Running a game server?
Re: Running a game server?
Since this is one of the few points of activity I'll post this here.
I want to play multiplayer, but have nobody to do so with. If there are some of you regularly playing can you give me some times/dates etc?

Re: Running a game server?
So I dont think a master server is feasable. You are required to run a server program like Unity etc, that would then require server files to be manually installed because the game is so old. The odds of getting it to run are low, let alone having it stable. Newwer games are auto load for server files, and so much easier, even Steam support etc.

Just a though - maybe we should create e-mail newsletter with list of planned games, so it'll reach much more potential players?AXE wrote:Wednesday 10 pm GMT for 1 hr

Do not follow where the path may lead - go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Re: Running a game server?
Best way to create a newsletter is for it to be emailed to all members of the forum (please note only an admin can do this) so if you want to put one together I can send it out via the forum. It would have to be plain text format.

Re: Running a game server?
I think what Shelim meant is we can direct the subdomains to the server IP addresses, example, Axe.drakan.eu is your server mage.drakan.eu is my server ip etc etc.AXE wrote:Not sure whats involved with running a master server, but the addy you have would definately be good Thanks for offering , we just might do this!
That way people can type those names into drakan and it SHOULD in theory redirect them to our server Ip's via his domain

Re: Running a game server?
K, so those domains would then be written into the config line for master server lists; or just a server ip for "Axe.drakan.eu. interesting!
Whats Shelim say!

Re: Running a game server?
Correct, providing Drakan and/or the gamespy master server can send the text address through DNS (or whatever means) properly to get a numerical response. It's a most common way of connecting to multiplayer servers now a day. RAther than memorizing IP's you just remember a subdomain, which tends to be easierAXE wrote:K, so those domains would then be written into the config line for master server lists; or just a server ip for "Axe.drakan.eu. interesting!

Re: Running a game server?
Mage150 is correct, you can use domains instead of IP in Drakan "join game" window

Re: Running a game server?
435? Isn't that the very first version of Drakan? No idea why would you want to run it unless you like bugs.
