[Repoman]

Keen as

[crockerjc82]

i stil play, but what does everybody use to get online and play.

[Calthazar]

Gotta download LogMeIn Hamachi the join a network, to get started you should try dune122  password: 1

after that hopefully Sjleo can get you to sign in to one of the larger networks.  Theres also Tunngle but less people use that.  Also I think more people are starting to use MSN to communicate in addition to the Hamachi chat because MSN gives u a noise notification etc.  I'm sure you can figure all that out once you join the network.  Be aware people are on at all different times. The most popular times seem to be around 8am- 2PM Pacific Standard Time, and 11PM-2AM or so PST.  This is because the majority in the network right now are Russian.

I'll play. I can never seem to get online as it just sticks at Downloading Channels.

Voodoo,

Are you still thinking of bringing back the RA Server? I think a lot more players would play if you brought the server back.

If not, I have some old computers and servers from my office I can use if you could provide me with the instructions and the code to get it up and running.

Let me know,

Miles

The problem is not hardware, but thanks for the offer. I am still waiting for RA to send me the Binaries.

[erjin999]

What RA did was good, but not impossible to replicate. It turns out these games use IRC to communicate with the servers, so once the ins and outs are deciphered it was quick and easy for him to make the server.

If you dont have any luck with RA, it might be worth doing it yourselves.

Shame at the time he didnt publish his findings at the time.

[mordusxxx]

ive been playing alot of wow lately, tried getting on wow, but the cd i had was broken, dont know any torrents to download it from but would willing to come back and play if sendakon brought is nub FEW skills around =) hey everyone else sorry its been so long dropping in just real life things... kids, work, yeah anyways hope to see yah all soon

Are you still waiting?

[Voodoo Daddy]

Are you still waiting?

Yes I am. After the Holidays I will try to contact RA again.

[Gruntlord6]

Yes I am. After the Holidays I will try to contact RA again.

as a fall back plan, there are open source binaries available.

[cbrick]

I finally decided to play again, spent an hour getting it set up, then I see this, suck, I didn't read it all, but I think this means I have to play with myself?

If someone can give me contact info for RA, I will see if I can get a server set up.

i have his hotmail messenger addy, but havnt seen him there for ages :(

i doubt it will be difficult to set up the hardware somewhere. even i could ask a few ppl. but i dont know anyone who could set it up programing wise. at least not without money :)

[erjin999]

Hey Kalony, nice to see your still alive and kicking.

Hey all you lot. I came back a little while ago to see what was going on and it seems the server been down since april. I think I got that impression as a thread started around that time mentioning hamatchi or something. Either way, I realised it doesnt take more then a few days to get some binaries and email/upload/somehow pass them on if you are going to. RA was always a little hard to get hold of, bless him.

So, I just recently started making another server. Basic one, is the aim, where people can play with whatever serial they want (dont see EA complaining too much). Just a few drawbacks:

1 - I cant program well.

2 - I dont know the server protocol.

Well, cant do much about 1 except grab an example code and start hacking (ANSI C - I wanna learn ). With regards to 2 I have worked out most of that so far as logging in and hosting a game goes. I will publish that once I have the full protocol with comments, so should anyone else desire then they can try too,

How far have I got? A single player can connect and host a game, end the host, and logout. Not much good yet but it shows I am on the right path. My biggest challenge is learning C at the same time. C is a beach for string handling if you are used to higher level languages. Its also seriously confusing with no one to explain. Got my head around it all about 4 days ago and BAM! My laptop goes pop. So off it goes to manufacturer for repairs. Its back today and I will start work again in the next few days.

Estimated time to going live? No idea. I will work on this regularly so it shouldnt be too long, but there is a fair bit of logic to put in this damn thing and you do want it to not let just anyone login your nick, right? Dont want people impersonating you?

Of course, its better if RA pops up with the binaries. Lets hope he is saving it as a chrimbo pressie!

[Voodoo Daddy]

Hey Guys, I just emailed Ra about the Binaries. As soon as he responds I will let you know what he says. Nunu, If he sends me the Binaries I will email them to you straight away.

[Voodoo Daddy]

Good news! I was just contacted by Ra1024. Nunu, if you can get a box ready he will upload the binaries and set up the server! Let me know how you make out so I can update the getting online guide to reflect the new server address etc.
