Lux Hosting Tips How to Host To host a game of Lux all you have to do is turn on the 'Allow Network Players' switch and start a game. If you have the 'Internet Public' box checked then Luxers everywhere will be able to see your game in the Join Game window. Port 6619 If you have a firewall then you must tell it to allow connections on port 6619. If you connect to the internet using a router then you must get the router to forward port 6619 to your computer. Lux will inform you if your port 6619 is not reachable. If needed, you can find instructions for how to configure your firewall and router online. Commands The chat-area can accept some commands. Type /help to get a full list of available commands. When someone joins and you want to start a new game including them in the game simply type /start. This will abort the current game and start a new one. There is no confirmation dialog, it happens immediately. Changing Options On The Fly It is possible to change the map you are playing (and other options) while keeping all the people who have joined. Without closing the game, go to the 'File -> New Game' menu to bring up Lux's initial window. Change any options that you wish in this window. You can change the map, the amount of players, etc. Then go back to the game you were playing (you can close the New Game window). When you type /start a game will begin using the new options that you put in place. More Help Online games of Lux are filled with experienced players. Ask your questions and they shall be answered.
