Server Help

Some more interesting stuff i dredged up. The following entries are loaded when starting subgame from subgame.ini (i've filled in examples o what i think could go in the entries)

[Peers]
MyArenas = example, example2

[Peer0]
//must include port and be valid hostname or entire entry is ignored.
Address = 127.0.0.1:1000
SendOnly = 0
SendPlayerList = 1
Password =bbbbb
Arenas = example

[Peer1]
Address = 127.0.0.1:6000
SendOnly = 0
SendPlayerList = 1
Password = fsfsf
Arenas = example2

[Peer...]
etcetcetc

The settings are loaded before anything else. Don't totally understand what these do (if anything) or mean. Anyone able to shed any light? Seems to be some kinda distributed server setting.

Mmm there's always been a rumor TW works on a distributed server network.

On another note I've found the correct syntax for *sendto

As was thought it sends a player to another zone

example usage /*sendto zone ip, zone port

Code: Show/Hide

/*sendto 127.0.0.1,6000

I've tested this on my computer and it works. I'm running the latest public version of subgame

Sweet! I echo the same sentiments, I've always heard TW runs on distributed network as well. If these settings/commands work, it makes it even more probable.

I actually talked with Dock about sendto years back, he said they run a single instance of subgame and that it's used to redirect players when they're being DDoS attacked

Found out that the full syntax is:

*sendto IP,port,arenaname

You can send them to a given arena, or use it at the edge of an arena map and send someone to the next one in an RPG-style game, etc!

Awesome

Too bad it's sysop only

You can actually send people to different arenas in the same server $$

This discovery opens up alot of new ideas for zones

Hey, get Priit to run it and we're on board. In the meantime, I'll be ridiculously happy over small miracles such as this.

just tried it from SSCI Mystic Kingdom to Trench wars, works but the map is redownloaded and saved in the original zone file.
Good stuff

Hi I don't know if this is useful to this group (I don't follow these forums and was linked to this topic) but the format of the packet that *sendto uses is:

Code: Show/Hide

#pragma pack(1)
typedef struct s2c_sendto S2C_SENDTO;
struct s2c_sendto {
BYTE type;       // 0x3B
DWORD ip_addr;    // IP Address (little endian)
WORD port_num;    // Port number (little endian)
WORD join_type;    // Same as the arena login packet
char arena_name[16]; // Arena Name
DWORD unused;
};
#pragma pack()

I haven't had any luck testing *sendto locally though, maybe because the target of my testing isn't connected to the SSC biller. Just guessing.

Also, I'm mildly confident that the INI settings mentioned here don't pertain to *sendto.

Your unused field is marked as "loginid" in asss. I never got it to work in asss anyway.

I sent myself from SSCI Penis to SSCI Halo multiple times. Pub to pub.

Does it require sysop in both source and target zones?
Does it work from arena to arena in a same zone?
I tried it and couldn't get it to work

/*sendto IP,Port will send you to a public arena, so it also works pub to pub.
