PvP

PvP lets you use duel rooms and the friends list. You can also trade cards.

Below, we show three ways of setting up PvP depending on your needs/setup. You should only run a single server executable. Each player will connect via the client to this server.

Setting it up on a single PC

  • In Data/Settings.json set MultiplayerEnabled to true.
  • In Data/ClientData/ClientSettings.json set MultiplayerToken to some random text value
  • Copy / paste the entire YgoMaster folder so that it creates YgoMaster - Copy
  • Inside the YgoMaster - Copy folder edit Data/ClientData/ClientSettings.json and set MultiplayerToken to a different random text value to the previous folder
  • Run YgoMaster.exe in the YgoMaster folder
  • Run YgoMasterClient.exe in both folders

Setting it up on LAN

  • In Data/Settings.json set MultiplayerEnabled to true
  • In Data/ClientData/ClientSettings.json set MultiplayerToken to some random text value
  • Modify BaseIP in both Data/Settings.json and Data/ClientData/ClientSettings.json to point to the IP of the machine which runs YgoMaster.exe

Setting it up on WAN

  • In Data/Settings.json set MultiplayerEnabled to true
  • In Settings.json set SessionServerIP to 0.0.0.0
  • In Settings.json set MultiplayerPvpClientConnectIP to localhost
  • In Settings.json set BindIP to http://*:{BasePort}/
  • In Settings.json and ClientSettings.json set BaseIP to the WAN IP
  • In Data/ClientData/ClientSettings.json set MultiplayerToken to some random text value

Troubleshooting (Firewall and Port Forwading)

Firewall (LAN / WAN)

You must allow inbound traffic on your firewall for ports 4989 and 4988 (these are the default ports).

In the host machine (machine which you will be running the server from): In Windows, search for the program "Windows Defender Firewall". Click on "Advanced Settings" in the left-hand panel. This opens up a window called "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security". From here, click on "Inbound Rules" on the left-hand panel. And click on "New Rule..." in "Actions" panel (right-hand side). Follow the wizard to set two rules, one for each port.

Port Forwading (WAN)

You probably need to set up port forwading in your router for this to work. The details of port forwading are beyond this guide. This process is router dependent. But make sure you forward the ports 4989 and 4988 to the machine you are running the server from.

General Troubleshooting

WAN is harder to set up. You probably want to start by setting up on the same PC (with two clients). If that works, change the IP addresses the clients use (Modify BaseIP in Data/ClientData/ClientSettings.json to use the LAN IP. If using the LAN IP does not work, but direct (localhost) connections do, it may be a firewall issue).

Once LAN is working (ideally with two computers two test it on). You can try setting up WAN by changing the client connection IP to to the WAN IP (in addition to the steps outlined above in "Setting Up WAN" section). If LAN works, but WAN does not. It may be a router port forwading issue.

Notes

  • Only one PC needs to make changes to Settings.json and run YgoMaster.exe as it's the server. All PCs must edit ClientSettings.json and run YgoMasterClient.exe
  • Any time you make changes to json files you will need to reopen the EXEs
  • Every PC (and every seperate YgoMaster folder) must have a different MultiplayerToken as otherwise they will share the same session which will break things
  • Do not modify YgoMaster/Data/Players/ or any sub folders while YgoMaster.exe is running
  • Clicking mates / duel field borders are synced with the other player. Spectators also see it but their clicks don't sync
  • Sometimes clients bug out if you restart YgoMaster while in a duel (when you next enter a duel one client will get stuck before starting the duel). Restart all clients when reopening YgoMaster
  • Play around with MultiplayerNoDelay (Settings.json / ClientSettings.json) to see which works best for you (it disables nagle's algorithm)
  • Releases include a folder called YgoMaster/Data/CardData/. To Generate that folder yourself read Updating.md
  • Client updates can break PvP. If you'd like to keep using PvP with YgoMaster you should wait until a new release before letting Steam update the client

Starting duels

  • Click DUEL in the home menu
  • Click Duel Room (PvP) and create a duel room as you would in the normal game

Trading cards

You can trade cards with other players by going to their profile and clicking "Trade"

  • Both players need to click "Trade" to enter the trade
  • Your cards go to the "main deck" and their cards go to the "extra deck"
  • Use the button on the top right where "SAVE" normally is to complete your trade. There's a cooldown of a few seconds on the button when moving cards to avoid accidental trading. You will need to press the trade button again if either player modifies the cards. If the button says "Trade!!!" it means the other player has pressed the trade button
  • Use the sub menu of the trade menu to view their cards
  • You can add their cards / remove their cards from the trade
  • You cannot craft / dismantle while trading

Duel emotes

You can send a pre defined message to the other player during the duel by clicking your player icon in the bottom left of the screen then clicking an entry.

The raw text is sent over to the player allowing you to enter custom text. The text can be found in YgoMaster/Data/ClientData/Text/Emotes.json. Every time you click on your player icon the file is reloaded.

You can play sounds such as This will make a sound plsd:SE_BUFF_CHANGE
