Cant Host Server

[DetectiveMo]

Hi,

I would like you to thank you for your amazing work. There is a Issue. I intalled the mod manually and Cities Skylines actually read it perfectly, the mod was suscesfully installed but there is a litte issue. I cannot host a servere, when I click on Host game it dosent do anything, but when I click join its works.

I would like to Host a game for me and my friend but it dosent do anything, can you help us.

Thank you for advance,

Greetings,

PS:Sorry for my bad english

I have not added a debug log, so it's hard to tell what's happening. But there is a good chance that either your firewall is blocking the port, or you need to port forward your router (if hosting over the internet)

It should also be noted that the mod only currently supports connecting, hosting servers and syncing simulation speed. That's about it.

Hi, Thank you for your respond, Is it possible to play LAN toegether, but do we have to host of can we just only click connect. Beacuse If we are on the same internet IP it is possible to only click join game. Or do you have to still host a game. I checked my firewall and its still givinv a problem, I think its my router, beacuse I dont have a port forwaard connection.

greetings

If you are playing LAN, one person must host and the other will connect to it. In this case (as you are LAN), you do not need to port forward.

On the computer you want to host from, type 'ipconfig' in the command prompt to find your IP address, this is the address that the client will connect to.

For example: Your PC: Type 'ipconfig' find an IP Address of 192.168.0.1, host server. Other PC: Click connect, type in '192.168.0.1' and it should connect to the server.

Oke, If you click on host and nothing happends then you cant play (LAN) : (

Once you click host, you are hosting a server. the other person will then click connect and type in the Ip address given as well as the port that is forwarded (if Lan, ignore the port). If you wish to port forward. type in the model number of your router and try to find the admin address, it will be something like 192.168.X.X. if it asks for a login, look up the standard admin login info, unless you changed it it will be the same as the basic. once in the router config page you should have the option to port forward. The standard port is the one that pops up when you click connect, open it with both TDP and UDP protocols.

I couldn't get the install script to run but copying the required files into the mod folder did the trick for me and the mod is now available to use. But as you mentioned in the issue #10 here, on using ModTools to debug for Host Game. Getting the error TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.Threading.CancellationTokenSource' from assembly System.Threading

[DominicMaas]

@shubham-root Is there a System.Threading dll in the mod bin folder? (It should automatically be generated). I forgot to include this in the libs when updating the mod last.

[shubham-root]

@DominicMaas No, I believe since I could not get the install script to work those dll files were not generated. The only files in the mods folder are the protobuf, LiteNetLib, csm and install.ps1 script. These four files are those I downloaded and copied into the mods folder from the zip you linked in #10 .

[DominicMaas]

I updated the scripts a little while ago to take into account the new DLL, I've just updated the Continuious Integration (CI - see the readme file) to bundle this DLL into the zip folder. Easiest way to install the mod is now via the CI builds.

I'll also update the readme file with more information about hosting servers and connecting to them.
