A major problem

[xpurex]

Dear Ragezoners,

I have a problem. I can connect to my server when using these files:

Final release by DarkKnightH2O + -KPT-Endless-Tower-Update-V2.2.exe + any 1871 client.

I can't connect when using these files:

Final release by DarkknightH2O + CxPT.exe, 4060.exe or any other server.exe + any 1871 client.

I Don't know what is wrong with my server, since i can connect with the kpt endless tower...exe from shagpub.

I am running my server localhost (at the moment), and i have opened ports 10007 and 10009. Could anyone explain me what I'm doing wrong?

Its driving me crazy >.<

Thanks in Advance

Are you sure you're using a game.exe who is version 1871, because you cant use for example quantumfusions v1873 clinet.
Anyway, just make sure you're using the same game.exe as server.exe.
But post your hotuk.ini from your serverfiles in here, there could be a version who are changed as draco13 says.
By the way, dont forget to change to 127.0.0.1 in the ldata file where you could find in image in your gamefolder. + in registry and in the PtReg.txt file. If you haven't done this before could it be a reason why you cant connect.

it has nothing to do with your hotuk or files. and everything to do with the server.exe in this case its CxPT
i use CxPT to play on my server and its completely fine. i use QF's client to connect. the only thing i changed was the ports. you jus gotta hex it and change it to what you want. im not going to take credit for this fix because i didnt find this out myself. all credits go to the original person who posted the research results.

these are the hex values for the ports server and client side

C07540A000C48B0084C074375768 - client
83C40C85C0740850685CA48400FFD7B8 - server

1927 is the original hex values for the ports which = 10009 (ports)

As long as you make sure that the next 4 digits after the C07540A000C48B0084C074375768 (client) 83C40C85C0740850685CA48400FFD7B8 (server) are the same on both client and server you should be fine and should be able to connect...

for examample.. the CxPT client and server values look like this

C07540A000C48B0084C0743757680318 - client
83C40C85C0740850685CA48400FFD7B80318 - server

Hope that explains things... and i hope you guys can understand it. Cuz i dont speak noob. lol

(Btw im really good friends with Ryder.. aka Superman666 and the 0318 = his birthday)

Thats my reaserch on ports.

Me and Superman666 (Ryder) worked on this together. So thank him aswell... Hes retiring now though and prolly wont see him much.

Also this method of changing ports was used to keep people from stealing our clients and using them on there servers. But i guess thats screwed now.. its okay though because we pack all of our stuff like twice.. so no one can steal our stuff haha.

Credits go to PearlPT, and Superman666 (Ryder)
