Changing Ports

[sghetti]

Last year we had been playing Paintball at our school, and i can tell you, that you have done an awesome job, our whole school was hooked on it, even people that hate games, we almost crashed our school server, with over 100 computer running several servers on our central server.

This year they have disabled USB drives, but we have managed to get it back, but most of the computers aren't able to host it at the moment. Is there any way to change the ports Paintball 2 runs on?

Only a select few computers were able to host it last year, but none at all can this year. I'm hoping it just that they've blocked the port it runs the server on.

You can set the port simply by typing "set port ####" at the console, or starting the game with "+set port #####".  The default port is 27910.  If you aren't using the default port, it won't automatically show up in the server browser on the network.  You will have to manually connect to the server with, "connect <server>:<port>", ie: "connect 192.168.0.101:12345" or whatever the server and port are.

port  80 is for http access. im pretty sure you need a 5 number port anyways
