The client/server version is the main one to have changed. The ladder now includes the game history in the ladder, a form table, and you can change your slime colour. Plus the odd bug fix
This version is suitable for offices, schools or campuses where you have a central machine to manage the games. Start the 'server' on the central machine and leave it running. Start a 'client' on your local PC and login to the server. The Client/Server system also has a 'ladder' to keep track of the best player on the server.

| IT STILL WONT START!!! | Try switching browsers. Install FireFox from here |
| It said there was a 'Security Warning', am I taking a risk | No, it is just telling you that I've 'signed' the code. This means you can find who I am if it blows up (which it won't). You just click 'Start' |
| What is an IP Address? | It's four numbers linked by a dot (e.g. 123.342.434.2) that uniquely identifies your machine on the internet. It allows one networkslime player to connect to another |
| How do I get the IP address of my machine? | On windows, start a command prompt (start/programs/accessories/command prompt). Type 'ipconfig' and hit enter. |
| What on the three moons of Jupiter is a 'port'? | Its just a number use to identify a running program on the network. By default networkslime always uses 2000. But if you've already got a program running on 2000 (or you want to run two networkslimes on the same PC, the you might need to change it. You can set the port used by the server easily in the console window. Otherwise, the only way to change it is to download the zip and change the batch files. |
| Can you play soccer slime or slime boxing online? | Not to my knowledge |
| How do you turn of a firewall? My friend puts in my IP adress while i host it... then he gets this thing that says he has a firewall or whatever... how do u turn it off? | The firewall prevents hackers from connecting to your PC and doing bad things. You can either shut it down, or you can configure it to allow the network slime traffic through. I have a firewall called Zone-Alarm. ZoneAlarm has icon in the system tray. You right mouse click on it and select exit to switch it off. Configuring it is harder; you have to create a rule which allows 'UDP traffic on port 2000'. If this means nothing to you then you are going to have to ask someone to help. Without access to your PC, I can't really help any more. |
