Remote Dispatch

Note

Derail Valley only supports IPv4 connections. If your ISP gives you only an IPv6 internet address, you can use the IPv6->IPv4 reverse proxy tool written by GamingCoookie found here.

How to connect

Starting the Remote Dispatch server.

• []Install the mod with Unity Mod Manager.

  []Start Derail Valley.

  []Open the Unity Mod Manager interface (Ctrl-F10 by default, if you do not have it configured to appear at startup).

  []Find the entry in the list for the Remote Dispatch mod.

  []Click the options button.

  []Adjust the network port is necessary (7245 by default).

  []Set a server password, or leave it blank.

  []Start a new session, or load an existing session. Wait for the game to load. The server will start automatically as the game loads.

  Connecting with your desktop computer

  • []Open a modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, etc.) on your computer, and navigate to http://127. 0. 0. 1:7245. (Adjust the port number here if you changed it in step 4.)

    []Enter a username to identify yourself and the server password if you set one.

    Connecting with your mobile device

    • []Determine your desktop's local IP address. On Windows 10, this can be found in Settings->Network & Internet->Properties (button next to your network adapter)->scroll down to Properties->IPv4 address. Alternatively, open a command prompt and run ipconfig, then look for the IPv4 Address entry.

      []Ensure your device (tablet/phone) is connected to the same Wifi network as your desktop.

      []Open the device web browser and navigate to http://192. 168. 0. 64:7245, adjusting the address to what you found in the prior step, and the port if you changed it when setting up the server.

      []Enter a username to identify yourself and the server password if you set one.

      Playing with a friend

      • []Set up port forwarding for your router. You can find guides for your router make and model at https://portforward.com. You want to forward the TCP port you set up above (7245 by default) to your desktop computer.

        []Determine your external network address. (https://ip.me/)

      • Tell your friend to point their web browser (desktop or mobile) to http://1. 1. 1. 1:7245, using the correct IP address that you discovered in the prior step, and have them enter a username to identify them, and the server password if you set one.

        Granting permissions

        By default, you can use the web browser to examine the map, cars, and jobs, but cannot affect anything. To change junctions or drive a locomotive using the web browser, you must go
