Operating “The Raft” with a CDN only license:
- You need a dedicated game server with a Standalone Server Module activated for it
- Under “VR Stations”, edit the game server record and assign “The Raft” under “Dedicated Server Games”
- On the same settings, edit the VR stations and assign “avatarid” -> 1 ; 2 ; 3 or 4 under “Own Station Parameters”
- On the game server pc, call the following URL to set the number of players:
- http://localhost:8080/control/setKeyVal/serverPlayers_4890/2
- On the VR stations, call the following two URLs in the given order:
- http://localhost:8080/control/StopCurrentGame
- http://localhost:8080/control/startNetworkGame/4890
- The game will be automatically launched on the server PC and the stations will automatically join the server. The game will automatically start within ~30 seconds.
- If the players calibration is off, use the following URL on the game server to force recalibration:
- http://localhost:8080/control/jsonrpc/4890/calibrate
All the URLs can be open from your main operator PC. Just replace “localhost” with the actual LAN IP address.
Operating “Blasters of the Universe: Infinity Forever” (BOTU) and “Paranormal Pest Patrol” (PPP) with a CDN only license:
Both games consist of 2 configuration files and both files have to be initially set prior playing the games. Both games requires the Standalone Game Server (SERVER) module for one of the network PCs.
config.json:
- BOTU file location: game installation folder -> BlastersFreeRoam_Data\StreamingAssets\config.json
- PPP file location: game installation folder -> PPP_Data\StreamingAssets\config.json
On the SERVER pc, set the following file values:
- “useOnlyLocalMachine”: true,
- “server”: “127.0.0.1”,
- “playerName”: “SERVER”,
- “isSpectatorEnabled”: true,
- “playerIdentifier”: 0
On the actual VR station:
- “useOnlyLocalMachine”: false,
- “server”: “<THE_LAN_IP_ADDRESS_OF_SERVER>”,
- “playerName”: “Player 1”,
- “isSpectatorEnabled”: false,
- “playerIdentifier”: 1
The playerName and playerIdentifier must be unique for each of the VR stations.
gameConfig.json:
BOTU:
- File location: game installation folder -> BlastersFreeRoam_Data\StreamingAssets\gameConfig.json
On the SERVER pc, set the following file values:
- “experienceTimeSeconds”: 900, (time in seconds ; accept values in the 300 – 900 range)
- “storyType”: “Long”, (accepted values: Short or Long)
- “respawnLength”: 5,
- “isRightHanded”: true,
- “experienceSize”: “5×5” (accepted values in meters: 5×5 or 7×7 or 10×10)
PPP:
- File location: game installation folder -> PPP_Data\StreamingAssets\gameConfig.json
On the SERVER pc, set the following file values:
- “experienceTimeSeconds”: 900, (time in seconds ; accept values in the 300 – 900 range)
- “experienceId”: “PPP_LONG”, (accepted values: PPP_SHORT or PPP_LONG)
- “experienceSize”: “5×5” (accepted values in meters: 5×5 or 7×7 or 10×10)
For both BOTU and PPP, the game must be launched first on the server and launched on the stations within the next 30 seconds.
For a simpler operator experience, we recommend both games to be used with the SynthesisVR Standard or Pro plans.
Operating “RevolVR” with a CDN only license:
- In a multiplayer session, one of the stations acts as both a server and client and all the other stations are just clients. To start the server’s game instance, use the following command line:
- RevolVR.exe -vr -culture=en -multiplayer_port=7777 -role=server -multiplayer=true -player_id=1 -player_name=John -number_of_players=5 -round_time=3
- RevolVR.exe -vr -culture=en -multiplayer_port=7777 -role=server -multiplayer=true -player_id=1 -player_name=John -number_of_players=5 -round_time=3
- To star the clients (asuming the SERVER IP address is 192.168.1.100):
- RevolVR.exe -vr -culture=en -multiplayer_port=7777 -role=client -multiplayer=true -player_id=2 -player_name=Joe -number_of_players=5 -server_ip=192.168.1.100
- RevolVR.exe -vr -culture=en -multiplayer_port=7777 -role=client -multiplayer=true -player_id=2 -player_name=Joe -number_of_players=5 -server_ip=192.168.1.100
- All the client instances must be started at least 5 seconds after the server instance. Otherwise, they wont be placed in the same multiplayer game.
Operating “Propagation: Top Squad” with a CDN only license:
- The game ships with a local server that has to be started before starting the game and closed after the end of the play session. The server is lightwide and doesn’t require a separate PC. The computer runinng the server also can be used as a VR station.
- Starting the server:
- ::INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY::\Propagation_Zero\Binaries\Win64\Propagation_ZeroServer.exe EntryMap?listen -log -NotInstalled GameID=session_identifier LauncherURL=http://127.0.0.1:8080/control/wanadev/5729 ServerPort=7770 Timer=20 NbPlayers=2 LOG=session\Server.log -nohmd
