OTHER MULTIPLAYER FEATURES
Stats Display
Pressing F7 while in a multiplayer game will display statistics on the
current game, including kills, deaths, suicides, time in game, etc.
Use PageUp and PageDown to scroll the list.
Markers
In multiplayer, each player is given two markers. These can be dropped
in the level and then used to find your way or to spy on your opponents.
Use the Shift-F1/F2 keys to view the action from your dropped markers.
Hosts Allow/Deny Files
You can control what machines are allowed access to your game by
listing IP addresses in the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files. These optional
files contain lists of IP addresses, one per line, that determine whether
machines using those IP addresses will be allowed or denied access to
your game. These files are located in the Netgames directory.
AUTOEXEC.DMFC
Whenever you join or start a game, Descent 3 will look for a file called
AUTOEXEC.DMFC in your Netgames directory. If this file is found, the
game will read a list of Multiplayer Control Commands from the file and
execute them immediately. You can use this file to specify options that
you want set every time you play a game.
FIREWALLS AND PROXIES
You can play a Descent 3 net game over the Internet from
behind a firewall or proxy, if you can talk your network administrators into
opening the following ports:
UDP 2092
TCP 7170
If you experience problems, run the NETTEST.EXE program that's included
in the Descent 3 Demo 2 directory. It will verify that your network and
firewall configuration is operational, and will give you specific reasons for any
failures that it finds. You can get help by launching the program by typing
NETTEST.EXE --HELP for some information on its use.
