Can't join any games (but I can host no problem)

When I try to join a game from the battle list I get download failed no matter what. But thats not really the big problem, even tho I got the right map and mod it automatically tries to download for example the BA mod when I try to join a game. So is there a way to just try to join a game in stead of downloading mods/maps.
I tried to seach, but no go. Couldn't see anything like this in the FAQ either. So thanks in advance.

As a newbie i can tell you that local WikiFAQ is shitty (EDIT/i exaggerate a bit of course, too tied to understand things/EDIT). The most actual info you can get observing the SVN. Really.
Try to make script.txt file in the root Spring folder with the following contents:
Code: Select all
// A clients example using the new syntax
// If spring is started as client, it needs the following information to work properly
[GAME]
{
HostIP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
HostPort=xxx; // standard is 8452
SourcePort=0; // set this if you want a different source port (as client), 0 means OS-select
MyPlayerName=somename;
IsHost=x; // 0 - no server will be started in this instance, 1 - start a server
}
ref:

So, input HostIP directly & others prarms then run spring.exe.
I'm not sure about filename script.txt, may be you should use another name.
Also it would be perfect to find out a FULL & ACTUAL list with DESCRIPTIONS of command line switches a spring.exe accepts.
