noob problem

[se7lawy]

hi
im kinda new to belma, have been trying to make it work for the last 2 months.. so anyway it works now and i'm lost.. where do noobs go in this place? i need to know how chat works in belma.. how to creat a battle. etc..

thnx

Experiment with the F keys (F1, F2, ..., F12), you'll understand fast enough.

examples:
F4: download battle level
F5: show online players
F6: show battle standings
F9: chat
F11: download winning rec
F12: Reconnect

to start battle, use startbattle.exe in your belma folder.

first of all thnx for answering so fast
still it's not working.. i used F5, F9 and nothing.. i can see other ppl chating

[The_BoneLESS]

When you press F5, do you see a list of names? or is it blank? Because if you don't see a thing, you might have some router issues to fix.

[se7lawy]

when i press it nothing happens.. no list full or blank

[The_BoneLESS]

you can verify these things first:
- In belmaServerConf.exe, "play offline" is not checked.
- Your firewall is not blocking belma.exe

You can also take a look here: http://zworqy.com/elmawiki/index.php/Installing_Belma

will do that.. thnx

i guess the problem may be that someone changed default F1-F12 keys to something else..
if you can see others chatting, F9 should work too

It might be worth - in BelmaServerConf - fixing the default keys as mila suggested.

Also check you have F lock on

[FinMan]

Do you see the "Players online" text or do you even connect to the server? It should be informed in the top of the screen if you connected or had some kind of problem, mostly tcp connection error. And yes, f-lock, the worst invention ever also has to be on if mind using f-keys. ;o
