Keep in Mind: This is a ~20 year old game with some known exploits. We will try to fix these as we become aware of them.
However, there is a non-zero chance of some type of binary exploitation when playing online. Use a sandbox (Sandboxie?) for peace of mind.

Troubleshooting

• Can't Connect to Dedicated Server :
• Check net_ip and net_port, the server will increment the port if the preferred one isn't available but the client won't sweep upwards.
• DLL Error upon launch :
• You didn't copy over the necessary runtime DLL's

FAQ

• Can we use AI in this project?
• Yes you can, but you're still responsible for whatever you commit. In general, you should have the AI be assisting you, and not carrying you. We have started using AI to help de-bug, and it's been extremely helpful.
