TTopForums
Your support source for TTopRPG 2.0
(These forums are my beginning attempts at PHP/MySQL/CSS. They will improve bit by bit)
I started coding these forums on 5/20/2009 with almost no prior experience with PHP or MySQL.
Javascript routines work with IE 8, Mozilla Firefox 3.0.10, and Opera, so far
Pardon the color scheme, I continue to tinker with it

Before doing this, is there any issues that I would have to deal with to make this a working situation? (Other than bringing my router, wires for those without Wireless). As a GM this might be an interesting thing to do, and might have a higher chance of successfully getting enough players who all have the program. As a GM, I wouldn't have to draw out a map, or run a voice software, since we are all at the same table (Sorry everyone if this is an obvious question, but I hadn't tried it yet). Thanks Robyn |

Otherwise they can connect the same way as on the internet. Bear in mind I've only tested on my own network which just has a router, a workstation and a laptop. I don't know what other tricky situations can arise on a LAN, so I recommend testing with your own network first. Also, make sure everyone has .NET 3.5, the C++ redistributable, the same version of TTopRPG, and that they can run it successfully on their machines before attempting this. |
