Attention: Please Read, this is important!
« on: June 30, 2004, 05:07:26 am »
I've just spent the last six hours getting the directory servers to run.  And it was pure hell too.  Oh well, what is my torment to your enjoyment, eh?  :D

To get your copy of SFC2 back running, please do the following:

Open your

C:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates\MetaAssets\ServerProfiles\Multiplayer\

folder.  In it there is a file called WONServerSetup.gf.  Edit this with a text editor, preferably Notepad.

Make the following changes to this file:

[WONDirectoryServer/Addresses]
0="63.101.60.125:15101"
//0="sfc2.west.won.net:15101"
//1="sfc2.central.won.net:15101"
//2="sfc2.east.won.net:15101"

Save the file and your ready to enjoy SFC2:OP in all it's glory and splendor.

People running servers will also need to make a change as well, as follows:

Open your folder containing your server, navigate through your Assets\Server Profiles\_CentralSwitchPlusAllServers\ directories, find ServersSetup.gf, and make the following changes:

[WONDirectoryServer/Addresses]
0="63.101.60.125:15101"
//0="sfc2.west.won.net:15101"
//1="sfc2.central.won.net:15101"
//2="sfc2.east.won.net:15101"

Save the file.  Your server is now able to launch.

I ask a moderator or administrator sticky this post to the top, as it is vital to get your game back running.

Thanks!

Also,

when you get to the text file named:  WonServerSetup, right click it and choose properties.
It will probably be checked "read only".  Uncheck this box and choose "apply".
Then make the modifications to the file.   ;)

Thanks Elf, that did the trick, great work.

For other idiots like me I opened the folder, renamed the old file. Then opened it again in notepad deleted the section described by Elf, and pasted in the new section from the post. Then saved the amended file back with the original name and .gf extension. Worked first time.

Thanks agin Elf, good job.

 I have little to no computer skills. I don't know the first thing about opening files or changing them.
 I would love to join a fleet and get on the Dyna 2.
 But this has me stymied completely. Does anybody have any suggestions? :smackhead: :help: :help: :help:

Maybe Pestalence could throw together a quick installer/patch to do the job when he gets a chance?

The slashes just make those lines comments, right?  Can't we just lose those lines altogether??

This is good. Very good.
Now here's a question: is there a way to have Taldren contact won.net and have them change the DNS entries for the directory servers to point to that IP address? Could someone take care of that?

.. That would ensure that newbies and players who don't frequent these forums much to be able to play with us all the time.
