don't know how to get started, plz help!
« on: October 30, 2013, 10:18:32 PM »
I am a totally beginner in scripts, and have never built up a server before. After purchasing TNet, I totally have no idea how to get started.
I have made a first-person shooting game in Unity3D, now what I want to do is to add spawns for players and let them shoot one another.(a typically "free for all" rules in FPS game)
I have found a lot of scripts in TNet package, should I choose some of them and give them to game objects in Unity3D?
After starting the TNetserver.exe , how can other players connect to my PC and start my game?
Could anyone help me out please!

Check out series one on the GTGD (<- Link) website.  He uses the default unity networking but once you have the basics down (this includes programming in general) converting from the Unity networking to TNet is easy.

If you have a hard time with the GTGD series I recommend doing some basic programming tutorial (either c# or JavaScript) then try the GTGD series again.  Jumping straight into networking is not fun or for a beginner imo.

Also make sure to watch the basic videos Michael did for tnet. he walks through setting up a simple multiplayer and connecting to it from a different game instance.

Yeah the "making a game from scratch" video is a great starting point. It explains everything.
