Because Test Server - according to the in-game output (someone connection to localhost, which all of you know is 127.0.0.1) I think it should (in theory) be possible to launch a LAN server.

That's quite interesting, becuase if that's possible you could use networking programs - such as Hamachi - to create a private server which would not be visible online on the roblox games page.

Not to mention that this would be a grand solution on building games with development teams. Think of the possibilities!

Anyone cares to research this?

Oh yes, hamachi allows this.
Me and digpoe connect to eachother.
It is actually quite buggy, so me and digpoe went 'fixing' it.

Sorry, is that a question or a regular sentence or just a 'well, yeah' sentence?

ROBLOX Studio can host servers and can also connect to servers.

It's pretty simple once you find the methods for it. Which I did and tested with Looah :)

In that case, explain the question better.
'Roblox Studio can be accessed by private servers?'
lets me think that private servers can start Roblox Studio.

I remember when some guys worked on RbxPri. It was external software, which probably used old roblox version, and it could host and join servers. It was quite stable, back when I was testing it.

When you join the servers that pRiblox hosts, yes the Studio is there.

But I'm working on a way to fix it.

It's a pity they made it so Instance.new() can't instance NetworkClient - it destroys references to the IDE which is basically what happens when you join a game.

Can you build on the private server with the studio it provides?

Do what?

Host a server?

Tools->Test->Start Server

Then connect with one of the methods in the NetworkClient page.

hint: The first 'word' in it is where the option to set First Person mode is.
