Login using a different account and NO admin hotuk. Lemme know how that goes.
I used other account and no admin hotuk .
Still gets connection failed after press on the server name .
WB Dark... just when we needed you most... who shone the the Bat Signal light? :wink:
@avi20: You can try my latest guide, that may give you some more insight... but I think you are looking at similar, but different protocols in the server and client you are using.
After all, it should have connected by the time it has accepted your user name and password... to loose the connection at the point you select a server doesn't make any sense for any other reason. After all, the server name comes from the server to the client after it has accepted your login details.
Unless you are good at tracing both code and network packets, I would start looking for a more compatible client and server executable pair. :s
What I still don't get, is that "other people" can connect fine.
Are you running Windows Vista? And have you checked for the dreaded "Compatibility files"?
Also, can you post your full server side hotuk.ini? Because, I wonder if you have a "*LOGIN_SERVER" command that is set to a different IP than the "*GAME_SERVER" or "*DATA_SERVER" lines.
We usually only use "*GAME_SERVER" and the other's default to that, but it is possible to set different IPs to spread the load on a heavily populated server... and I'm not sure those are the right commands, but there are some that are something like that that I played with.
I am running Windows XP SP3.
My full server side hotuk : http://www.sendspace.com/file/8426b0
If my hotuk ain't good , can I have a good one ?
I am going to try your lastest guide too .
But i think the problem comes from that the server and the client are on the same machine .
And yes only other people people can connect to the server without problem .
Im using Avast home anti virus and Outpost firewall free 2009 .
Both of them are updated .
also have all updates from Microsoft updates.
yes yesQuote:

All the problem is when i do the server public (put my true IP from whatsmyip.org in the server side hotuk).
@UserNameHere2
I could login on the second sub server you told me to do because its 127.0.0.1 . but when i try log on the first sub server i get freeze for 5 sec and then connection failed as always .
You have to put 2 GameServer ... just add 2 lines
*GAME_SERVER Others IP IP IP
*GAME_SERVER Me 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
you and the other ppl will log in the same server... it's just that since you're using game.exe on same computer as server.exe you can only connect via 127.0.0.1
The problem is solved :)
Thanks a lot to UserNameHere2 and Bobsobol and DarkKnightH20 and all who helped .
The fix :
Added in the server side hotuk :
*GAME_SERVER Others RealIP RealIP RealUP
*GAME_SERVER Me 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
I connected to "Me" and other ppls connected to "Others" and it worked . i saw them ingame .
Finally solved this issue . took so much time but it deserves it
Not true; I can ping / establish connection my own IP just fine.Quote:

These are the sort of lines I was thinking of:-
And I also wonder if changingCode:*CLAN_SERVER 79.177.125.43 80 79.177.125.43 80
//*AREA_SERVER 79.177.125.43 79.177.125.43 79.177.125.43 not needed
//*LOGIN_SERVER_IP 79.177.125.43 same
//*SYSTEM_IP 79.177.125.43 same
//*TT_DATA_SERVER extra data server put the IP of extra data server here NOTE: if you dont what wtf it is dont use it
//*SERVER_LINK_IP links the server together i think
toCode:*GAME_SERVER Others 79.177.125.43 79.177.125.43 79.177.125.43
*GAME_SERVER Me 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
may work... of course, I'm guessing your LAN IP as 192.168.1.1, but I'm sure you can figure that with ipconfig easy enough. :wink:Code:*GAME_SERVER Others 79.177.125.43 192.168.1.1 127.0.0.1
Please try and let me know how it goes.
^
I tried and it did not work .
I tried *GAME_SERVER Others 79.177.125.43 192.168.1.1 127.0.0.1
Changed the 192.168.1.1 to my LAN IP and I got connection failed .
Also tried 79.177.125.43 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 and got connection failed.
I tried 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 79.177.125.43 and got connection failed too .
I think it just says that the whole 3 IPS must be the same .
Okay... Thanks for the feed back. So clearly you do need to have a separate server name... Shame, but still a good work around.
