Multiplayer fix as of 19/10/2024

[VsUK]

Ok, firstly download this zip file, you may need to copy & past the URL into your browser.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tQI0aapY40ezfU4GkNZizLVtwxSgOl8G/view?usp=sharing

This is from my junk google drive account.
Extract it the zip file.
Copy the contents & paste them into Info\Lua\Gamemodes\Invasion directory of your castle story directory. Replace any files it prompts.
Then to host locally, open the game
Multiplayer
Host
Pick any map that has invasion as a mode & then select invasion.
Then select VsUK MP Fix. This bit is to allow people to join, you don't have to keep it.
For reliability, all players must have extracted & pasted in the same files, but it should work if only the host has it.

Now to join, if your on a local network, if you join & the game doesn't show up, click custom IP & type in the computers local IP, it will usually start with 192.168.x.x Open up cmd & type ipconfig will show this on the host machine.

If your connecting over the internet, the host needs to port forward to their PC in their router. You port forward to the hosts local IP which again would start with 192.168.x.x
The port for UDP & TDP should be 3000.
Then, to connect to the host, type in their public IP, they can find this by googling what is my IP & give this to the players wanting to join & the port should be 3000 as normal.

Once players have joined the lobby, the host can then change the map, mode & preset. You have to start with VsUK MP Fix on invasion mode to allow people to join the lobby.
Ready up & launch.

Just remember, its slow, the host has to enter world 100% before everyone else will start to enter the world. This is slow so let it load.

why would we need this for MP?

When we can use radmin and join a base game from there?

just wondering, thanks

radminvpn is much easier than port forwarding. you didn't specify that what you actually fix in game - looks like you are trying to fix the fact that you cannot play multiple sets of bricktrons in invasion (in other modes you can in vanilla already)
