dedicated server

[blondandy]

I thought i might leave a dedicated server up.

the dedicated server console just stops responding (well, it displays, but never starts responding).

2.2.1 installer
win xp sp2

I thought the Windows dedicated server was broken. Did you test to see if your server is actually running?

[blondandy]

i just started ufo_ded again. (still went to "not responding").

started client on same machine. my server did not appear in the server list. attempted to connect using IP address, got server unreachable.

so unless the way i tested it was wrong, i think i can say that ufo_ded is broken in my installation.

Like I said, it's broken. It's been broken for a long time.

the ufo dedicated server console input seams to be broken - some windows coder should have a look here maybe.

looks like trunk ufo_ded is not as bad as 2.2.1 ufo_ded, and it id not just windows with problems. from IRC

[09:11:14]   <trylegaldownload>   hey did someone know why the run a server from debs don't work?
[09:15:59]   <blondandy>   do you mean that the dedicated server, ufo_ded, does not work?
[09:17:05]   <trylegaldownload>   blondandy: i only could run a ufo_ded server from the svn dir ... but not from a debs-package
[09:26:14]   <trylegaldownload>   i have to go, but i let a dedicate server running ^^
[09:26:18]   <trylegaldownload>   bye bye
[09:26:24]   |<--   trylegaldownload has left freenode ("Leaving.")
[09:42:53]   <blondandy>   hmm... on windows. ufo_ded does not work from 2.2.1 installer, but does work from trunk (allowing for an unrelated map problem i have 73/74 thing mentioned yesterday by someone).

i would like to look at this.

i am currently enjoying map optimising too much, though.
