How To Play Commandos BTCOD in multiplayer via LAN or Internet

This simple guide will allow up to 6 players to join a game in multiplayer (for more info refer to the extended guide).
All you have to do to start a multiplayer game is this:
 
1a) (for LAN) Host starts mpserver.exe (found in your Commandos BTCOD folder) (Screen1) and gives his IP Address to the other players (Clients). Then he starts the game himself and connects to his own IP address (Screen2).

1b) (for Internet) Host starts mpserver.exe (found in your Commandos BTCOD folder) (Screen1) and gives his IP Address, which is NOT the one that you see in the screen (to find out your Internet IP address a simple way would be to look here), to the other players (Clients). Then he starts the game himself and connects to his own Internet IP address (Screen2).

2) The other players (from main menu) choose NEW GAME (Screen3) then MULTIPLAYER GAME (Screen4) and write in their name and the IP address of the host (Screen5).

3) The First to connect will be called MASTER and will be the only one capable of choosing the missions and quicksaving or quickloading. when all players have connected, when a mission has been selected and all Commandos chosen, you will be able to start the game by pressing CONTINUE.

NOTE (LAN ONLY)
If you have problems with the IP addresses try to manually set the Computers addresses through your network configuration (Screen1):
The host should be 111.11.11.111, the next person to join is 111.11.11.112; the next is 111.11.11.113 - and so on.
For this to work correctly, each player must have their own copy of the game in their system and all players must have the same version number.
Remember, this is only for LAN problems.
