File Menu
Play Game- This button/menu option brings you to a secondary screen where you enter your Player Name, Password, and pick the playing Zone you would like to fly in. Click the Enter Zone button to get into the game, Find Servers to modify your "Favorite" zone list, or Main Menu to return to the first screen.
[Note: If this is your first time connecting and you get an "Invalid Password" error message, then you have chosen a Player Name that already exists and you will have to choose another.]
Find Servers- This menu is the same as the button and will allow you to modify your "Favorite" zone list..
Set Proxy Server- This menu option allows many users to play by attaching to only one machine connected to the Internet. (Only use this option if you are VERY familiar with proxy server setups).
Basic Proxy Information: The SubSpace team has provided a basic proxy server on the website called the Fun-o-Tron. It uses IP addresses to transfer information across a basic network. Here is how it works; The computer running the Fun-o-Tron should be connected to the Internet and to your local network. The network card needs to have an IP address "bound" to it. The actual IP address does not matter (I have seen 1.1.1.999 used). The other networked machines should have an IP address bound to their network cards as well (I suggest 1.1.1.###, where ### is any number from 1 to 998 {your proxy server is using 999 remember} just make sure any 2 computers are not using the same number). When the other machines load up Subspace, the should use the SET PROXY SERVER option to set the proxy server to 1.1.1.999 (as per the example).
Exit- This menu option exits the program.
