How To Play

• Download the newest release
• Get into a network (VPN or LAN) with other players (recommended free VPN: ZeroTier)
• Make sure to allow any firewall exceptions that may pop up in the process
• One player will act as host, make sure to put his network IP in the Host IP text field after starting the game (default value can be set in Config)
• You can use localhost as Host IP (127.0.0.1) if you just want to test alone
• Put your custom username into the regular E-mail text field
• Host needs to click Host Match, after that the other players click Join Match
• After connecting, click Play to proceed to the main menu and create a room (others may need to refresh the room list in order to join)
• Make sure everyone has the files for the current map loaded
• Room master can start the match once every player is ready (you can also start alone)

Inventory Editor

• Click on items in the left list to add them to the inventory
• Click on items in the inventory to remove them
• Hold CTRL while clicking in the inventory to equip items
• Click Update Inventory to apply changes to your ingame inventory
• Click Save Inventory to update and save the current inventory to Inventory.csv

Host Menu

• Shutdown: Kills the current session and sends everyone back to the main menu, can help when network is laggy
• End Match: Ends the match instantly
• Clear Buffers: Clears the server's write and read queues, use if the server gets stuck
• Debug Handle: Log incoming traffic
• Debug Send: Log outgoing traffic
• Debug Ping: Log frequent traffic
• Clients: All connected clients, click on a client that isn't host to disconnect them

Paths

• Maps are located in Brick BrickForce_Data\Resources\Cache
• Assembly-CSharp.dll is located in BrickForce_Data\Managed

Controls

• F4: Host Menu
• F5: Inventory Editor
• F6: Setup Menu
• F8: Debug Console

Limitations

• Only TDM fully implemented currently, other modes should load but might not fully work
• Future support for Build Mode is planned
• Only one room per host to simplify server
• Item stats are mostly backup values loaded from disk and are different from Infernum servers
• Most rare weapons and max up variants have empty stats and are therefore useless in game
• Game languages need to be english, otherwise you will get stuck in the loading screen
• Can be changed under registry path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\EXE Games\BrickForce (set BfVoice & BfLanguage to 1 for english)

Notes

• This is a non-commercial fan project and not associated with any of the companies originally involved in the development and publishing of the game
• Code in _Emulator folder is newly added to the game
• Other code is mostly reverse engineered (decompiled) from the original game and refined so it compiles as a VS project
• Therefore commercial use of this project is not recommended
