This works just fine:

You can't use the same 'account' that you would use local loginserver as you would public login, you can't double dip right now and can't link the two together so you have to pick either or.

THF runs a "double dipping" setup, or at least used to. Maybe that is why people are attempting to emulate that behavior. Just a guess.

I can write up a solution for it, that's not the issue.

What I'm saying right now is you are under the following contraints:

When you login with a LAN loginserver account 'eqisawesome', that creates an entry in the same accounts table that a public login with 'eqisawesome' does so you will get duplicate and confliction and they are not linked the same at all.

You can however, use 'eqisawesome' locally and use a different account from the public direction but you have to login as those methods each team and cannot currently link the two.

The reason I set it up was for folks who only want to play LAN setups so they'd have the offline option.

If you're going to have your server public you might as well just use the public loginserver cause that is what it is there for.

Failover is always a good option to have though.

In-case one day the loginserver goes down (We've never seen that before).
