Multiple Client Instances on one machine

by Christoph Niederberger · in Torque Game Engine · 11/20/2001 (1:40 am) · 6 replies

Is there any possibility to run more than one instance of a client on one computer?
I tested this with the demo but it doesn't work.

If you copy your entire example folder (or whatever yours are called) and then start this game as well then you can.

Cool, that works fine!
But I can't run one as a server and let the other instance connect to the server... does the server has to be on another hardware? Or does the server query overlooks localhost?

From memory, there was already a thread on this point. If I remembered correctly you have to change the port number of one of your client as it will be the same for the two clients. It's somewhere in the .cs file.

Doesn't really work for me.
If i just copy the example folder and run this NEW instance of TorqueDemo, a new Console window will appear and then disappear, leaving the original window and client as it is.

Therefore only 1 client can be opened on my machine. Can someone verify this? Or do u have a solution?

Try making Platform::excludeInstance do nothing.
