Comment out the launcher lines, specifically.

If you know what you are doing, by all means uncomment, comment, change, do whatever you want. If you are a novice like me, I suggest leaving things as they are UNTIL you get things up and running.

As I said, nothing about 'em was changed; I just un-commented them to ensure that the defaults were being applied.


It seems that the server itself is working, as two people with working clients joined it, which led to World.exe printing a bunch of stuff on the command line, unlike when I tried to join with the Steam client.

I don't wish to argue semantics. Try putting the comments back to ensure the defaults are actually used instead of the examples given in those lines.

If zone is not working noone will be able to get in game. Everything you have appears to be fine up to this point.

The lads joined after I posted the copy-pastes from CMD. I'll go host in the hopes that a lad or two will join, to show what World.exe outputs.

Sounds good. I'll log in if I can see it.

Oh, tah cap'n. The name is some pseudo-German gibberish. "Barannach Messersink Fabrenast"

Edit: Alrighty, found that you joined. Here's what World.exe posted:

When I joined, using the Steam Client, I was greeted with a blackscreen, and World.exe just posted "New connection from", and none of that other stuff.

Yes, that was me.

Feel free to delete that char.

I didn't notice anything unusual about the process so, it seems you are fine to login and create an agnostic human warrior out of Qeynos.

You have an extra line

You'll notice random logins from time to time if you restart the server frequently. This is due to something with the client when they try to choose the same server they had previously played on. When I saw this at first I thought it was like "field of dreams". In reality it's not.

Alrighty, so the server works at last. The guide needs to be updated, methinks.

Now I've just got to get a hold of the RoF2 client. The latest Steam client isn't compatible, Titanium doesn't really like my computer, and my copy of Ruins of Kunark is old, scratched, cracked and beaten.
