Changing world port

provocating · #1 07-21-2009, 01:49 PM

I can seem to get multiple worlds to attach to the private login server but here is where it seems to get tricky. Can you actually change the port of world.exe ? From what I read on a previous post it uses port 9000 and cannot change. This means that I cannot have multiple servers behind one router correct
?

I know there's a setting in the config file, but i don't know if it's actually used or not.

Code:

<!-- Sets the ip/port for the tcp connections.  Both zones and console (if enabled).  Defaults are shown -->

<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="enable"/>

I had thought that someone said it was hard coded in. Can anyone confirm ?

I did find this.

a quick search of the source code and i found

Code:

#define EQ_WORLD_PORT 9000        //mandated by the client

which probably means that it is hardcoded. now that i think about it i do remember hearing that it was hardcoded. whether that has changed or not, i don't know.

If the client looks for it in port 9000 I am stuck in the water anyway I guess. Is my thinking right on that ?
