Code:
var
    player1
    player2
    
world
    New()
        ..()
        if(params && ("Player1" in params) && ("Player2" in params))
            player1 = params["Player1"]
            player2 = params["Player2"]

client
    verb
        ChallengePlayer()
            var/list/players = new
            var/client/C
            for(C)
            //  if(C == usr) continue
                players += C
            var/player_challenged = input(usr,"Challenge who?") as null|anything in players
            if(!player_challenged) return FALSE
            var/_address = startup(,0,"-once","-params Player1=[key]&Player2=[player_challenged]")
            usr << link(_address)
        //  player_challenged << link(a_ddress)


Problem description: I wonder why the new world doesn't startup when I challenge myself? (haven't tried with other people)

Unless you can supply me a reason for me to do that, you're no help. If you can't, please don't reply until you can help me.

Well I can tell you that it worked fine for me, it started new world in DreamDeamon and connected to it with DreamSeeker

That's odd. Perhaps it is a BYOND bug? Firewall? Which BYOND version are you using?

That's the version I'm using, so I really don't know what the problem is... feedback anyone?

You startup does not work.

Ripiz did you try the verb or did you think you have solved the problem by Logging in..

[EDIT] first of all DivineO'peanut you must supply a dmb file.

Doing that works

var/address = startup('test.dmb',0,"-once","-params Player1=[key]&Player2=[player_challenged]")


Change test.dmb to the dmb file of your game and also i hope this helps you.

That's odd. The reference says that if no file is specified, the current world is loaded. But, it works, so I won't complain. Any idea as to why it won't work when I don't specify a file?

I have no idea you might want to file a bug report?
