For subgame there are some settings in server.ini near the bottom.
Quote: | [Billing]
ServerName=lalala
[Directory]
IP=sscentral.subspace.inet.fi,sscentral.subspacehq.com
Description=woo yay b3ta.com
NamePassword=can be anything
Port=4991 |
If you are hosting the server on your own computer, then you should be using add custom and not downloading it from a directory server. Only other players need to use the directory. To prevent your custom added zone being overwritten by an entry from the directory server, you should name it something different, like 'local server'. |

Then there is probably a firewall blocking outgoing connections to port 4991. |

Maybe disable your firewall to try it, if it works tell us  |

NamePassword should be "cane", just incase it's still in use.
Also, is the problem that people can't find your zone on their zone list?
That YOU can't find it?
That they CAN find it but can't ENTER? |

All the popular directory servers now use the NamePassword for the first-word part of the name. This prevents someone from making SSCX Goatse.
So if the first word in your zone name is already used somewhere else, the directory server will ignore your zone with the incorrect NamePassword. This works on a first come, first server basis, with a bit of caching of passwords for a while. |

mgb: i presume that means that your username on the directory server will be the first word of your zone's name and the password will be the NamePassword setting. am i right?
is 'cane' default so zones without network tags don't stop each other if their name starts with the same word? _________________ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur. |
