| Due a official server proxy problems 90% of games played in LackeyCCG VTES Plugin are planned over Instant Menssages programs (MSN, SKYPE, AIM, YM) and played using "Start Hosting Game" feature.
|
|
| To host a game start LackeyCCG, click in "Main Menu", "Start Host a Game", choose the number of players, "Game Name" and "Host" button. Then look your machine IP on website: http://whatismyip.com, give this number to other players and that players can join in hosted game clicking in "Main Menu", "Join Network Game", put Host IP and "Connect". |
| If you search for players to play a game just contact our enthusiast Erick in MSN/Mail erick.grinaldi@hotmail.com, Skype nick name: Antedeluviano. |
| Windows version of LackeyCCG have only one native keyboard layout configuration for while (MAC version work fine), due that Chat/Log inputs doesn't works well using another keyboard types, for that reason my playgroup uses a VOIP program SKYPE to talk over the matches. I've really recommend use of that program. |
