Play multiplayer

Introduction

Vehicle works with P2P (Peer-to-Peer), which means that one person hosts a game, and all other persons join the game.

The player who is hosting creates a local server which is only accessible in the LAN the player is in. The other persons are joining, they are connecting to the server. This means that Vehicle multiplayer currently only works, if all players are in the same LAN.

Hosting

First you need to choose your Vehicle (player-specific), the world (game-specific), and if the day-night cycle is enabled (game-specific). Then pres the Host multiplayer game button, to create the server. In the dialog that appears, you have three options:

• The maximum players that can join,
• the port your server runs on, and
• your name.

Fill in these options and press OK: The other players are ready to join!

Join

To join you first need to select your vehicle. The other options (world and day-night cycle) are controlled by the server, so it has no effect what you select here. Then press the Join multiplayer game button. Now you have a dialog with three options:

• The port of the server (Ask the player who hosted to get it),
• the IP of the server (The IP of the player who hosted), and
• your name

Fill these out and press OK: You're ready to drive!
