mplayer.ini file, found in your main Red Baron 3D folder
(C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Red Baron Pack\Red Baron 3D\mplayer.ini)
is the most important file for multi-player in RB3D. An "ini" file can easily be opened up and modified/edited with Notepad, but it is the file that allows one to connect to game servers and have quick, repetitively used chat phrases.
When one opens up the mplayer.ini file, they will see a lot of "//" The "//" is for comments to explain functions, it basically tells the game to "Ignore this line, this is for the humans to read."
[MetaServers] is followed by a list of servers in which game servers conect to to advertise that they are availible. This ldoes change and has been updated by Sky Pilot who lists the known working Meta Servers here: [url=http://home.att.net/~shintaro/Current_RB3D_Meta_Servers.html]http://home.att.net/~shintaro/Current_RB3D_Meta_Servers.html[/url]
