Your probably asking yourself, "So, All this is well and good. But I thought this program allowed me to play my games online." To get online click the Game Server menu. Next click Browse Servers. After a few seconds the Game Server dialog will appear.
On the left you will se the server area. Below it you will see buttons to exit OpenRPG or just close the dialog. The right side has the room list for the server you are connected to. And below that is an area where you can put information to create your own room.
By clicking one of the servers on the list to the left you will see the address bar above it populate with that servers internet address and the port that it is listening on for a connection.
If for any reason the server list is empty you can manualy put a servers IP address and port number in the address box.
Now that you have an address (either manualy entered or by clicking on a server) in the address section of the dialog clicking the connect button will connect you to a server. You can also just double click on a server name and it will connect you to that server without having to click on the connect button. This feature is useful to quicly jump from one server to another.
The other buttons in the dialog Refresh and Disconnect are used to refresh the server list (It doesn't automaticaly refresh when new servers show up or old servers leave so you need this button) and to disconnect from the server you are currently on respectivly.
Each server has its own list of rooms. You have to hop from server to server to see which rooms are on each server
