Spring RTS Engine

I was wondering how you configure the spring lan server to have accounts to log into , keep track of playtime and just other random things. Does anyone know how to do this?

I'm interested in this too. I took at look at the readme for TASServer in the SVN, but I saw no option to set up a full server with account support. It seems the default is lan mode, but doesn't provides the command to change this.

don't run with -lan, and include an accounts.txt

Ok thanks peet, but what about setting up admin privileges etc...

the long string of 1s and 0s in the user's entry in accounts.txt...either check Account.java or set it to all 1s

Great thanks, you might want to update the readme to include this.

Nevar, the cryptic path of configuring tasserver serves as a test to determine who is worthy to run one

The next task: get ChanServ running. You get to trace the calls to the xml parser!

Everyone else: o crap....

You can set it in the lobby. But beware, you still need to do number system conversions and bitwise ands!

(getaccountaccess and changeaccountaccess commands, IIRC)

Hard to do that without an admin account initially though

Ah true, typical bootstrap problem

Well I couldn't get the accounts working and then after running it a couple of times it started crashing:

I have another question now, when I host a game on a lan server, the computer trying to join the game is always desynced.

Why is nobody helping? Its been like 2 days since I asked about the desync problem

Make sure the contents of the mods folder and the base folder are the same.

Ah thanks, that worked.

could you post a sample accounts.txt file?
Also how did you get around the JDBC problem?
Thanks!

Can't remember what any of the stuff after ZZ is, doesn't really matter afaik; just copypasta and change the username and password (which is a base64 encoded md5 hash of the password entered in tasclient).

Uh that code is what goes in the accounts file?

Yes. Though of course you replace Peet with the desired admin username, and passwordgoeshere with the desired password.
