Hey I was wondering if I can make a game so I can play with just my friends, or if I have to always just join a game.

Yes you can. Read through the soldat readme and FAQs in the server section of this forum for good help.

Yes. If you set Soldat to host register in Lobby server / ASE, and you press start game, people can connect to your computer because it appears in the Lobby server / All seeing eye, or you can give them your IP adress so they can connect directly.

Sorry, I am not that smart when it comes to computer. . .how can I tell what my IP adress is?

go to http://whatismyip.com

I think its when on top before u connect to the games it shows like 214.1241.41441 or something and thn u give thm tht and thy can connect tp ure game .

Hey, we played a couple games but now for some reason when any of us type in the ip adress and click join it just stays on "requesting server" so we cant play. So then we decided to just make a game with a name so we can just select it from the list but the game wont show up on the list.

Are you sure in the option tab you clicked register with lobby server?
