So I have figured out how to get my server running, and have reviewed the Wiki a few times...but I am having a problem with a few things. One: Using any port other than 11753, even with correct router and OS port forwarding, does not let the game advertise the server. Two: I am unsure how to set any special commands such as setting rank of players on entry to User or anything like that. Three: I can host the server successfully, and I can join it from another computer, but only if that other computer is on a different internet connection.

The unusual cooperation of the game on Windows 2000 could be due to the fact that I have an unofficial SP5 and Update Rollup installed, but as for XP I am not sure. Also, I do apologize for the confusion...I have a mild form of autism that still plagues my explanations occasionally. What part is confusing you, just so I know? In short, I'm saying that the game will run from a flash drive on any Windows machine down to Vista through the demo method of installation. (I am only using the demo as my brother took my game disk when he moved out.) I also want to thank you for mentioning the directory thing...I'll give it a shot.

The game can be installed on a flash drive in the same way you would install the game if you used the TTP Demo method. The only difference is that with each computer you run the game on, it creates a small registry set critical to the game's operation before it starts. Literally all I did was run the OpenRTC2 installer, point it to a new folder on my flash drive and install, then extract the OpenRTC2 ZIP file to the flash drive's installation directory and run it. This means that RTC 2 can be taken on the go, and the data is also saved locally to the flash drive the way the game is programmed by default. The problem with doing this is that Windows 2000 and XP handle this game differently than Vista and later, and so the game will actually encounter an error and crash if you click the multiplayer button. My portable version seems to be the only version affected, but seeing as XP is stubborn with portable games, this was not a surprise.

Hello there! This function I have discovered is actually an exploitation of one installation method that allows you to take the game with you on a flash drive or storage drive formatted as FAT32 or NTFS (the only two I have tested so far). This involves the method of running the OpenRCT2 installer to install into the flash drive, then running the self extractor or extracting the zip file to the installation directory all like normal. Once that's done, you may now take the drive with you and run it on almost any other Windows computer. There is only one problem with this exploitation, however: The multiplayer on XP and older. If you install OpenRCT2 to a machine with XP or older, it will still run multiplayer, but this portable version will cause a crash upon clicking on the multiplayer button at the main menu if the operating system is older than Windows Vista. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy being able to bring OpenRCT2 to school and other places with you, should you so desire.
