In these tutorials we asume you have already installed and set up Battlecom Joining a server/session
Before even thinking of joining a session you must know the IP-address
to the server. If you know a flight using battlecom you have to recive the
IP-address from the host.
When looking on the mainscreen you see some buttons at the top.
1. Hit the "Join Session" button. The window below pops up.
2. Write in name and the IP/Server address.
3. Hit the Connect button. (It take some time to connect, wait at least 20sec.)
4. When connection is esablished BC will switch to Session mode automaticlly.As you see there is an Advanced button on the top. Under Advanced you are
able to switch between TCP/IP and IPX protocol. If you are running BC over a
local network you must switch to IPX/SPX before you connect.When you want to leave the session simply click the same button as before
but its now named "Leave session" or "Stop session".Creating your own Server/Session
If you want to start your own BC server follow these steps:1. Hit the "Host Session" button on the mainscreen.
2. A Wizard will start and it will tell you how to do.
3. Protocol should be TCP/IP over the Internet and IPX when using over LAN.
4. The IP-address will be shown in the address text box. Dont change this
__number. This number is the one you should give out to your friends that you
__want to joinyour server.
5. Next step is a little more advanced. Choose what compression type you
__want. "Delta" is default and this is the one you should use to your regular
__internet games.When use over LAN you may change all way up to CD-quality
__if you need =).
6. Mikeclicks on or off?. You should choose mikeclicks allowed since cause
__people maybe want to use them. If you dont want mikeclicks just switch it of
__on YOUR BC. If you choose Mikeclicks not allowed noone on the server will
__be able to use them.
7. Last step is password on the server. Its good if you have people comming
__in just to mess up your game. Now, if you want to shutdown the server just
__hit "Quit Session" and all players will be ejected automaticlly.
