Connecting to server by IP

[Plastic Shitlord]

I'm newbie on Serious Sam 3 multiplayer,and I didn't found any way to connect to server by IP-adress.How can i do it?

IIRC, specifying +connect option on command line should do it. If you are referring to a dedicated server. You cannot connect to IP to a listen server, as it needs to process a NAT punch.

I will try,thanks.If something will go wrong,i'll tell.The same,if good.
Because,you know,it's so boring having less than 2 servers with DM :D

(If i'm bad in English,then sorry)

You can also do it from inside the game with these console commands:

gam_strConnectToIP = "ipaddress:port"
gam_esgaStartAs = 2
gamStart()

replace ipaddress:port with the server's ip address and port. You have to write the port even if the server uses the default one (in that case, it is 27015).
Example for a server with ip address 111.22.3.174, listening on port 33173
gam_strConnectToIP = "111.22.3.174:33173"

( what gam_strConnectToIP is for should be self-explanatory. gam_esgaStartAs tells the game to start a game session where the game is a client on a multiplayer session. gamStart() starts a game session with previously defined settings. )
