How to setup on a network computer
After installation, you will need to do the following items before going to File->FDS Connect
- Open up BR, and goto the BR Config Tab, set the NETWORK path of the FDS Server directory ("C:/Westwood/RenegadeFDS/Server/" by default) so your network path could be "\\192.168.1.9\FDS\Server\" for example. be sure to enter that path into BOTH text boxes on the BR Config tab, as they are both neccessary.
- Be sure to Save your settings and restart BR.
- Now, open up BR, and goto your FDS Config tab, check the box that says "AllowRemoteAdmin" and enter in a port and password if you haven't already, then click "Save Settings"
- Goto the BR Config tab, and fill in some custom settings there, such as Player Updating and the interval, Auto Rotating Text, etc.. once you have everything to your liking, click "Save Settings" and close BR .Net, now.. reopen it (no errors?... good)
- If the FDS isn't already started, you can goto File->Start FDS, or simply run it from your desktop shortcut. then click File->FDS Connect. After doing this the mapname should update, as well as the Score and player lists.
Congrats, you now have setup BR .Net to work on your FDS, now start playing with some of the custom options, and adding some functionality to the base install.
