This suggest a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose. What game server are you thinking to use this with? PT uses MS-SQL and (usually) IIS. To put it analogously: You use Sage accounts, with it's integrated financial reporting systems linked into Microsoft Word and Excel, (as it does)...

Hi chaps. It's been quiet in here for a while, but I've got something of an announcement to make to you all. Today, I have requested that I be resigned from moderator status. I've been moderating this section for several years now, and it's going to be tough to leave. I've laid out my most...

Intrinsically. -.- As in... That's just how they work by default, because their code is the same.

With skill, whit, cunning and 1337 sk1llz. ;) Without knowing what code you're using we can't help. There are some threads here about patching some of the common holes in example code that's hosted in many of our releases though? Additionally, the more varied everyones' code-base is, the more...

Yea, You must be registered for see element. is so valuable now, I have stickied it to the top. It's usually pretty close anyway, but sticking it seems to highlight stuff a bit too. Thanks danilobk and mit1mit2. (original author and list maintainer) One could almost make "thread=969935" a...

Added to You must be registered for see element. (at least, I think that's the right one) and attached file to OP. Thanks again jwpatser.

Originality is key. I really like developments which open an API for modifications. Essentially, source code should be the best form, but it often isn't. Source code is often so messy you have to re-write most of it to put in the smallest change, where you can patch in a DLL to the compiled code...

Thanks for letting us know. :)

Have you tried copying those files to a folder on local port 80 server and using Start > Run "notepad.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts" with added line:- 127.0.0.1 69.64.48.165 In some situations, DNS will resolve the hostname 96.64.48.165, before looking for it as a raw IP, in...

Full client is release, Test client is open Beta. The Korean server run a rolling test server and client, it gets reset every so often I believe, so the players can prat about with new stuff on there, but better not worry about building up epic loot and such. There are more bugs, but also the...

Re: Could possibly be the greatest movie ever created? Yea, I'm with Vendaku... it's definitely gonna be the greatest (piss take) of all time. ;) I love the way they've paid attention to the chroma skew everything had in the '80s. I was there, and remember that far more than SD analogue...

All of the first paragraph is explained elsewhere on this forum. Please search. :p You can spawn copies of aged items saved from your drop item logs, but I guess you know that. You can't create them out of nothing. You have to modify the ageing failure rate table (correctly, a switch-case...

I don't remember the included server having those custom rPT maps included. If I'm right in that then; Where did you get them from, and how did you integrate them into your server and client?

Hamachi (now re-branded LogMeIn) is a CPU intensive, software based, Virtual Private Network. It creates a virtual LAN accross the internet by wrapping the TCP/IP protocol stream inside an encrypted data stream which is then transmitted over the public TCP/IP network we know as "the internet"...

If the DLL was not specific to client or server, that would certainly make things easier. Just make sure you import the same DLL into both. However, since the offsets are different... Syncing between the two is the point where people usually slip up. It's easy to do, even if you know exactly...
