[Guide] Running a server through Hamachi

[Atkana]

I wrote up an impromptu guide for someone in Discord once and have seen enough people asking how to set up tes3mp for Hamachi that I thought I should probably post something here :P This guide assumes you at least know how to use Hamachi.

If you want to host a server

Open tes3mp-server-default.cfg and change the following settings:

1. Under [MasterServer] set enabled to false. This ensures that your server won't appear on the server browser list.
   
2. Optional: Under [General] set the password to whatever you want. Because other players will likely only be able to connect if they're in your hamachi network, this probably isn't necessary, but it helps to be safe.

With all that set, you should be good to go. You'll still have to follow the next section's steps if you want to be able to join the server you're hosting

If you want to join a server

Open tes3mp-client-default.cfg and change the following settings:

1. If you aren't the host, then under [General] set the destinationAddress to the host's Hamachi IPv4 address. The host should leave this value on its default.
   
2. If the server is password protected, then under [General] you should also enter the password into the password field.

In order to join the server, run tes3mp.exe rather than tes3mp-browser.exe.
