Looking like everything goes nice: i can play on my server, my friends can play there either through Internet. Its time for last (he-he, you also didnt believe me?) cosmetic tough.

While logging-in, and while shard selection, i can see two lines:


Firs one works fine,i click there and i'm in the game.
But second one stops everything, and in Sphere i see

Quote:WARNING:9:Unknown game packet (0x46) received.

Where they are from? Well, firs one is from the very beginning of sphere.ini, second one is from the end:

Quote:[SPHERE]
// Name of your Sphere shard
ServName=UO Templars
// The IP of your server, this will be 127.0.0.1 almost always
ServIP=127.0.0.1
// The port of your server, this is 2593 by default
ServPort=2593

********

[SERVERS]
Templars Shard
uotemplars.hopto.org
2593

//External
//my.ip.goes.here
//2593

[EOF]

Still didnt tested, but looking like only second one works for my friends to join me.

What are recommendations on this field?

Just comment the following lines:

[SERVERS]
//Templars Shard
//uotemplars.hopto.org
//2593

Also for stable sphere use following settings:

// Number of network threads. Clients are distributed evenly amongst each thread. Set to 0 to not
// use a separate networking thread.
NetworkThreads=0

// Use asynchronous data sends (changing this setting at runtime may produce unexpected behaviour)
// 0 = Off
// 1 = On
// 2 = On for 4.0.0+ game clients only
UseAsyncNetwork=0


// Prioritise outgoing packets (provides a smoother experience in crowded areas)
UsePacketPriority=0

Use different ports for each one, you can forward the port 2594 for the second

2 Shaklaban:
I commented [SERVERS] part, so now i have only second option "UO Templars". After trying to login there, i got "WARNING:9:Unknown game packet (0x46) received." on the server side, and endless waiting on the client side.

What about threads: some years ago i found pretty cool article on codeproject.com about server dynamic threads management.. i spent about hour, trying to find it (on the site, and on my HDD, i definitely saved it), but no results right now. I think, it could be usefull, i'll continue my search a little later.

2 Valios:
Hm.. can i make only 1, which would be working for me and for friends?

also have the problem with the 2 server.
first one people can connect and the second one they can´t (but I do not need the second one).
when I comment out theline, the second one is showing on the login page (but as I said, I don´t need it )

Post: #6

the simple way is to on f_onserver_start
serv.ip =<external_ip>

the all will connect to same shard

Post: #7

Same here. Now i commented [SPHERE] part. (Didnt want to do it, because i thought, it is critical for server).

This time, i see "Templars Shard" and "Sphere". Looking like, second name is default one.

So, is it possible to have only one line for everybody?

I found f_onserver_start in sphere_serv_triggers.scp, now its looking like

Then i changed Sphere.ini to

Sphere doesn't launch.

Now i return back


And got warning

USE SERV.SERVIP=

lol of course external ip is the ip you got when you connect to internet.

the one that is resolved on uotemplars.hopto.org

maybe you can try also with

SERV.SERVIP=uotemplars.hopto.org

don't use <external_ip> but your ip 88.114.89.161 or uotemplars.hopto.org

Post: #9

Ah xD
I thought, it would be found by itself

---

Yep, it works

SOLUTION: in sphere_serv_triggers.scp, add

Post: #10

Probably, not only that is needed. Also, i found this

So i also added

I expected it it solve my world save problem, but it didnt help
