Of course you can host it, with or without LAN.

It'd actually be better if it were on your lan. That way, only you can have access to it. Perfect for testing

He's probably on a router which doesn't have the right ports forwarded to his computer, same thing for another system on his lan, too.

Well i mean i could host it on my lan and i do have a rounter its a D-link, but its way to confusing to me to set it up on a lan. i wanted someone to host iot for me so i can get everything working and then could get a place to host my zone. If anyone could help me it would be great.

Just run it on the system you play on, you don't need to run it on a seperate computer if it's just for "getting everything to work".

Well we cant use lans and netwroks on shanky but we can set it up and its just to confusing for me, i dont kno whaty your talking about i cant start it up on my system. ???

Err, I was just saying you can run it on YOUR computer or on another one in your network.

I won't try explaining anymore then, apparently giving you what you ask for is the only way to help you.

O right i do want to run it on my system not on another one. But how do i. Im not planing running it on another computer in my netwrok. All i want to do is get ut running on my copmuter if not i need to set it up on like ssz or somthing like that, but befor i do that i need a host or if i can get mine working, to host it so i can get everything working. Do you understand?

For help with Linksys routers, read Weavil's tutorial. A list of some bots can be found here. For setting up the zone, look at the tutorial on the Server Help site.

run it off your own system and then in zones.dat and zone.bak (both in your continuum folder) add:

Code: Show/Hide

Local Zone,127.0.0.1,5000,,1
#this is a zone off my own computer!

you don't need to be connected to any network or anthing... you can use the same IP for your bots to connect to

ok see im going to run it off my own system but it wont let me, i need to go ON TO MY ZONE like you would want to play on it. I can edit everything from my computer, of corse, and i thuink i ahve set uop the bots but i need to go ont the zone and make sure they work. do you get it now, and i sort f get what your talking about but when i go in zones.bat and the other one it says what shouls i open it with.

Stop asking us if we understand what you mean or not, we did from your first post.

You can open the .dat and .bak files with a text editor, like notepad.

I'd recommend clicking Zones -> Add costum in the main window of Contiuum, though.
Just give it any name you want, use "127.0.0.1" as IP and the port your subgame is running on.

Why won't it let you run it from your own system? What is going wrong?
Bah, I can't believe I'm even trying to help this guy, doomed to fail anyway.

Sorry if i ask you that, but i dont kno whats wroung i mean i did verything right in the server.ini and subbill.ini everything it told me to, and then i click in the subbill then subgam2 and it connects to the billing. Then when i go to connect to it from continuum it wont connect. Then it tells me to go to the help thing at subspace.com. Ok and i got your post befor i wrote this one and i did what you said and when i did all that the thing is green and then i started up the subbil and subgame and when i try to connect on continuum it says "Clinect connection request from billing server ignored. Does that help at all.

Sorry for the duble post but i cant edit but i was wondering i have aim if you want i could like send you the files or somthing so you can check it and make sure everything is right. If you want.

Solo Ace · Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2004 5:08 pm Post subject:

Just go to this thread and read my first post, follow the link in it.
The INI checker will make sure the settings are right.

Copy the correct versions into your files, then try to connect again.
