I think your zone isn't up, it's just showing green until the ping times out.

Maybe you'd like to check your INI configuration files using this.

Using the search feature could help you finding a solution to your problem too.

If you're still having issues with it provide us more information about your problem/settings.

Btw, you speak English pretty well for a 13 year old Dutchie.

Note for others: Since I didn't feel like writing the following in English, I did it in Dutch.
If you don't understand Dutch, don't bother reading the following.

Uhm, ik ben ook een Nederlander aap.

Ik kan me nog vaag herinneren dat ik jou ooit heb gebanned.

Herinner jij je iemand genaamd "2slow4u" nog?

Die subgame checker is door mij en Dustpuppy geschreven zoals je kunt zien, zo fantastisch is het nog niet.

What does that mean?

Your program, doesen't FIX The problem, it only checks it and tell you the misstakes, I've now fixed it. (i hope) I'll try it now.

PS: Ik ben ongeveer 6 keer gebanned geweest in T3G Dus zal best, En 2slow4u ken ik nog wel.

The console is the black window (well, you can change the color, but the default is black) with text on it, that text is the program's output.
Paste the subgame (and subbill, if you are using your own biller) console output here, or at least a few of the last lines.
Doing this will tell us what could be wrong with your settings.

The INI checker is not supposed to fix the problems (like I said on the front page), it's supposed to help you filtering out common mistakes made in the configuration files, such as port conflicts and mismatches.

On the front page I wrote:

We do not guarantee that your INI scripts will work after using this system.
It is only meant to help you finding mistakes, the changes the scripts make are only suggestions, use them with caution!

You don't need to tell me what the scripts do since I'm one of the authors.

It's not a program, it's a script which checks and corrects the data you put into it (it gives you fix suggestions).

If you really want me to check them, private message them to me or post them here.

Ik ben dus - voor het geval je m`n hint niet door had - 2slow4u.

How to pipe console output to a file:
whatever.exe > output.txt

Are you behind a router?

Solo Ace - Sat Aug 21, 2004 1:44 pm
Post subject:

Haha I wanted to show you using an image how to copy the text from a console but I didn't since I assumed you knew how, ah well, too bad.
To copy the text from a console:
Right-click on the console -> select -> [select the text you want to copy by dragging the cursor over the console while having the left mouse button down] -> hit the Enter key on your keyboard; after doing this the selected text is on your clipboard and can be used for pasting.

And of course what Cyan told you is useful too.

How are you trying to connect to your zone?
If you haven't tried this yet you might want to now.

As I posted here:

I wrote:

If it runs on the same system as you want to enter it add a costum zone in Continuum (go to "Zones" -> "Add costum...").

The name you give to it doesn't matter, put "127.0.0.1" as the IP address, and the port number as the port the server runs on.

Put 6000 as the port number, of course.

Yes, i am behind a router cyan.

And i'm just searching my zone in the zone list which you download, I'll try that, what you just said solo

Thnx

Err, one more thing, how do you upload your own cfg file to the zone?

I know i'm a newbie @ this.

Solo Ace - Sun Aug 22, 2004 8:16 am
Post subject:

From the Subgame server commandlist:

Quote:

*getfile (name) = Downloads file from server (version 1.34.5 or higher)
*putfile (name) = Uploads file from server. Cannot upload some files (.dll, .exe, etc) (version 1.34.5 or higher)
*delfile (name) = Deletes file from server. Cannot delete some files (.dll, .exe, etc) (version 1.34.5 or higher)

So you'd put the file you'd wish to upload in Continuum's active directory (default is "C:\Program Files\Continuum\"), then type *putfile (filename), so that'd be *putfile server.cfg.
Note: These commands require sysop access.

Since you're running the server you could just put the file in the server's directory too, of course.

Since he's most likely running the server from his own computer it would be easier to just copy the files into the server folder

Hey, I tought the problem was solved, I Can enter the zone, But others can't, how come?

And i dunno how to upload those damn files..

It wont work if i copy them into the server map.

What was up with this server like 15 minutes ago? First I didn't get any reply from it, then it only sent like only the first 10 lines of the page.

I saved my reply though.

Are you behind a router and / or firewall?

If you have a router or something else that splits your internet connection in multiple connections (which is called a NAT, Network Address Translation) you'll need to tell that network component which traffic has to go where, otherwise your computer can't be reached from outside.

Unfortunately (well, not for me, I just bought another router, the router they sell sucks) the main Dutch Telecom company supported only a few ethernet modems and one kind of router if you got an internet account from them, but that means you probably have one of those ethernet modems (and maybe that router) which means I can probably help you configuring them!

Post the information about how your computer is connected to the net, like which router and / or ethernet adapter, after that we'll see how to change the settings.

If you don't know what kind of stuff you have try browsing to some of the following IP adresses, some of those could represent a router or ethernet/cable modem:

If you see you got a reply from one of those there might be some configure panel at it.
Well, just try to see what your connection is going through and post that information here, don't touch settings yet!

Are you sure you're logged in as sysop?
Did you try restarting the server?

Btw, in het Engels is "map" iets heel anders dan wat het in het Nederlands is, gebruik "directory" of "folder".

Solo, I'm very noobie at this, i don't have any of that information, you probably can't help me now

but i clicked all the links, And none of them work, They just give the "Page not found" Message.

Cyan, I don't even know what a OS is, can you explain please..

God i'm dumb.

Thnx all.

BTW: I am logged in as sysop, i haven't try resetting it, just *recycle?

OS is a common acronym for "Operating System".

Yours is probably Windows, but Windows has several versions, such as 3.1, 98, 2000, XP, etc.

Thanks, I'm using Windows XP.

Solo Ace - Tue Aug 24, 2004 6:01 am
Post subject:

Ask whoever connected your computer to the net about it.

A *recycle is not - afaik - the same as a restart, you can kill the server and then start it again or type "*shutdown subgame2.exe", this will do the same.

Do you have any idea what connection type ((A)DSL / cable / ISDN / 56k) you have?

You can try following the wire from your computer to the connector in the wall or something.
