I bought the plugin yesterday. Everything works fine on my side in terms of compatibility, etc. The problem occurred during online testing. So we opened the server on port 7070. We created an itch.io page and used another PC to download our game to test the connection. We are already on the same connection, but it is impossible to connect via the other computer. However, everything works on the PC hosting the server. 

All firewalls are disabled, and public connection authorization is enabled.

I'm out of ideas. I thought it would be plug and play, but now I have to learn CMD, and the plugin doesn't come with a tutorial or a readme file. :(

I’m really sorry that you’re experiencing issues with the plugin. It’s great to hear that everything worked fine on your side, that means the server itself is running correctly. It seems like a connection issue, most likely, external users are unable to see the server. It could be that a router is blocking the connection.

To host the client on Itch.io, you’ll need to set up SSL, which isn’t trivial, but I included a TXT tutorial explaining how to do it. Hosting a server is an advanced topic, and there are many different platforms you can use (Windows with IIS, Ubuntu Linux, etc.). However, I’ve provided an option for users who don’t want to deal with server configuration: I create and host the server myself for all Patrons in the Champion Tier.

Regarding tutorials, you should read each plugin’s description and check out the example project to see how the online game features are implemented. Creating an MMORPG is an extremely challenging task, and I’ve done my best to make it as easy as possible so developers can focus only on building their games. For those who don’t want to spend time configuring servers, I personally create and maintain them, you just need to cover the costs through the Champion Patreon subscription.

I truly hope you can achieve your goals with this MMORPG solution I’ve built. If you’re not satisfied, feel free to request a refund on Itch.io. However, I sincerely hope you enjoy and make the most out of this tool!
