Hi, Im trying to fix my code for starting a multiplayer game. Loading a dedicated server shows up fine on the servers page, but when I load it normally, I can still get into the game, but other people on my LAN can't see it. Any help is much appreciated, here are the two functions for comparison. Thanks!

Code: 
function bool LoadMap(GUIComponent Sender)
{
	local string FullURL, FirstMap;

	FirstMap = MyMapList.List.Get();

	FullURL = FirstMap;

	log("Sending [open"@FullURL$"] to the console");
	Console(Controller.Master.Console).ConsoleCommand("start"@FullURL);
	Controller.CloseAll(false);
	return true;
}

function bool LoadMap_Ded(GUIComponent Sender)
{
	local string FullURL, FirstMap;

	FirstMap = MyMapList.List.Get();

	FullURL = FirstMap;


	log("Sending [open"@FullURL$"] to the console");
	Console(Controller.Master.Console).ConsoleCommand("relaunch"@FullURL@"-server -lanplay -mod=MyMod");
	Controller.CloseAll(false);
	return true;
}

maybe you could try the console command :

start 192.168.0.1?Name=JH1?SpectatorOnly=False

where 192.168.0.1 is server's IP

Well, in the end I'd just like to package it as a mod, so I can't really hardcode the IP address in

Might it have something to do with this code? It seems that the variables are set correctly, but is there somewhere I need to say that my game is using this uplink server?

Code: 
[IpDrv.MasterServerUplink]
DoUplink=True
UplinkToGamespy=True
SendStats=True
ServerBehindNAT=False
DoLANBroadcast=true

Another thought I had was attaching the -lanplay option to this line

Code: 
Console(Controller.Master.Console).ConsoleCommand("start"@FullURL);

However, it seems to work differently than relaunch, and doesn't take the lanplay parameter. Could this be my problem, the game not recognizing the new game as a lan game? Sorry to keep bugging everyone, but I can't find anything relating to my problem online, and it's holding me up quite a bit.

I figured it out - i added the "?Listen" to the end of the URL, and it worked. (for now anyway =p)
