Setup

Starting the Server

In order for Intersect to run, you will need to have the server running, first. This is the ā€œbackboneā€ of the engine and is necessary to be up and running for your game to be working. Start by going into the Server folder, and opening Intersect Server.exe.

ServerStarted

A terminal (black window with white text) should appear. Once the terminal states ā€œServer Startedā€ you are ready to go. Do NOT close the server.

Starting the Client

Next, you will open the Client, which is the actual game component of Intersect. Go to your Client and Editor folder and open Intersect Client.exe.

ClientStarted

The gameā€™s default main menu will appear. You are now ready to create your first character, who will also be your first admin.

Creating an Account.

Click on the ā€œRegisterā€ button.

ClickRegister

You will be asked to fill in account information. Use a name that will not be associated with your character for extra security. Type in your password and click ā€œRegisterā€.

CreateAccount

You will then be asked to create your character. Pick a name, a class, and donā€™t worry about getting too attached ā€“ you will likely be changing all of these things, later. Click ā€œLoginā€ and you will enter the game!

In-Game

Congratulations! Your character is now logged into the game. You wonā€™t see much, yet, but you are now ready to start changing all of that by editing your game!
