Newby Settings Question

Newbie Joined: Mar 06, 2004 Posts: 2 Location: UK

When joining a game do the settings such as cockpit on or off, or full real etc occur automatically or do you have to do them first yourself?

Also is it permissible/protocol to join in any game provided no password is required?

Thanks for any responses! ~S~

Hello,
Yes they are automatically set for you.
The host controls the game settings and when you click on the game you can view what settings he has made.

On your second question you can join any unpassworded dogfight server as long as you have the same version game. Also provided it has room for you as well.
Sometimes you see what appears to be an unfull server but due to people joining via direct ip you get rejected. HL software cant tell if ip players have joined... only those who launch through it.
With coop games you have to launch with the host but can join after launch by getting players information and pressing enter. As long as the host has not hit the fly button and there is room for you it will work.

Your welcome.

I must say for other games like team play rooms or games that are reserved for competitions you may not join unless invited.
They will soon let you know anyway Wink
