have your network working, you can proceed. You must first install the following items:
Lobby Server Machine
Client Machine(s)
That's it!
We will now discuss startup and configuration.
Running the Server
After the server has successfully been started, the players have to log in the local lobby server by entering its IP in the server field of their lobby clients (SpringLobby by default). The player hosting the lobby server can use "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" instead of his own ip.
Once every one is logged into the local lobby server you can host battle in the usual way and play spring in your LAN.
How to get the lobby server ip
The player hosting the lobby server has to give his IP to all the players in the lan.
Windows
- Press Windows Key + R
- Type "cmd"
