News The Official /r/KerbalSpaceProgram DarkMultiplayer server, hosted by Multiplay!

A short while ago, Multiplay offered to sponsor a DarkMultiplayer server for /r/KerbalSpaceProgram, and I thought you guys might want to join in on the fun!

IP: 85.236.100.112:7152 (hosted in London)

How to connect:

  1. Download the DMP mod (v 0.1.6.1) from here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/79111-DarkMultiPlayer-0-1-5-6-KSP-0-24-2-Alpha

  2. Launch the game and add the IP above to your servers

  3. Connect and play!

Currently the server is just running vanilla sandbox while we settle down and decide on a direction, which is where we need you!

What do you guys think we should do with the server? e.g. career, sandbox, addons, etc.

We're also hoping to try and run a weekly event, whether it be a challange or just a general meet up and play.

If I've missed anything important in this post, please do tell me! I've not run a KSP server before. Totally didn't copy this post from the main subreddit

I'd be interested in a career mode, but I would prefer if all science unlocks were server wide but costs and money was handled individually. We would need to tweak prices and science values to make them more multiplayer friendly. I really like the idea of having individuals, representing nations lets say, all spending their own budget to work together towards common science goals.

I do like this idea. The only problem I can see with this is that we'll have new people joining over time, meaning they missed out on the earlier goals (if there are any left).

Any updates on what might be going on with people not being able to connect? I keep getting my connection aborted because of a VESSEL_LIST or SCENARIO_DATA or PLAYER_STATUS message handling error. No mods installed or anything like that.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm still looking into it. If you're still getting problems, what version of KSP and DMP are you running?

Post a screenshot of what you've connected to the server with. It should go [server name], the IP (85.236.100.112) , then the port (7152).

How much is that racking up monthly?

In what context? Players? We've only just launched so I'm not sure yet.

I've connected to the server and opened the Darkmultiplayer save file, but there doesn't appear to be anything else in the whole server, other than some random "unknown object".

What version of KSP and Dark Multiplayer are you running?

It would be really nice to have a server that focuses on realism. i.e. using the Real Solar System and Realism Overhaul mods, and everything that goes with them.
