I second that motion to have a datestamp next to server output. Maybe also have it output to a log file. I would like that. SOmething like this
11:30:00- Starting autobootup of 'qeynos2' for Aalin
11:30:02- Zoneserver SetZone: 192.168.0.10:7997 qeynos2
11:30:03- Enter world: Aalin: qeynos2
11:30:05- Zoneserver SetZone: 192.168.0.10:7997 qeynos2
12:02:48- Client disconnected
12:02:48- Removing client from ip:24.91.90.68 port:3690
14:30:52- New TCP connection: 127.0.0.1:33259
14:30:03- TCP console authenticated: Username=*****, Admin=200
14:31:12- TCP command: eqemu: "who all"
15:45:13- Zoneserver SetZone: 192.168.0.10:7997
15:45:13- Zoneserver SetZone: 192.168.0.10:7997
15:45:15- TCP connection timeout: 127.0.0.1:33259
15:46:16- Removing console from ip: 127.0.0.1 port:33259
Woulnt that be easy to do? I am just an amatuer programmer but isnt there a built-in date command?
On a side note, THere is a strange bug where I vreate a character on my linux dedicated server and it doesnt work. My eqclient crashes whever i try to connect with that first char. seemingly independent of race/class, however when i create a second character on the same account and server i can play the second char. just fine. (the first still doesnt work)
I've read why you cannot publish the source to the login server, but howabout one for Linux, in source, with the encryption removed, a server that just disregards passwords, or accepts blank passwords and hands the client over to the server. Ya know, something just for private lan use. I use only linux and setting up a login server on another windows machine is clumsy and i can't keep it up 24/7 like i would be able to; a linux server.
Maybe it can use ip's to keep track of accounts if its not possible to somehow not use encryption and make it work. Something to help the private lan community out ya know?
Best of Luck, Eric
