uhm, Kazan, i am using a HOTU like version, and i have no acces to a real FS2 version, since Interplay doesn't seem to ship to Holland.

Download me

I believe the root.vp is all you need. IIRC apart from that and the exe's nothing was updated

[kasperl]

downloading as soon as my desktop is booted.

thank you.

edit: this thing is about a meg larger then the one i had. lets see if everything still works.

If you're going to host a game, you must have TCP port 7808 open to your computer (and that also means no Zonealarm).

Zone Alarm Pro caused me no problems at all. My second PC (which connects via MS ICS running on the first computer) crashed every time I tried to create a game even when I turned Zone Alarm (non pro) off.

i can run it fine with ZA on, and off, but the problem seems to be the router downstairs, the one my dad won't let me touch.

edit: does anyone see my game right now?

and who is "The Man's game"?
it looks like another one of those ghosts.

Connecting to a game running on my first PC however was no problem at all. I'll try connecting to another game next time I see one actually running

Are you using different ports than PXO FS2?

I can't host on PXO, but see and join games normally.

[kasperl]

ditto, but now it seems that i cannot join, but can host.


BTW, will there ever be some kind of lobby for this thing?

[Lightspeed]

Kazan, if you use different ports change it to the standard FS2 ports - There's some people that aren't able to configure their firewall (because they lack admin rights, etc); and whoever can play FS2retail online should be able to play FS2open online, too.

FS2 PXO works fine, only thing I cant do is host (games are invisible).

[kasperl]

Kara's root VP helped, now i have no more table complaints.

[Kazan]

lightspeed: im serving the default ports - the fs2netd connection is _outgoing_ tcp so firewall doesn't make one rip

the default fs2 port appesrs to be 7808

Is there a way to host a dedicated FS2open server?  

I already host a UT2004 demo server, so I could shut that down for the next few days and host an FS2open one.  The only thing is that it has to be dedicated...

The server has got plenty of RAM (1GB) and lots of bandwidth (college OC3+).  The UT2004 server hosts 14 on average, so I'm pretty sure I could handle a large FS2open server.

So what's the deal...is there a dedicated server option?

[kasperl]

there should be, but it crashes on running. try the mutli exe with -standalone somewhere in the command lines.

Yeah, the -standalone parameter will open up the dedicated server window, but then it crashes.  

[Kazan]

i know why standalone crashes... /me hunts down who ever removed the software renderer stubs

[KS_Al]

do stats save?

[ChronoReverse]

Yes they do.

[Kazan]

You can all thank RandomTiger for us not being able to use standalone servers

GENERALLY PEOPLE SHOULD MAKE SURE CODE IS REALLY UNSUED BEFORE RIPPING OUT THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF LINES


[can you tell i'm fairely pissed? I just spend 2 hours trying to reintergrate it only to find out it's impossible for me to do it because of some of the changes they've made

[Bobboau]

relax just give some indication were the problem is centered and it will get fixed

there was actualy a great deal of discussion about this

[Starks]

RandomTiger, you magnificent fool, why'd yah FUBAR Kazan's pristine netcode?
