Gobalopper Posted June 13, 2003 Author Share Posted June 13, 2003 Ok quick update. Olaf has sent me the code for the ladder server and I've been able to compile it on my computer. Still have to work out a few bugs with sending reports though. Thanks to Apollyon, Blade1911, DjCiD, and Vilgent for helping out in the tests. Hopefully we will have some sort of ladder running this weekend.And no there won't be any freeloaders because you would still log into WOL to play games.

Gobalopper Posted June 13, 2003 Author Share Posted June 13, 2003 Ok guys I need some test data for the ladder. All you need to do is extract the exe from this zip and have it running in the background while you play Emperor. It should do all the work for you. Let me know if it gives any errors.And Vilgent replace the one I sent you earlier with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted June 13, 2003 Author Share Posted June 13, 2003 Hmm so the program screen didn't output any text when your game added? Make sure its a WOL game, this doesn't work on skirmishes.You can always check your hosts file to make sure that line is there, the program should add it but it might not always work.The hosts file should be:C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchostsMine looks something like this:# Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.## This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.## This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one# space.## Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.## For example:## 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host127.0.0.1 localhost127.0.0.1 games2.westwood.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjCiD Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 So How do we do this? Thru the QM option? I'm so confused? Am I dreaming or did you say something about if both players don't have the program it wouldn't report right? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted June 13, 2003 Author Share Posted June 13, 2003 Only one person needs to have it but both can have it as well. And you can play custom games or BC games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjCiD Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 hmmm hey gobbie look at this... ???Sard, myself and two other enjoyed a massice all out war, I was hoping to have a good report. But as you can see...

Nyarlathotep Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Gob, have you considered asking EAP to help you guys out here ? I seriously doubt they'll have a problem with you guys setting up a server similar to WOL and with it a ladder (they basicly already have fans making their own ladders with the new games).

XTF Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 You could also try http://xccu.sourceforge.net/utilities/XCL_Proxy.zip It forwards results to XCL: http://xccu.sourceforge.net/xcl/The order in which apps are started doesn't really matter.

Has anyone been able to run the program and not get that error message?Not sure if it will make a difference but try this version of the program instead of the one I posted earlier.
