Overview
This is an improved guide on how to play multiplayer rake. (Gives more details than previous guides) Note: There are no servers open so you’ll have to create your own. (You just use Hamachi which is free)I will try to answer any questions or queries in the comments.
Setting Up A Network
To set up a server, you need to install Hamachi > [link] , once you are on the website press the download button. (pretty obvious)
From there you need to set up Hamachi by selecting the language you want and the installation destination. (Where you want it to be installed)
Once it’s installed you’ll need to create an account, you should be able to do it from there by clicking create an account and typing in the details you want, but if you can’t you can do it here > [link] Once you have created an account it might ask you to login, if it does then just login with your account details on the Hamachi application.
After you’ve created an account and logged in you’ll need to create a network using Hamachi. When you log in there will be two buttons, one will say join an existing network and the other says create a new network. (If it’s an account you’ve already got networks on, you can use those networks) Click on the create a new network and type in the network id (what you want the network to be called), the password (what you want the password to be) and then press create.
When you’ve created a network (you can make more for different things if you want), the person/ people you want to play with need to download Hamachi, create an account, and login. Once they’ve done that, instead of pressing create a new network they need to press the option that says join an existing network. When they press that, they will need to put in the network id, (The network id for the network you made) and then put in the password. (The password for the network you made). They then need to press join and once everyone all joined your network you can continue to the next step.
Creating and Joining a Server
Once you’ve completed the first step you will need to set up the actual server and get the person/ people you are going to play with to join. First you will need to launch the rake multiplayer.
To start the server you need to press the Start Server button and once you’ve done that you can name the server whatever you want.
When you have named the server you need to click on the start server button and the server will be started. Do not click on anything else!
For your friends to join they will need to click on the Connect button, for the section that says server ip you type in the “network ip” for the network you created.
Remeber, do not get this confused with the “network id”. To find your “network ip”, right click on the chain of numbers that might look like this > 23.16.128.241 . Once you have right clicked on it two options will appear, one the says Copy IPv4, and one that says Copy IPv6. Click on the one that says Copy IPv4 and then paste/send the ip to your friend using some form of communication. (e.g. Steam chat, Discord, Skype, etc.) Once they have the network ip they need to paste or type it into the network ip bar.
Next is the port, the port will always be 2500 and once they type that in they need to press connect.
When everyone has connected to you (or whoever hosted the server), you (or the host) needs to press the start game button. Once you or they have done that the game will start and you can hunt the rake!
Note: When people join the player list won’t always update.
In-Game
When you start the game it will automatically be night and will be like that forever. (That just happens in multiplayer) There also will be no bait (for pigs) or map. There are also a crap-tone of bugs so be prepared. (Some help you win, others just piss you off)
FUN THINGS TO DO
– Kill eachother
– Make the Rake spazz out
– Find the bear traps and place tones of them, when you have done that keep killing yourself by stepping on them making a huge pile of dead bodies. If you need more bear traps just pick one up and you get 11. (Don’t know why…)
