Hi, I started my game in the first pc as "torque\example\torqueDemo.exe -mod racing" then in another pc i activate it with the same command but when i click on join server, i can't see any thing.
May I know what are the steps or command must i do to link up 2 to 3 computer to set up a multiplayer game.
Thanks

Maybe torque.exe isn't the right filename? What is the filename of your executable?

Then in the console mode i type in the pc's ip address and an error message- No class with declared id type
1)what went wrong....
2)what about my next computer, what should i do with it to link them both up.
3)Should I ping to the master server for networking.

the "msdos-window" that appeared is your dedicated server running. the % is the commandline prompt for the dedicated server, you can send various commands to the server to be executed (these are internal commands, so your try to type "torque.exe -mod racing" will give you the error).
so, you got your dedicated server up and running, now you'd need to connect to it. start ANOTHER torque_demo.exe -mod racing. when the program is running, open the console (^-key) and type connect("x.x.x.x"); where x.x.x.x is the IP-adress of your dedicated server. torque should connect to your server. you may want so switch to the ms-dos-window and watch the outpot there. do this for every client you want to connect and everything should be fine ...
[edit]
dont just type the ip-adress but connect("x.x.x.x");

so, the "join server" gui doesn't work yet as for as i know.
so just start a server. i would start a dedicated server. Just enter
"torque.exe -mod racing -dedicated -map fps/data/mission/whatever.mis"
then start your your engine with what you have done. so "torque.exe -mod racing". when started, open up
the console and enter this connect("your ip"); for example connect("192.168.1.1");
then startup the other machine and do the same with its ip.
this should work. after you enterd this string, i should start the mission automatique.
Sorry about my english and bad spelling. Maybe the syntax isn't correct. But i think so.
