Hrace VBOX Server and Instances

[Shopko]

Hi all,

Thank you all so much for the work you've done putting these releases together. It's extremely helpful for nabs like me to get a server up and running.

I have a couple of problems with the server though, I'm not sure what to do about them. Can anyone give me some pointers?

1. Instances. I got a few instances working, like Heaven, Hell, Secret Passage, etc. I then loaded "is31", which should be the HH instance. I can enter the main hall, but once I talk to one of the pillars and the teleporter thing appears, I get "Unable to enter instance" displayed as a blue notification message. Do I need to also load another instance or something? I've been working on this, searching every forum I could find all day today. :)

2. TW system. I checked the "battlefield=1" parameter, and it looks okay along with the other settings in the gdeliveryd folder. But once I place a bid on a territory and the time to TW comes, it cancels the battle and refunds coins (I am the leader of my faction). I've made sure the battlegrounds maps are all loaded before TW time.

3. The always asked, always ROFL question... Is there any way to get even a couple of the 1.4.2 features working? The only thing I am REALLY interested in at this point is being able to see mobs' current HP. I get the "?/?" values for everything's hit points... I've noticed a couple of private servers are starting to offer genies and other 1.4.x stuff, so there must be some kind of leak out there...

Thanks a lot guys, sorry for the wall of text.

i have same problem

Which client are you using? I started out with the vbox hrace009 release as well, and my TW's and HH worked 100% right 'out of the box.'... So it's probably a compatibility issue between the server and whatever version of the client you're using.

(Mine was the PWI client, 'downgraded' per the instructions)

The only problem i have found within hrace's vbox release was that
devils Arcadia
and residence of blasphemy
were not working
Arcadia i got working but not the second.

I started with the 1.4.2 revision 392 client (most current client for PWI), and downgraded using the downgrader on pwd.codeplex.com...

I had the same thought though, so I am going to try another one of the client options from hrace's thread.

How did you manage to get Arcadia working? I might be able to use the same approach to get HH working here. Thank you for the link - I will check that one out too. :)

I'm a professional software developer. I really wish we had the actual source code for PWI, I would add the 1.4.2 stuff back in myself... It would be a fun side project for me and the other PWI addicts in my office.

I tried the HGN client, updated the elements.data and gshop.data, and now HH is working fine. Frost (er I mean "Ultimate Destination") appears to be glitched, but that was also the case with the downgraded 1.4.2 client.

It looks like the TW issues were also caused by client incompatibility.

I modded the client so it doesn't need to be started by launcher.exe, and then I added multi-clienting and unlimited zoom back in. Now it is almost perfect for what I was hoping for.

Thanks for the help. :)
