==INFORMATION FOR HOSTFAGS==
You will need the following ports opened
27998-27999, using TCP/UDP
47623-47624, using TCP/UDP
2300-2400, using TCP/UDP
28800-28809, using TCP/UDP
GoyRanger Port: 16000 using TCP/UDP
If you are having issues with lag or connecting it is advised you also open the above ports even if you are not a hostfag.
Next up is how to setup a match. Do this before you start up GoyRanger.
>1
Serb name, can play around with this. Also if you want to add a MOTD edit it in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries MP 3.1 HD
>2
Important, make sure player count is set to 16 as it defaults to 6. You can configure this as well via Options.ini in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries MP 3.1 HD which is essential if you want to host a dedicated serb, but also allows you to skip a lot of this process.
>3
You can change radar type here. Advanced radar makes the game a lot more tactical and about positioning as terrain heavily influences what you can and cannot see. Though you can turn it to Standard if it makes things too complicated.
>4
There's a fuckton of gametypes for this game including Rugby, Objective based missions and even CTF. As a rule of thumb never run Destruction as it just makes the game an Assault Mech fest.
>5
Play about with settings here. Need I say more?
>6
Also remember to click this if you are hostfag otherwise the game won't launch. You can set it to autostart but that's only if you enable server cycle. Unless you intend to have a dedicated server going I would recommend leaving this off.

Once all this is done settings should be saved for when you start up GoyRanger.
