Moving gamed to another computer
Well as the title suggests, I am trying to move my gamed to another computer.
I am havving a little bit of trouble with this. From what I can understand, you need to change /etc/hosts so that game 1 (forget the exact name) points to the ip address of the comp you want to run the gamed on as game 1 is what the maps seem to poin towards in gs.conf and that file gs.conf points to (i forget the name but its in the same dir) Then I believe you have to change gmserver.conf so that he gamd up is that of the comp you want to run gamed on.
I cannot seem to ge working after that, have I done something wrong so far? Where i might be going wrong is the comp I want to host gamed on, I have it set up as a normal pwserver, are there things that shouldnt be running or should gamed be in a directory other than /PWServer/gamed?
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great, I know it can be done, has been done, and isnt overly complicated to do...
Cheers

Re: Moving gamed to another computer
Nothing to do with gs.conf, it's gmserver.conf that makes the gamed connect to the other services. Just edit the IPs inside that file.
Btw It's a security risk cuz anyone that know your services ports can access to your server also. I suggest to change the ports of your other services before making that.

Not if it's on a LAN. (Another reason why I love EC2 for all my server hosting needs)

Of course, it's not applicable for a LAN :P:

Its just lan, a second wired router to be precise...
What about /etc/hosts
And what about the server I am hosting gamed on?

If you don't feel like setting up /etc/hosts on like 500 different servers on your LAN just setup BIND with Webmin (if you don't know how to do it manually) and put all the hostnames there with proper LAN IP addresses then add that servers IP address to the top of your DNS servers list and have it forward all unknown hostnames to whatever your ISP's DNS servers are.
