Of course you can host it, with or without LAN.

It'd actually be better if it were on your lan. That way, only you can have access to it. Perfect for testing

He's probably on a router which doesn't have the right ports forwarded to his computer, same thing for another system on his lan, too.

Well i mean i could host it on my lan and i do have a rounter its a D-link, but its way to confusing to me to set it up on a lan. i wanted someone to host iot for me so i can get everything working and then could get a place to host my zone. If anyone could help me it would be great.

Just run it on the system you play on, you don't need to run it on a seperate computer if it's just for "getting everything to work".

Err, I was just saying you can run it on YOUR computer or on another one in your network.

I won't try explaining anymore then, apparently giving you what you ask for is the only way to help you.

O right i do want to run it on my system not on another one. But how do i. Im not planing running it on another computer in my netwrok. All i want to do is get ut running on my copmuter if not i need to set it up on like ssz or somthing like that, but befor i do that i need a host or if i can get mine working, to host it so i can get everything working. Do you understand?

For help with Linksys routers, read Weavil's tutorial. A list of some bots can be found here. For setting up the zone, look at the tutorial on the Server Help site.

Some non-SSC Hosts:
NTC
SSN
SSI
SSP

run it off your own system and then in zones.dat and zone.bak (both in your continuum folder) add:

Code: Show/Hide

Local Zone,127.0.0.1,5000,,1
#this is a zone off my own computer!

you don't need to be connected to any network or anthing... you can use the same IP for your bots to connect to

Stop asking us if we understand what you mean or not, we did from your first post.

You can open the .dat and .bak files with a text editor, like notepad.

I'd recommend clicking Zones -> Add costum in the main window of Contiuum, though.
Just give it any name you want, use "127.0.0.1" as IP and the port your subgame is running on.

Why won't it let you run it from your own system? What is going wrong?
Bah, I can't believe I'm even trying to help this guy, doomed to fail anyway.

Sorry if i ask you that, but i dont kno whats wroung i mean i did verything right in the server.ini and subbill.ini everything it told me to, and then i click in the subbill then subgam2 and it connects to the billing. Then when i go to connect to it from continuum it wont connect. Then it tells me to go to the help thing at subspace.com. Ok and i got your post befor i wrote this one and i did what you said and when i did all that the thing is green and then i started up the subbil and subgame and when i try to connect on continuum it says "Clinect connection request from billing server ignored. Does that help at all.

Just go to this thread and read my first post, follow the link in it.
The INI checker will make sure the settings are right.

Copy the correct versions into your files, then try to connect again.

sentences have a subject and a predicate, which includes a verb.

the problem with the first sentence is that it has four subjects and four predicates with only one conjunction.

the problem with the second sentence is that it's a dependent clause because it begins with the transitional word "if" and doesn't contain an independent clause to make it a sentence.

Here's a link to help you review before your next post: http://www.uottawa.ca/academic/arts/writcent/hypergrammar/subjpred.html

Here's another link if you ever ask yourself, "Is this a sentence?": http://ace.acadiau.ca/english/grammar/fragment.htm

O sorry, but i still need some help, ok i have got my zone up and running but it thinks im not the owner how do i fix that, and when i go in to the sysop thing to put dont names where do i put it. it just says put it here. Also i cant do any commands. Can you help me with this.

Solo Ace - Mon Jul 26, 2004 11:00 pm

Put your name in sysop.txt.
Example:

Quote:

Solo Ace

I think this isn't required if you disabled CheckSysop under [Validation] in server.ini (if it's "CheckSysop=0" it's disabled, if it's "=1", then it's enabled).

In your server.ini you have set a few passwords, like this:

Quote:

[Password]
SysopPassword=abcd
EnergyPassword=dcba
ModeratorPassword=1234
SuperModeratorPassword=4321
VIPPassword=5678

(of course this wouldn't be secure enough, but whatever, it's just an example).

Logging in method 1:
You can put your sysop password at the end of your regular password, dividing both passwords by a '*' (asterisk).
If my password would be "cow", then I'd login as sysop by using this: "cow*abcd" as password.
You should make a new profile in Continuum so you can easily switch profiles since logging in at another zone won't work this way, of course.

Logging in method 2:
When you enter your zone you'd become a sysop by typing a '*' and then your sysop password.
Like this:

Quote:

Solo Ace> *abcd

Then you're logged in as sysop.

The commandlist for subgame can be found here, but I guess you knew that already.

Ok ya i get what you mean but i ment in the SYSOP folder it say put your names here i woll show you:

//Put the names of only your Sysops here
//Will allow only following names to log in as sysop if enabled in server.ini for SysopCheck
//Assassin2684

So do i out my names there where i have mine or what because i logged in as a super moderator and mod but i cant log in as a owner still or smod and sysop.

Thanks if you help me and if you dont i can see why.

Are you foreign or young? I can usually pick out foreign people so I'm thinking it's young.

To change settings, like the thrust strength or how strong the wormholes are go in the game logged in as a sysop and push esc and then c.

You'll get a file and you can change settings there. Push f11 when you're done to save it.

To change the help that appears in F1 you would need to use lvz. Lvz toolkit is downloadable at subspacedownloads and there's even a program out there specifically for making F1 help lvz.

What you put there is almost correct, the problem is: lines starting with "//", "#" and ";" get ignored by the program, they're only comments, so remove the "//" you put in front of your name.

The ?owner setting has to be changed by using the Esc-C method Bak explained you about.

Ok ya i got all that stuff and i can sighn on all the stuff but the things i dident find in the esc+c thing was: How do i make all the bulluts bouncey, i can make the wormholes less powerfull, and im having truble with the jackpot and the music. My zone is a turf style zone and i want it when a team tuches all the flags and then a timers starts and when the timers is done they win the jackpot. Im also haveing truble with the F1 thing i think i might get a friend to help me with it. Thanks guys

I'm not familiar with game settings, I could start guessing but that wouldn't help you.
I refuse to install the client again to look for an answer, from this point I can't help you.

you need to set the prizeweight for bouncy bullets to a postivive number, set all the other prizeweights to zero and set initial bounty on each ship to 1.

for the timer thing i believe you need a bot, but i am not certain.

He asked for zone hosting first, then when he found out he didn't *need* someone else to host it this thread's topic changed.

This thread belongs in General Questions, but whatever.
