SphereCommunity

I FINALLY got sphere running tonight after fighting with this warning for a long time:

WARNING:
This is a nightly build of SphereServer. This build is to be used
for testing and/or bug reporting ONLY. DO NOT run this build on a
live shard unless you know what you are doing!
Nightly builds are automatically made every night from source and
might contain errors, might be unstable or even destroy your
shard as they are mostly untested!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR:Please write AGREE=1 in Sphere.ini file to acknowledge that
you understand the terms of use for nightly builds.
FATAL:Server terminated: Failed to load server settings (code -3)


Could you please change:
"ERROR:Please write AGREE=1 in Sphere.ini file to acknowledge that you understand the terms of use for nightly builds."

To:
"ERROR:Please write AGREE=1 in the [SPHERE] section of sphere.ini file to acknowledge that you understand the terms of use for nightly builds."

It took me FOREVER to figure that one out.

Code:

[SPHERE]
AGREE=1 // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
// Name of your Sphere shard
ServName=Legendary
// 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

Yeah, I FINALLY figured that out... The error says to add it to "Sphere.ini" so I put it at the top (outside the [sphere] block). When it didn't work, I restarted several times, re-copied sphere.ini several times. Made a new file named "Sphere.ini" (instead of "sphere.ini"). I even tried older versions of spheresvr.


If the devs would just clarify that in the ERROR: people in the future wouldn't go through the same hell. I couldn't find squat in the wiki or forums on that error.
