GGClient 1.4 Installation Guide
This is a guild to those users also to those people who are going to install new GGclient.
First, download latest version:
ftp://gg:gg@download.gg-game.com/GGclientBeta1.3Install.exe
Okie, if you have installed GGCLient previous version(before 1.3), you need to uninstall it. You can either go to control pannel--> add/remove programmes and remove GG Esports Platform, or you can double click the install file you just download, select uninstall. After you have uninstalled the program, you may now double click install file to install latest version. In this way i believe you will not encounter any problems any more.
If you are a new comer, you can just run the install file. Click GGclient.exe to connect and play.
If you still have problems, please reply in this thread and i was help to solve it asap.
Play Games on GGClient
Just take Counter-Strike 1.6 and Warcraft III: TFT for demonstration.
To play Warcraft III: TFT, you need to:
1. Log in GG platform, select a Warcraft III: TFT room according to your region and double click to enter.
2. Click set game path to set path to the executable file
"war3.exe".
(If you are using a loader to start war3, you may set path to the loader file. After you press start game, you just need to click 'Yes' to run in compatible mode and follow the rest steps normailly. When you close game, you will need to press 'manually stop' button.)
3. Click "Start Game" button to launch WC3:TFT.
4. You need to enter "Local Area Network" instead of "Battle.net", but you will have similar experience as playing on Battle.net.
5. Note if you cannot join the game or you got ‘cannot connect to network’ error, you may click ‘setting’, choose the ‘
enhanced mode’ to try.
6. Just double click the game server listed in the Local Network Games to enter it. Or you can create your own game to let others find and join your server.
To play counter-strike 1.6, you need to:
1. Run GGclient.exe, fill in necessary information to log in platform.
2. On the left panel, it's a list of game rooms. Expand Counter-Strike 1.6, then double click one of the rooms to enter it.
3. Click "Set Game Path" button, the Client Setting window will pop out, choose Counter-Strike 1.6 and then click "Browse" or "Search" button to locate one of the files: "Steam.exe", "hl.exe", "cstrike.exe". If you use "hl.exe" to launch counter strike, please add parameter "-game cstrike" . Click "OK" to return to main window.
4. Click "Start Game" button.
If you are using steam.exe, please make sure your steam is not running before click this button. Then double click "Counter-Strike" in "Play games" window of steam to start cs.
5. Click "Find Servers" in the main menu of counter-strike, under "Lan" tab, click "Refresh" button 2 to 3 times to get the server list. Then double click the server you want to join. Or you can create your own game, others can find your server in the same way.
To play other games, the steps are quite similar as playing counter-strike and Warcraft III. The universal steps are:
1. Log in GG platform.
2. Enter one of the game room.
3. Set path to the executable file of that specific game.
4. Click "Start Game" button on the platform to launch the game.
5. Enter "LAN (Local Area Network)" section of that game to get the server list, or create your own game in LAN.
6. Double click the server that you want to join.
Exp System
Why do I need exp?
1.Registration invitations
2.Create clan
3.Apply got GGTV clan channel, clan forum., gg-msg group
4.The total exp of each of your clan members is the criteria for participating in future Clan Leagues.
5.G-Land (GG blog system) related services
6.Change your icon
7.Less chatting cooldown time on GGTV live watching during in game chatting with other viewers.
8.And more coming in future….
How to get more?
1.Play in games! You can gain more exp when you in game.
2.Post on the forum. Post one thread you can get 10 exp, -20 if thread is deleted. Additional 10 exp if thread is highlighted.1 exp per reply.
3. If you log on client but it happens that you are not playing, you will also gain exp. But compared to the exp gain while playing with other people, it is relatively much slower.
EXP & level calculation formula: (N*(N+1)*(N+2) + 16*N)*10. N is the level and the result is the total exp one need to obtain to level up.
Registration Invitation(RI): RI1 = 3, RIn = RIn-1 + n/2
GGClient Features:
Anti Spike Function
GG E-Sports Platform has provided anti-spike function integrated in the client. Basically anti-spike is trying to reduce spikes during game as much as possible. By using this, games can made to be smooth when playing.
The setting is very simple. If you are joining other people's game and feel spikes, right click the icon before the name of the player you are connecting, move your mouse to anti-spike. Choose anti-spike level according to the connection between you and the host. Also, you may ask the host to set anti-spike by right click your icon ---> Optimize connection --> anti-spike --> the level you wish to set. If the host is in your friend list and he accepts synchronizing anti-spike, he will automatically set anti-spike with you.
Also you can use Hotkeys when you are in game. You won't need to pause the game and tab out to adjust.
Anti-Spike Hotkeys:
Ctrl+Shift+F1 None
Ctrl+Shift+F2 Normal
Ctrl+Shift+F3 Stronger
