[Skott Bandicoot]

Hello everyone! I am asking this because of the information I read in the rules:

topic13-4767.php#p68142

But when I enter the Online & Lan option in the Demo Version game, I got a message that in order to play online I should buy the Full Version.
Is it still possible to play online with the Demo Version as stated in the rules topic?

Thank you!

Hello,

I guess the exact message you saw is : "If you want to play Online with a Modded game, you have to buy the Full version" ; this means you have to remove your Mods to play online.

To do that :
- click on Settings -> Profile -> Show Data Folder
- close the game
- open Mods.ini
- change this line from :
Load = <All>
to :
Load = <None>
- save & close Mods.ini
- launch the game

Side note : the demo is currently not up to date, so you will be able to play only with other demo users in your local network. I'll update it hopefully within 1 week.

Hello Manutoo,

Thank you so much, yes, it is exactly that! I have the Full version in Steam with XKT mod, but I was trying to execute also the Free version. That explains the message.

I have one more question: when I click "Show Data Folder in the Profile", both the Full and Demo versions are using the same Data Folder. Because of this, changing "Mods.ini" to Load = <None> for the Demo also disables the mods in my Full version.

Is there a supported way to make the Demo use a separate Data Folder, for example a folder inside the Demo installation directory, so that the Full version can keep using its own profiles/mods independently?

Something similar to a "portable" mode for example.

Thanks!

The easiest way is to edit the "Tennis Elbow 4 Demo" shortcut that should be on your desktop, and change Target from :
"C:\Program Files\Tennis Elbow 4 - Demo\Game\Tennis Elbow 4.exe"
to :
"C:\Program Files\Tennis Elbow 4 - Demo\Game\Tennis Elbow 4.exe" -ModsIni #None#

Thank you so much Manutoo, this solves what I wanted to do! Now I can enter the Online & Lan menu without any issues.
I have another question, if it's not too much trouble.. When I click on "Find Internet Games", I get this message:

"You have to install the latest version to create a public game" and sometimes: "You have to install the latest version to find Internet games"

Is this referring to the Demo update you mentioned?:

The demo is currently not up to date, so you will be able to play only with other demo users in your local network. I'll update it hopefully within 1 week.

By the way, the idea I have is to play with a user who has the Full version, so that I could join his game. I'm not sure whether this Demo update applies to my case, but I still wanted to ask about it.

Thanks again!

Yes, to do that, you'll have to wait for the next demo update, which should come middle of next week (ie: a couple of days after the next official update).

Ok, got it! Thank you so much Manutoo for all your replies and for taking the time to answer my questions. I'll wait for the demo update next week!
