Post subject: Repeated Failed Attempts

This is my problem. Below \/ \/ \/ are my 2 files that need to be edited, when i try to connect to the billing server this is what it says "Attempting to establish a link to the billing server..." 4 times, then next line says "ERROR: Could not connect to billing server.", next line states "Starting server in stand-alone mode." I have a map and everything. Plz make suggestions as to what need to be changed or what i am doing wrong. ALSO, I am using a netgear router (I am on a hardline to it). I know both ip addresses. Please help me. If there is more you need to know, plz ask, id be happy to amke this easier for you. PS - I put the server folder in the continuum folder right? I am using shanks server.ini not catbids or w/e it is called. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

If testing your map or / and settings, or... whatever is the only thing what you want to do you should get and use Subspace.
Subspace allows you to load local map and settings into the client and "test" them.

If you really want to keep using a seperate server... are you sure the system you run it on its private IP is 12.218.238.249?!
And are you sure you're running both programs, subgame2.exe and subbill.exe?
It doesn't matter if the server files are in your Continuum directory or not, no.

No clue what's wrong. Try using Catid's biller.

hey cyan, i tried to but when i click it, its just a page with a crap load of weird symbols. also its a .rar so does that mean its for linux (which i dont have nor am converting to for any reason whatsoever) or do i need a program that can use the .rar extension?

Try executing powerarchiver and opening the rar file from there.
