Hey ,

I’m noticing that the multiplayer menu you made for the example map only connects through steam when the game is packaged for “shipping”, and the LAN buttons only seem to enable connections after I modify the settings in my DefaultEngine.ini to swap the subsystem to null rather than steam. So right now I’m using two DefaultEngine.ini files and I just swap in the appropriate one for packaging and testing with steam, and the other one I use with subsystem null for day to day MP testing without having to package.

The workflow I’ve got going is working for me for now, but thought I’d check if i’m missing something. Is there is a LAN mode within the steam subsystem that can be used to test MP stuff without packaging first? Or is there a way to keep the steam subsystem enabled, and use subsystem null for LAN testing without packaging?

Also, thanks a ton for implementing passenger mode in the Vehicle. Great stuff.

Its possible, I just didn’t account for it in the template, i’ll add the fix in later today. I generally use steam for testing because its actually faster to find the session so I didn’t specifically test with lan much, its a simple edit to the server browser though. Its one of the many subsystem notes I have piled up but don’t always read and remember to do.

You can use the SteamNetDriver for LAN matches. When you open the map make sure you append ?bIsLanMatch=1 to the URL.

		Should look like . 			

1. MapName?listen?bIsLanMatch=1

Also glad to hear you like the car, it was one of the first requests on the request trello. Its not up to the standards that I had hoped for (openable doors to drive entrance / exit, a trunk, ect) but without the correct models it will have to do. I need to get the logic for re-centering the player so that they can move to a seat or sit down after entering done though. Then I will probably end up rolling some of the code into the plugin itself instead of blueprint to clean it up some, vehicle support isn’t an unreasonable thing to have included and I already had to create an override class for the WheeledVehicle to get it working correctly anyway.
