How to connect
Starting the Remote Dispatch server.
- Install the mod with Unity Mod Manager.
- Start Derail Valley.
- Open the Unity Mod Manager interface (Ctrl-F10 by default, if you do not have it configured to appear at startup).
- Find the entry in the list for the Remote Dispatch mod.
- Click the options button.
- Adjust the network port is necessary (7245 by default).
- Set a server password, or leave it blank.
- Start a new session, or load an existing session. Wait for the game to load. The server will start automatically as the game loads.
Connecting with your desktop computer
- Open a modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, etc.) on your computer, and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:7245. (Adjust the port number here if you changed it in step 4.)
- Enter a username to identify yourself and the server password if you set one.
Connecting with your mobile device
- Determine your desktop's local IP address. On Windows 10, this can be found in Settings->Network & Internet->Properties (button next to your network adapter)->scroll down to Properties->IPv4 address. Alternatively, open a command prompt and run ipconfig, then look for the IPv4 Address entry.
- Ensure your device (tablet/phone) is connected to the same Wifi network as your desktop.
- Open the device web browser and navigate to http://192.168.0.64:7245, adjusting the address to what you found in the prior step, and the port if you changed it when setting up the server.
- Enter a username to identify yourself and the server password if you set one.
Playing with a friend
- Set up port forwarding for your router. You can find guides for your router make and model at https://portforward.com. You want to forward the TCP port you set up above (7245 by default) to your desktop computer.
- Determine your external network address. (https://ip.me/)
- Tell your friend to point their web browser (desktop or mobile) to http://1.1.1.1:7245, using the correct IP address that you discovered in the prior step, and have them enter a username to identify them, and the server password if you set one.
