Multiplayer game: How to invit my friends ?

[Odelpasso]

HI,

I create a multiplayer account in-game and I can create and to host a game.

But I can only choose AI in my team or as enemy.

I would like to know if a friend can to join me in my multi game than I create. Because I don't found an "invit" button.

Thanks for your help and sorry for my english, I'm French.

You can create a game in the lobby I suppose?

[Odelpasso]

Yes I can.

Hi and welcome to the forums,

if you are hosting via lobby, your friend has to join the lobby too, find your game in the servers list and join it there. You don't need to do anything inside the game to 'invite' him/her.

Note though, that in order to host, UDP port 20595 on your computer should be accessible from the Internet (if your router supports UPnP, the game will do this automatically, otherwise you have to forward that port manually), or else no one will be able to join your game.

Hello FcxSanya,

Thanks for your help, all works correctly. But i have an other question. I would like to know if it's possible de create "private" party in 0ad.

Thanks,

Not currently. Although you can kick/ban people and set no observers, so, you can do it somehow.

This doesn't seem to be very nice to other people though. To setup a private game it's better to host without lobby (Main menu -> Multiplayer -> Host Game) and give your friends IP to connect to (see Manual: Hosting a new game and the next subsection).

You can always explain that you're making a private game. But I agree, isn't very friendly.
