Post subject: My zone wont show up in zone list..

i read and searched through everything, but couldnt find out why i dont see my zone in the zone list after i open the subbill and subgame. do i copy/paste continuum into my own zones folder? i'll attach my ini files so you can take a look at it. all i see when i load the subgame it says attempting to establish connection or something like that.

Do you have a router? Your router might have a firewall and may require you to configure your ports which you can find in Weevils post in a Sticky at the top of this section.

It is your Router I used to have that same problem you have to open up the ports. You type 192.168.0.1 into the URL bar of any internet browser and you will get to your routers homepage (you might be prompted for a username and password the default username is usually admin while the password is usually 1234 or password)

Then find a place with ports and using the same port you put in your ini as a starting port and 1 after it for your ending port(ex: Starting port=3000 Ending Port=3001)

Then logout so on w/e.

Uh, Blindmonkey21, you're not really helping him here.

Your router is something we'll deal with later, if you have any, and if it's causing trouble.
First you'll have to make sure you can enter the zone, then after it you can try getting others to enter.

In your server.ini are a few mistakes.
Try to set the following:

Server.ini:

Quote:

[Misc]
Port=382
ServerIP=(get this value from http://www.whatismyip.com/)

[Billing]
IP=localhost
Password=cheese
Port=185

Subbill.ini:

Quote:

[Misc]
AllowNewUsers=1
BillingPassword=cheese
MaxQueueForLogin=50
Port=185

Note: Colored values have to match eachother, obviously.

In Continuum add a costum zone with "127.0.0.1" as IP, and port 382 (which is, if you use the server.ini Misc:Port setting as I posted above, Subgame's game port).

Try to enter your zone, if it doesn't work paste the console outputs of Subgame and Subbill here.

Since I have no idea who you are I'll just assume you don't know how to copy/paste the console output, therefore a quote from this thread:

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.
