About

The Novetus launcher comes with the 2007-2011 clients in the stable release. Get it at https://bitl.itch.io/novetus.

How to play

Select the place, then click Server.

To play in a local server:

1. Select the client you want to use.
2. Select the place you want to play in.
3. Start the server.
4. Allow client through the firewall if prompted.
5. Join the client to localhost.

To play in someone else's server:

1. Select the client specified by the host.
2. Join the client to the IP address and port given by the host.

You need to use the same Novetus version as the host.

If you join a server with the same username or user ID as someone else, this can cause issues. One way to avoid this is using your ROBLOX username and user ID, as long as your user ID is 2147483647 or less. Any more results in a negative user ID, which changes the behavior of certain places.

How to host

Select the place, then click Server.

1. Port forward on your router if not already done (usually you want to use port 53640).
2. Select the client to host with.
3. Select the place you want to host.
4. Start the server.
5. Allow client through the firewall if prompted.
6. Share your public IP address, specify port 53640, and specify the client so other users can join your server.

Users need to use the same Novetus version as you.

Hosting multiple servers at once

The standard port for hosting your own ROBLOX game servers is 53640, but you will need more ports if you want to host multiple servers at once on the same machine. Port forward additional ports for each other game server you would like to host. Specify those ports to the users who wish to join each server.
