Game server setup
Step 1: Install Radmin VPN and create a network
Download and install Radmin VPN. In the main Radmin VPN window, click "Create Network".
Enter the network name, password and click "Create".
Step 2: Ask your friends to join the network
Send your friends the name of the Radmin VPN network and the password to join to this network.
Step 3: Run MX Bikes Step 4: Add the game to the firewall exceptions You need to add rules to the firewall. Open Radmin VPN -> System -> Firewall Exceptions and add "mxbikes.exe" to the exceptions.
Step 5: Dedicated server configuration Go to the game folder. Create a text file and copy there:
[connection]
name = test
maxclient = 10
password =

save_directory = ; the directory where data is saved. The default is "resume"
[live]
enable = ; 1 or 2 to enable live timing. If set to 1, data is sent through UDP packets ( more info: http://forum.mx-bikes.com/index.php?topic=233.0 ). If set to 2, data is written to a local file

[polls]
disable_during_races = ; 0 or 1. It set to 1, polls are disabled during races
[log]
file = ; the name of the file to write the dedicated server output to
Save as server.ini file.
Check and fill in the parameters in server.ini file if they are empty: name = test (name of the game server), maxclient = 10 (maximum number of gamers) and location = 26.12.125.71 (insert here your IP address from Radmin VPN).
Step 6: Start dedicated server Create a text file and type there: "mxbikes.exe -dedicated 54210 -set params server.ini". Save as "start.bat".
Run "start.bat" file.
Game client setup
Step 1: Install Radmin VPN and connect to the network Download and install Radmin VPN. In the main Radmin VPN window, click "Join Network". Enter the Network Name and Password and click "Join".
Make sure you and your friends are on the same network.
Step 2: Run MX Bikes
Step 3: Add Rules to the Firewall
You need to add rules to the firewall. Open Radmin VPN -> System -> Firewall Exceptions and add "mxbikes.exe" to the exceptions.
Step 4: Connect to game server
Go to the game folder. Create a text file and type there: "mxbikes.exe -directconnect 26.12.125.71:54210". Save as connect.bat. Run "connect.bat" file.
