Done!
Now you've setup Warcraft 3. Next you need
+ to setup a virtual LAN
+
Setting up a Virtual Lan
In this section I'll show
+ a guide for setting up ZeroTier.
+
Before you continue
Only one person
+ needs to setup a network. Everyon else can join an existing
+ network through the network's creator (admin). And once
+ you've been authorized by the admin you can join/unjoin as you please.
+ The admin doesn't even need to be in the same game / online.
+
Admin | Network Setup
If you want to be the network admin you can
+ create a network by first creating an account with ZeroTier. You'll need
+ to supply a verifiable email but that is it. Here is a quick summary of how
+ to setup. A full guide can be found at
+ Zero Tiers own setup guide
+
+
+ Hover to Zoom
+
+
Your Network ID
Your network ID will be present on the network page.
+ The example netowrk here is: 17d709436c634b2b.
+ You will share this with the members.
+
Admin | Network Settings
You shouldn't have to do anything
+ custom, just authorize the users who join your network. This can be done by
+ either adding them directly, or checking the authorize box. You can add them
+ from the settings menu at the bottom:
+
+
+ Hover to Zoom
+
+
Member | Download
Note Admins must also join their own
+ network! Member's first must download the application: Zero Tier 1.
+
Member | ZeroTier UI
The ZeroTier UI is just a system-tray icon. Just
+ right click to perfom any of the actions listed below. (It's the icon
+ that shares the icon from the website!)
+
+
+ Hover to Zoom
+
+
+
+ Hover to Zoom
+
You can right click the tray-icon to open the menu. Here you will see
+ your Node Id. Example: Node ID: 2d213b67f2
+
Member | Add network
To join simply paste the network ID in the form.
+ You can get the ID from the Network Admin.
+
+
+ Hover to Zoom
+
+
Admin | Authorize the Member
The Admin will then need your
+ Node ID and will authorize you in their network settings.
+
+
+ Hover to Zoom
+
+
Member | Reboot
Now that you've connected and setup I recommend
+ rebooting here. You can also reboot upon installation too to be safe.
+
Member | Verify connectivity
You can open the menu and click
+ "Show Network" which will show you your connected networks. You
+ should see Status: OK. You can click the connect
+ checkbox here to connect/disconnect. Or click the network from the menu
+ directly.
+
+
+ Hover to Zoom
+
+
Admin | Verify everyone is
+ connected
You can verify the connected
+ nodes by looking at the network view under Members. You should see Last Seen
+ "ONLINE" and their Physical IP - this will mean they're
+ connected successfully. You can add names and descriptions to help manage who
+ is who in case someone loses connectivity.
+
Creating a LAN Game
At this point you should be able to create a LAN game. It will
+ ask you to install Bonjour services. Click yes. The game may hang for a bit
+ while this happens, that is normal. Authorize the network firewall popup if
+ it does.
+
Troubleshooting
The network Admin can troubleshoot any connectivity issues by
+ checking if the Member's are present in their network settings.
+
Status:
+ Request_Configuration
If you are stuck
+ in this status you can delete the network. Reboot. Then re-add the network
+ and have the admin re-authorize you if necessary. This may take a few minutes
+ before you're IP appears in the network settings for the admin.
