*Server*
1. Open firewall port 2345 for UDP.
2. Install Direct X 9 to the server, be sure its there. The server still
requires it even if you wont paint anything, you dont need graphics card on
your server but you need to install dx9.
3. Open cmd prompt and go to your server install dir (default C:\Program
Files (x86)\realXtend\Tundra for x64 system, drop x86 for others)
4. Run command to start server: "server --headless --protocol udp"
without the " quotes of course.
*Client*
*
*
Lets pretend you started your server and your servers hostname is
my.tundra.com, also IP address of course suits here. Just resolve the net IP
of your server.
1. Go to your install Tundra directory same as above (client and server
are bundled both in the installer.
2. Double click "viewer.exe" to start viewer.
3. On the browser UI go to the left most tab that say "Login"
1. Server: my.tundra.com:2345 (don't put http:// in front)
2. Username: <anything-here-without-spaces>
3. Protocol: Select UDP.
4. Press connect/login button on the right bottom corner.
If you are not getting logged in take a remote to the server and see the
server prints. If it does not print anything a) your IP or port is wrong b)
some firewall is blocking your connection. In the client you can drop
console by pressing F1, but if the connection fails it will not give you
much information im afraid.
Also note that the server is empty when you log in. This is normal and
wanted behaviour. We dont but anything in the scene for you (expect sky and
sun and some fog.) If you seem to be in all grey place, left click the scene
and press space to lift up your camera from the fog.
*Loading some content*
*
*
If you get login to show next you can try loading a real scene:
1. Go to your running server and shut it down with typing "exit" to the
server console.
2. Run this: "server.exe --headless --protocol udp --file
http://www.realxtend.org/world/lvm/lvm_full.txml";
3. Login and see some stuff! You can modify your copy of the scene as you
like, the original source (rex hosted scene) will not get modified, so feel
free to play around. Note this scene might be missing avatar also before its
fixed by toni :)
*Making your own content*
*
*
Once you have your empty scene, you can start dropping meshes, txml/tbin or
ogre scene files into it. Note that by default Tundra will forget the
content when you close it down, this is normal and wanted behavior by
default. To keep your scene between server boots go to the configuration
file that tundra server prints after it has been started! Set the following
in the file (tundra.ini)
[server]
startup_load_enabled=true
shutdown_save_enabled=true
interval_save_enabled=true
Send more questions if you still have problems :) So to get your tundra
world started you have to get some content your self, you can export a scene
from blender and drag and drop it to the scene. I can write detailed
instuctions how to upload the scene to a web server with tundra once you get
to that point.
