I tried to get others to do what I should have done in the first place... compile the server so that you can just download it, set up the database server, and run it. Nobody would do it, and I even got some rude responses to my requests.
I made the server myself. This is the version that has been posted here a while... so I dont know about updates, or anything like that... If you have a newer version, COMPILE it and post it here for downloading... quit being stingy!
This version of the server works with an OLD client (not sure which one) but I'm sure it's posted somewhere on this site which one you need.
You will need to download postgres SQL server to run the background database. Once you have done that... the other file I have included here is a simple batch file that has been converted to .EXE and it makes all the folders on your C: drive for the server backend... these folders are C:\CoFullDB, C:\CoFullDB\Main, and then a few folders inside that one. You need these because Postgres SQL looks for them when you run the server.
Feel free to scan the files for Virii or whatever. If someone wants to test these as well, I would appreciate it.
I'm not a programmer, so I cant answer questions about code, NPCs, etc... but I am trying to help those who are also not programmers. This will hopefully let someone at least get their feet wet and not be so discouraged. I set the server address to 127.0.0.1 but it seems if you are online, it checks automatically for your IP address, and that is what address it will listen on, so you will need to change your IP in the config file in your conquer directory so that it reflects the right address, as well as anywhere else in the guide where it tells you to change the address.
The user name when you set up postgres needs to be "postgres" and the password needs to be "cb6482" in order for this server to run right. When you run the server its going to ask you the user name and pass... put those in
You can avoid it from detecting your IP by simply disabling your internet connection... just unplug the network cable from the back of your computer. Your machine will then only have address 127.0.0.1
If you have any suggestions for this post, please post about it.
P.S. You will need .NET 2.0 installed to run this. The program will prompt you if you dont have it installed, and it will take you to Microsoft's link for the files you need.
REMEMBER... when you install postgres... in order for this compiled version to work properly... you need to use postgres for the username and cb6482 for the database password... im getting private messages saying its not working... make sure you put that user name and that password into postgres during setup, as well as when it asks you for it running the server.
hah it shows me that authentication windows too when i enter those postgres and cb6482, i have tried many ways already and still cant get, what the heck is the problem.
cool dude, by the way do you manage it to run well... tnx for uploading, i'm back her in ragezone just to look things new... but am found this CO is quite interesting to give time...
Ok look... this is VERY IMPORTANT or the server will not run...
When you install postgres SQL you HAVE TO SET THE PASSWORD to cb6482 and leave the user name to "postgres"
Then when you run this server you use "postgres" for the user name and "cb6482" for the password. Make sure you read the tutorials on this forum in order to set up the rest. This server runs fine for me, but its an old version, so theres really nothing implimented on it. Just something to toy with another database server for me. Have fun/\.
omg...cant somebody just upload an installer, which loads EVERYTHING...that was you run through an installation process and when you finish your server is online running on localhost....id do it if i could get this bloody thing working :@
