with my clients, you can actualy run dedicated host, it just lacks the no gui version
about the limit, i'll look at the script file and see what's wrong

What do you mean?
I don't find the option do dop that? How can i run it as dedicated?
Thanks for your client

[altaric]

it's not realy dedicated, a bot does all the work as if it was $you$
you still have control over everything, ppl use commands like !metal 1234 and the bot sets the metal to 1234 (!help to see the working commands)

[Dr.InfernO]

very good altaric, I'll try it till I'm back from work.
Can every player give commands to this hosting-bot?
I mean if every player can do it it will bring chaos to the host.

I was stupid, it's probably a lot less work to separate the GameServer (GameServer.cpp) from the rest of the code if you want a dedicated server.

[Dr.InfernO]

really? How much work is it?

[Tobi]

In man-hours?

Anyway, I can't say it exactly because I don't know how many variables from the rest of the code are used in GameServer.cpp, and how hard each variable is to emulate when separating the GameServer code from the rest of the code.

But to give a rough estimate: If you know what you're doing I think you can get a working dedicated server in approx. 4-8 hours happy hacking

"4-8 hours happy hacking"
hehe

I think I'll try to use it with the given functions for this time.

[altaric]

why not make a "clean" version ?
of course it would take precious devs time but it would add lots more professionalism :)

[Tobi]

THat's a goal.

See http://home.casema.nl/vollebregt/junk/s ... n-0.20.pdf for what I proposed a while ago.

[altaric]

Cool :)
do you have an ETA ?

[Dr.InfernO]

tomorow would be pretty fine! *jokeing*
