|
How can I write
a program like LF2 ?
|
This is a hard
question. Someone feel it is easy and some feel it is difficult.
But here is some of my general suggestions:
1) Learn good programming skill (Thanks CUHK CS program).
2) Learn how to use graphic libraries (DirectX, OpenGL)
3) Learn maths and physics. You need them do develop action
games.
4) Find a group of friends. You cannot develop a good game without
partners.

How can I create
a own character in LF2 ?
|
I know there
is some editing programs for LF2, which is not develop by me
and Marti. However, I forget those programs name. If anyone
know it, please send me a email and let met know. I will put
that program in here if it is really useful.
|
Why LF2 is free
?
|
It is because
we want any people can play this game, even the one who have
problems for money. We have some chance to sell the copyright
of LF2 to some company, but we finally reject them.
|
| Why I see strange
color blocks around the characters when playing? |
You need to set
your desktop to 32bit colours before playing.(if your version
is older than v1.9c, you need to set 16bit colours instead) |
| Which TCP/UDP
Port do LF2 work for networking ? |
TCP Port 12345 |
I tried to play
with my friends in "network games" but whenever i
try to
connect with them it says "unable to connect to server".
Please tell
me the solution to this problem. |
The server (the
one who click "waiting") should probably behind a
firewall which block the network connection of LF2. Please read
next
question for the solution. |
| I am behind firewall,
can I use the network feature to play with my friends? |
This depends.
In order to play with your friends in the Internet, the server
side (the one who click "waiting") need to have a
public IP address. Those IP like 192.168.X.X or 10.X.X.X are
private IP address, which CANNOT be used as a server.
If you are behind a firewall in home, try
to enable the NAT feature of the firewall to allow TCP 12345.
The following are some example of firewall
1) Wireless router
2) DSL/Cable router
3) Software firewall like Microsoft, Norton, and Zone Alarm.
Once you enable NAT and allow TCP 12345 traffic,
remember to give your public IP address, but NOT the private
one, to your friends. |
