Post subject: my zone that i made wont work
i tried to make my own zone with the server.zip file, how to make a zone instructions, and how to make a lan zone or whatever. it still appears red in the list of different zones. i'm just trying to get into my zone!!! new_let_it_all_out.gif

If you downloaded it off th directory servers its a router.

If you manyually wrote in the IP and PORT, make sure you its set up correctly, and that the zone is on those numbers.

Make sure you have no discontinuities. Post again, with more information, if it still doesnt work.

well, um... the IP address is correct, but when i right-click my zone, it says IP/Port= (correct IP address) but for the port it says 0. my port is 50001.

Have you tried any other port numbers? Like a lower one for example.

Post a copy of your server.ini, either inside of [code] [/code] tags with your [Password] section removed, or copy/paste your server.ini to your desktop, and remove the [Password] section, and upload it to the board so we can check to see if any conflicting settings are in there.

well, i tried the port being 4000. it still appears red in the zone list. i tried taking the zone off and then putting it back on like someone said but that doesn't work either. occasionally, the subgame2.exe file will say "billing server connected" and i know that that is right, but also it might say "re-read setting ms xx" xx stands for a variable, usually something along the lines of 10, 30, 40, 60, 80, or any other two digit number that ends with a zero. i think this thinks i'm evil....... icon_cry.gif hmm.... new_evil.gif hehehe!

Use a different port for the server than the one you use for the billing server.

I used the server.ini above and it worked fine.

What biller are you using?
Have you tryed a fresh server. (d/ling a new server off the site and start editing those files)
If you have ICQ message me 48268560

Post subject:
Make sure that your biller or any server application is not running (Continuum either) when you edit your zone.dat file. Also make sure that your zone isn't in the list that comes up when you load Continuum. I have had that problem before. I geuss what it does is save right back over top of it again when you have it in there. It must save settings upon exiting the applications.
