Re: [Help-liquidwar6] Help making a second player locally -- did the first one get thru?

[Christian Mauduit]

Hi,

You don't need to patch the code. The game does handle 2 local players
right now (up to 4 including bots). Go to the players menu, click on one
of the "Free slot" buttons. Click on one of "Not playing" button until it
shows something like "player3@<hostname>". You might also need to change
the input (keyboard, mouse...).

I acknowledge this "players" menu lacks "user friendliness" :(

Have a nice day,

Christian.

PS: "Quick start" will always play red on green with green being a bot. To
play other configurations, you need to start a game locally ("Play" ->
"Local game").
