'''In most instances, downloading the latest version is the best decision.''' Server will reject the connection of obsolete client after some updates. == Client Settings == After installation, there are 2 way to configure your BallanceMMOClient settings<br />First, you can enter BallanceMMOClient entry in BML Mods menu, then use its submenu to set the settings what you want set. If your settings is too long or contain complex words, you can use the next method instead.<br />Method 2, Close game, navigate to {{code|ModLoader/Config/BallanceMMOClient.cfg}} and open it. Now, you can change all settings directly. === Core Settings === Server URL and player name are 2 essential settings for this plugin. You should fill them before any multiplayer game. Player name setting locate in Player - Playername. Please choose a clear name. By the way, BMMO server will check your given name and remove all invalid characters, so the name adopted by the server may not exactly same with your set name. Server URL setting locate in Remote - ServerAddress. You must set your server URL correctly, and stay in the same server with your friends/competitors, otherwise you can not do a normal multiplayer game. If the port of this field is omitted, the plugin will connect to the default port {{code|26676}}. === Other Settings === Spectator Mode setting locate in Remote - SpectatorMode. If enable it, you will enter spectator mode when joining multiplay server. The player in spectator mode will not be account into level ranking. And your ball position also will not be shared. Spectator mode are frequently used by tournament commentary and referee. The name of online players in spectator mode will have a extra star ({{code|*}}) prefix to indicate them.

请注意各个服务器的版本要求，并下载正确的版本。'''下载最新版本'''通常'''是最正确的选择'''。在一些版本的升级后，服务器将不会允许旧版本的客户端连接。Extrapolation setting locate in Gameplay - Extrapolation. If enable it, plugin will use extrapolation algorithm to smooth the movement of shadow ball to get better visual effect. If you disable it, the path of each players ball will be dispersed ("Flash"). The default of this setting is enable and we highly recommend all players enable it. Player list color setting locate in Gameplay - PlayerListColor. This setting allow you customize the color of player list panel which displayed at the right-bottom corner of game window. Usually no need to modify this.
