How to do it.
Now, before we start, any unrelated or pointless comments will be removed; here's an example of a comment that will be deleted: "ill have open ports HA-HA"

1: Click on Google.

2: Into the search bar, type "Unmanaged Hamachi" or "www.VPN.net" or "Hamachi download"
All of them should work, if one does not then try another.

3: The top result should be www.VPN.net.

4: Literally in the middle of the screen it says "Download now".

5: Wait for the downloading process.

6: Download finishes, open up LogMeIn Hamachi and make an account.

7: Now, you should be given a small rectangular box, this is your hamachi window, it should be turned off, so click the power button at the top left of the window, if it is already on, however, then do not press it, your on/offline status will be indicated by either a grey or a blue/yellow hamachi power button, grey is off, blue/yellow is on.

8: Click on Network.

9: On the tap opened by clicking "Network" click on "Create a new network...".

10: Type in the Network ID (This will be the name of your Network) and your Network Password, these will be the name and the password of your network Remember these!

11: Tell your client (Person joining your network) to click "Network"

12: Then "Join an existing network...".

13: Tell your client what the network ID and Password are, (these are what you just typed to create your network, but now they will have to type them to join your network.

14: They are now in your network, so now you need them to join your Roguelands server, so both open Roguelands and click play, select your character and go into multiplayer.

15: The host just has to click "Host".

16: Everyone else, though, must join you via your Internet Protocol (IP) which is shown in hamachi, for the host it will be at the top of the hamachi window to the right of the On/Off button, for everyone else it will be in the server after expanding the Network tab below the On/Off button, so make sure everybody knows the IP.

17: Those joining must click "Join" in the multiplayer section of Roguelands and enter the IP and Port (The Port is ALWAYS 7777 in Roguelands, NEVER type anything else in the port, just leave it at 7777)

18: Then the joiners must click "Add"

19: This will Add the server to your server list, (one could always delete these later if they run out of space, so don't worry about that.) now click on the server that has been added

20: Wait to be beamed in to the host's ship and have fun together!

This has been my guide on how to set up your Hamachi Network and a Roguelands server, and let your friends play with you!
Common errors and how to fix them, and some other things too.
We have now reached the regularly-updating, frequently-changing, super-cool, mega-awesome and apparently it has now become the very hyphenated section of the guide. This section contains reasons that you may not be able to join your friend (or have them not able to join you)

-I have seen people setting up hamachi correctly, but not the ingame multiplayer part properly, remember only click join once and then wait, if that does not work then go to the main menu and try again, and you do not need to set up a seperate server using a modified copy of the game executable, one person clicks host, the others must join their IP

-Without paying, you can only have five people per network, you are a person so this means four others. Personally, I have twelve Hamachi Networks for various people, and as long as you always host this never becomes an issue, however the host must be connected to everyone connected as far as I know.

-Five is the maximum number of players, this may be because of who I usually play with, but I have never seen over five, and whenver any-one tries to join me when there are already five people it simply does not work not varied by whom might be joining, or by whom might be hosting. I am as of yet still not sure why this is.

-Incredible difference in region: I have friends on Neptune and they cannot join me, their internet is not as advanced as you might think.
But seriously, if you live in England or France (or wherever you might live, this is simply my example from personal experience) and your friend lives in Australia then you're gonna have a bad time, I have seen server crashes where it is impossible to revive people, until everyone dies apart from me, and it becomes a large wipe as I end up having to forcekick everybody.

-Forcekicking is a handy technique where you can turn off your LogMeIn Hamachi Network to kick people at will, this can be done by left clicking on a network and then shortly after double clicking on the same network. This can be used to fix bugs to stop progression deletion at least for the host.

-There is a problem with Hamachi which will say something about a tunelling engine problem, to fix this:
1: Press START + R at the same time.
2: type services.msc in to the box and click on 'Run'.
3: Look for LogMeIn Hamachi tunneling engine in the list that shows after clicking Run.
4: Stop and then restart the service.

-This one is less about Hamachi, and more about multiplayer Roguelands in general. If one player leaves once everybody else is already in a portal, everybody must leave the portal and re enter it after the portal becomes empty, if this is not done then the other player still counts as a player, even if they rejoin this must be done I believe.

-Some people like to cheat mindlessly, I would not recommend playing with them as they are usually very annoying.
Additional facts!
Hamachi is usually said to be "less safe than evolve (or) any other application that can be used for multiplayer gaming.". The reason that this is said is because Hamachi can and even has been used to remotely control people's computers from a disclosed location, however this can only be done with the permission of both parties, e.g. a request being made and the "victim" being asked whether or not they allow it or deny it.

Hamachi is actually a lot simpler than any other application that can be used for multiplayer gaming, with this guide I was making it as many steps as I could, usually I might just say something like " www.vpn.net , download it, run it, click the on button in the window, Join network ########## ###### #(#(#etc)) (of course when breaking it down I was doing so without saying exactly where to click), breaking it down into simple, impossible to ♥♥♥♥ up instructions, and I managed to get twenty, I bet that I could easily get 50 out of evolve or any other application which I am challenged to.

k the end of the guide
I hope you enjoyed this guide.

I recommend downloading and installing Radmin VPN. It works 1000% better.
Sir Pigwig 26 Mar, 2020 @ 6:12pm 
when I click on the server button nothing happens
insane  [author] 15 Dec, 2019 @ 2:03pm 
both work
Core.bin 14 Dec, 2019 @ 5:54am 
I recommend using Radmin instead of Hamachi.

Thanks, for me works fine and i don't have any problem when i am a host ( if i am not a host i can't deal dmg to enemies and i think that's problem with connection between players... ). :popular:

I don't think it would be one of those. At this point I've kinda given up.
insane  [author] 15 Apr, 2018 @ 7:54pm 
Connection is not only based on distance, if one of you has bad internet, or a bandwidth issue at the time etc

He lives in Nelson Bay and Me in Newcastle its not a very long distance.
