The lobby server simply listens on various ports the IP it binds to is whatever is available on your system. You need to be sure that if you have any anti-virus' or firewalls running, that you have allowed the lobby server access to the internet/network. For Windows Firewall, it is as simple as just...

You probably did not set the proper IPs in the zone settings table then.

Be sure that you have set the external IP as your zone ip's in the database (zone_settings). Also be sure that all the servers are added to your firewall exception list to allow outside connections to connect to the servers.

I made a post somewhere on the forums that includes a function to do this already. function get_server_status() { $socket = null; if (!$socket = @fsockopen( "127.0.0.1", 54230, $errno, $errstr, 1 )) return false; @fclose( $socket ); return true; } Don't forget to cleanup the socket you opened.

Wait, you can now spawn in any zone, not just the zone the mob is bound to? how? We are making use of a special table in the game client to handle it. Inside of the client there is a map of memory called the NPCMAP. This area of memory holds all the entities in the game of the current zone. This ar...

Compression Table Initialization These are the functions that handle creating the compression table for handling the zlib compression that we mimic in DSP. (zlib.cpp etc.) This function handles preparing the inventory structure as well as initializes the zlib compression table. char __cdecl sub_100...

There is no real set 'solo' settings that we have / know. It's more of your own choice to setup what values you feel are appropriate for you. Keep some things in mind when you are making the choices for each setting though, such as: - Experience rate : How fast do you want yourself to level? Do you ...

Figured sharing this may help resort to someone making a better zlib implementation than what we are currently using. Currently the implementation is fairly thrown together and kind of sketchy in some instances, and in a lot of cases can lead to the packet/key issues etc. So if someone is bored and ...
