[July 06, 2010, 04:42:27 PM] Elvio: hey krom how are you ? how's china

[July 06, 2010, 07:48:22 PM] C-D: which account do you mean? probably the one from netpanzer.info..but this forum/site(.org) has nothing to do with netpanzer.info....

[July 07, 2010, 02:37:00 PM] Elvio: oh yes ,  my account on netpanzer.info had been deleted by the hackers  or lohengrin . Don't know why   

[July 08, 2010, 04:26:07 PM] Elvio: does anyone know how to use the netpanzer dedicated server to create a server and amend the units reload tie 

[July 08, 2010, 08:00:22 PM] Elvio: how to transfer port 3030 to my machine ? 

[July 08, 2010, 09:20:29 PM] fu: Elvio you must access your modem/router control panel and look for "lan setup,nat, virtual server" or similar

[July 08, 2010, 09:21:24 PM] fu: look for "port forwarding" in Google and you'll find many examples

[July 09, 2010, 05:38:18 PM] Elvio: sorry Fu . I have searched many informations about the forwards port  thing , but it doesn't work on my pc , don't know what has happened . And  i don't know how to access to my modem / router control panel (i could but couldn't find the lan set up , 

[July 09, 2010, 05:38:35 PM] Elvio: since my OS is Window 7 , not linux

As svn version 1080 there is flag sharing in netpanzer. It is not a final version and there are some points that needs to know.

The server doesn't need to have flags now, it doesn't load them. The server will use whatever flag the clients send to it.

There is no checking for same flags (later) so, in this version can have several players with the same flag.

The protocol is not compatible with previous versions, if you update you won't be able to play on older netpanzer version nor will older netpanzer version be able to connect to your server.

In the configuration file, "playerflag" now is the flag file name (without path, example: "albania.bmp"), the file has to be in the flags folder and has to be 20x14 (not checked right now). If you plan to do your own flag, you have to know that the palette has to be the same as the other flags, otherwise the colors will be wrong. Also, not all the programs can make the bmp format that is supported by netpanzer, I don't remember very clear, "maybe" GIMP or mspaint can save the correct format.

Because the server allocates and releases the flags codes as the players connect, the flags that will be shown on the netpanzer server browsers will be wrong (Abitos should check if protocol version is > 1019 and in that case don't show flags).

I'm on a business trip and only have a laptop with windows, so I'm unable to test on linux or mac, nor test the compilation with "jam".

Thats all I can remember now.

very nice, iam testing it right now on an linux server..seems to working at least for me^^

In svn 1081 there is a fix for linux compilation, you may already have it.

It may have some crash, I created a server "Devil Test".

Ok, you can try now, is my fault.

In the instructions (in svn log) I said should do a "jam clean" and then "jam" to rebuild it. I didn't do the clean, and it was using some old values in half of the code, now (with recompilation of server) i can move without error.

[krom]

It is very important to do a full recompile

Code:

# jam clean
# jam

Otherwise will confuse game.

Is not it early to no longer be compatible with old Version?

For the moment I not change to 1080, no more server svn for play.

[krom]

Yes, little early maybe, but I see still people wants the flag sharing function.

I might make a windows test version so other players can test it too.

[wile64]

I have tried this,

Great job Krom
