-To set a mod for a room or rules, do i have to apply the mod and/or the rules before making the room, and then make it?
-How can I set all game rules and mods to vailla or default?
-What is really Matchmaking for?
Thank you, i was asking these things to myself and im confused about theme, cause i can't see any option to set for example the numer total players for a room etc.
I red the tutorial too, but i keep having some doubts.
With the addition of matchmaking there are 3 different ways to create a room. The first and most commonly used one is /join roomname - if a room with that name already exists, you will join that room. If it does not, you will create a new one with default settings, and you will be the operator of it.
The second way more commonly used by newer players is by hitting the create button. This is slower and really just accomplishes the same thing. However, it ensures that you do not accidentally use the name of a room already in existence.
The final way is matchmaking; matchmaking pairs you with a player looking to play the same mod, and lets you choose what qi your opponent has to be to play against you. Don't bother with it, it almost never has enough players in the system to find one with the right specifications to play against you.
The rules in your server can be set using the game rules menu, accessed by ctrl+G. There are many other commands not shown, but you probably won't need them and can use solax's link as a reference. Setting these rules is done after you create the server, not before.
To set everything back to free play default, try /set mod classic. It is the only mod name that does not end in .tbm, because it is hard-coded into the game and classic is the shorthand for it.
To set the max number of players allowed on your server, use /maxclients #, e.g. /maxclients 4.
