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!!!

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.

[Smong]

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 have tried about 6 different ports, all of which are lower than 10000. but here is a copy of my server.ini w/o the passwords...
by the way... uhh if i missed a password then i dont really care because me and my friends are the only ones that might use it...but here it is...

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....... hmm.... hehehe!

[Dr Brain]

Sounds good, check your zone.dat.

[guest]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
i got it to work...my problem was that the port number in my zone.dat was wrong. a special thanks to you, dr. brain, because, in truth, you definitely helped the most...

THANK YOU ALL!!!

[Dr Brain]

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

[Guest]

[Guest]

ah srry 4got to take out ows, but i dont care its not a real zone or will ever be used as one, its a testing grounds for me to make lvl and gfx.
thats why i want to run off my comp, so ill just start it up and do my work and turn it off. not a full time server

[Dr Brain]

It still gives you the same error message?

[Guest]

yes it still says unknown paclet # 36 in the subbil

also it shows as online with 1 person in it, dumani made a post just like my problem too

[Dr Brain]

Make sure you actually changed the zone.dat. Also make sure you changed the server.ini.

[Guest]

make sure????
i save or ctrl s...wut more can u do?

[Dr Brain]

Double check? The zone.dat needs to be changed for the new port.

[Guest]

well im prety much giving up, ive tried everyhting and u guys dont seem to now either. i got anouther guys inis and still didnt work. im jsutteg the packet error #36 every time itry to enter. i tried to enter on a diff comp and didnt work.

[Mine GO BOOM]

Do you have a version1 folder? If so, do you have a subspace.exe in that folder?

[Guest]

yes i do, i dled the server kit from ur server site.
the subspace.exe file is 423kb if that makes a diff.

[Sketter]

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

Sketter

[Katie]

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.
