Finally! The plugin that you have been waiting for has came! This plugin allows you to create and host a server, and you can build with multiple players!

Plugin: http://www.roblox.com/Multiplayer-Studio-item?id=142298787


Instructions
-------------------

1. Click the "MPStudio" plugin. You will have to open a place in order to see the plugin. You might have to click it twice for it to appear the first time. At this point you should see a list of settings.

2a. If you want others to build at your place, click "start server" (Otherwise, skip to 2b). This will create a server so others can start building. If you have Windows Firewall blocking Roblox Studio, just click "Allow access" and the rest should run normally.

2b. You can also click "connect to server" to join a game that someone has made. To do this, you must have typed in the IP address of the game that you want to join. From there, you should be able to join successfully.

3. If you want to leave the game, open the MPStudio plugin again and you should now notice some new buttons. The "disconnect" button, of course, allows you to disconnect from the game. There is also another button that allows you to toggle between two different modes: Studio Mode and Player Mode.

3a. Studio Mode is what you would normally see when you click the "Edit" button on your place saved on Roblox; just a free-roam camera that allows for building things easily.

3b. Player Mode allows you to play your own game, and it is the same as clicking the "Build" button on one of your places. (If you are hosting a server, go into Studio Mode, then go back to Player Mode again to get the character controls working properly.)

NOTE: Player Mode functionality is limited for those that are hosting a server. Use with caution.



FAQ
------

"How do I find my IP address?"

If you are using Windows, open Command Prompt and type "ipconfig". Your IP should be displayed where it says "IPv4 Address".


"Can I have a friend that is connected to a different router join my game?"

Yes, but you will need to port forward. Ask Google for instructions on how to port forward for your router.


"I keep getting an error saying that 'The IP you entered is either invalid or incorrect'!"

(see above)


"My character isn't moving!"

This usually is a problem when you are hosting a server. In order for this to work, you must go into Studio Mode, then back into Player Mode again and you should regain control again.


"Why is my character moving so fast?!"

This is another problem when you are hosting a server. A fix for this might come eventually.


"I keep getting an 'insufficient permissions' error when I try to insert an object!"

This is a bug. It will be fixed soon.


"This is cool! I'm going to tell everyone my IP so they can join my game."

DO NOT TELL OTHERS YOUR IP! Your game could be completely removed if someone manages to join your server. You should only tell friends that you trust your IP.



If you have any suggestions, questions, or concerns, please send me a PM or drop in a reply below, and I will try to get back to you.

"Which port do I use when i am portforwarding?"

>Use anything above 1000. Everything above 1000 is unused by normal programs ((i.e internet is port 80))

Here's a tip: You can use LogMeIn hamachi instead of PF'ing.

1) Install LogMeIn Hamachi

2) Start a new network

3) Invite your friends

4) Start an MP studio server

5) For your friends to connect, they need your Hamachi IP4 address. It is the address above your computers name. They need to enter this address int othe URL bar and then click connect.

6) ???

7) Profit

Make something more simpler. I can make public running servers on another game with the same process.

2) Start a new network

4) Have your friends install LogMeIn Hamachi as well

3) Have your friends join your Hamachi network

4) Start an MP studio server

5) For your friends to connect, they need your Hamachi IP4 address. It is the address above your computers name. They need to enter this address int othe URL bar and then click connect.

Revised again:

Here's a tip: You can use LogMeIn hamachi instead of PF'ing.

1) Install LogMeIn Hamachi (Google LogMeIn Hamachi, click the first link. You should have two options, unmanaged and managed. Tick the box at the bottom of the page and install the unmanaged version)

2) Start a new network

3) Invite your friends

4) Start an MP studio server

5) For your friends to connect, they need your Hamachi IP4 address. It is the address above your computers name. They need to enter this address into the URL bar and then click connect.

I have long waited for this. But I do not want to give my IP to anyone. Will you be looking for a way to change this, or is there a way for me to set up a temp ip?

@Crimsonal, @XanthicDragon, @RymasterE
You do not need to set the port. The port is automatically set to 53640.

@KeiranKiller
Open Terminal and type in "ifconfig". Your IP should be shown next to "inet".

@scacman1967
In order for me to do this I would need to host a website, and as of right now, I do not have one. I might create one eventually, but this won't come in a long time. (Sorry!) The best thing to do right now is to tell your friends your IP (in a PM).

That won't happen any time soon. lol

What about hamanchi will it work through them? I have heard of people using their services for multi studio.

Thanks for the reply and the program. Even if I don't use it I can still see great potential. Like helping a noob with learning studio.
