Server Development Help
Posted: Fri Jun 12, 2015 10:39 pm
I was directed to this forum from the IRC on the War-Emu site, so I hope I'm in the right place.
I've successfully made and launched a server on the localhost, a fairly straightforward process which I am extremely grateful for. The developers of War-Emu are an amazing bunch. I've run into a few issues that I need help resolving, however.
The first issue is: How do I make the server available to my friends? I've noticed that the launcher automatically searches for localhost, and there does not seem to be an option to change that. RoR uses a separate launcher, I assume in part to fix this?
I've considered using a third party program such as hamachi to attempt to circumvent this but I'd prefer if there was another option. The reason I want to have our own server for this is we intend to use it as a roleplaying server and we would like to set up our characters and customize them to our liking without a grind.
The second issue: Assuming I can get them onto the server, I've noticed that chat does not seem to work on the localhost server. No player-input messages show up in chat, I've changed the filters so it's clearly server-side not client.
Thirdly: The gm command .add item does not appear to work, though because I don't have a working chat log I can't tell if this is input error on my end or a problem with the server. The account has gm level 3, and the world seems to be fairly stable outside of the chat issue.
Fourth: NPCs don't spawn in Altdorf, I haven't checked the Chaos city yet, but I went to the market figuring I'd buy items to at least get my character set up and there was no npcs in the City. Additionally gates were down all across the city effectively cutting off most of it.
I would greatly appreciate any help, and thank you in advance.
