FS2NetD - SCP Multiplayer
FS2NetD is an online FS2 game tracker. It acts as a lobby for multiplayer games, and it tracks registered pilots and mission statistics. When PXO is slated to be back online in 2007, FS2NetD will go away.
Getting Started with FS2netD
Logging On
Multiplay over TCP/IP
FreeSpace 2 can also be played by connecting directly to a hosting game via their i.p. address.
Standalone Servers
A dedicated/standalone FreeSpace2 server can be run on the Windows platform. This is enabled with the -standalone option.
Some options for the standalone server can be specified in the multi.cfg file located in your FreeSpace2\data\ directory. For example, this simple multi.cfg file gives a default game name for a standalone server of "Nova Cafe":
+name Nova Cafe
