On windows:

Make sure your firewall grant outgoing connections on port 50001.

Change « c:\python25\python » into the path of your python installation.

Save and Close file

Click on Server.bat icon.

If you want to set the port number onto which your serveur will accept connection and or configure the number max of user connectd,

Open a shell command and start server by performing the command

C:\bzoo>Server.bat <port_number> <nb_max_client>

On linux:

Open a shell and change dir to you're bzoo installation directory.

then launch server.sh script.

% Server.sh <port_number> <nb_max_client>

What do I need to run Bzoo?

How do I custom an automatic login?

If you want to automate your login session so that you don't have to enter login and password each time you start a bzoo client.

Open File <BzooDir>/BzooClient.blend.

In a text editor, edit file bzInit.py to change lines:

Change lines:

GameLogic.bzPseudo = 'Guest'

GameLogic.bzPassword = ''

GameLogic.bzServerName = 'perin.biz'

GameLogic.bzPortNumber = 50001

into:

GameLogic.bzPseudo = 'your_pseudo'

GameLogic.bzPassword = 'your_password'

GameLogic.bzServerName = 'adress_of_your_server'

GameLogic.bzPortNumber = port_number

Nota: If your pseudo is already used on the server, connection will failed. If it happens, choose an other pseudo and replace it.
