Switching world off port 9000?

[Wiz]

I'm running my server on a host where port 9000 isn't open (the firewall), and I'm rather incapable of getting hold of the person who can modify this at the moment, resulting in "Lost connection to patch server" error.

Is there any way to switch the worldserver port?

recompile the world server...

I'll give it a shot. My knowledge of C++ is close to nil though. :p

It's hard-coded in the client. You're screwed.

ack i didn't know it was client side.
i've barely touched any of the code other then login, and zone.
looked at the world code, and old chat code a little but...???
so, what happened to the chat server???
