The "LAN" mode allows players to join over the Internet for some reason.
The downtime for XWIS is just ridiculous, when was the last time the GameSpy master list was down?

If someone would write third party software to connect to a WOL master server and handle everything that would be great
|
I actually made a backup XWIS server for Roleplay 2 so when XWIS does go down it does not affect our operations. Its actually very easy for any mildly skilled programmer to make a fake xwis server that renegade will accept. I wrote a documentary on the roleplay 2 forums on how to do it but Jerad deleted it and never made a backup copy of it.
I was able to contact one of my servers to get the source code. Heres an XWIS Emulator that will allow your FDS to start and load along with accepting connections from a IP Address and port (unlike lan, gamespy).
XWIS Server Emulator (ALPHA)
http://brandanlasley.com/releases/WOL/XWIS%20Server%20Emulator.zip
This is the first public test of this application and I would like to know the results from it. It may or may not work since its still a unstable version. Please note that this is not a WOLProxy as soon as XWIS Resumes operations in order to be listed once again on XWIS you have to close the application this will not transmit FDS code to XWIS!
Directions:
1. Close FDS
2. Extract application anywhere.
3. Open application
4. Run FDS
Not tested on 4.0!
(on some computers you may need to make sure that hosts file has write access and you run the program as administrator!)
It should be ever server owners right to enjoy free uninterrupted XWIS service.

How would you get new players to join the new XWIS? Or would they be joining the old? Not sure how it works, but if it involves splitting the community then don't do it. Not that many players look at these forums and wont know what settings they need to join any new XWIS's.

Can be easily done, but you're right about splitting the community in two. I already made a replica of the xwis server (posted in other thread) and I've studied xwis for 2 years and pretty much have it covered if anyone needs help just ask.

It's just a way to join a server. All xwis clones could just fill up the same servers.

Doesnt make sense, but what I think you're trying to say is it wont have the same function as XWIS. I guess later on ill make a backup XWIS server (like WOLProxy) that has a modfied WOLAPI.dll so when you lose connection to XWIS it will drop FDS and the Renegade Client on to a backup XWIS until normal XWIS is restored. But this server would have to be hosted on a dedicated server with a dedicated ip.

How can you "study" XWIS for 2 years and still make mistakes like "Winodws" "Westwod". This would make me think there are a lot of mistakes in the rest of your code as well.
|
I don't fix typos as an actual bug. It doesn't effect the way the application runs and no compiler has a spell check I've known that for quite some time. Also how can you say there's mistakes in the code itself when it's closed source. Of course it has some issues since I compiled 2 of the same servers into one application in 30 minutes. Don't like it don't use it.

It just makes the way you work seem messy. It doesn't matter that it's closed source, when someone doesn't take the time to re-read their own code for spelling mistakes it could make people assume they haven't paid much attention to the rest of the application either.
|
Or paid more attention to the rest of the code in general. The Westwood and spelling errors were done by my laziness and poorly using the "replace all" and made a typo. I believe I fixed those issues that picture was from half a year ago I didn't want to upload another one. Yes, it's also poorly coded and doesn't meet my quality control checks but it works just fine on our servers and I felt that it worked good enough to help other people
Taking the time to reread 5000 lines of code and GUI code each time I publish it doesn't sound fun. It was a rush job yes I agree on that.

Xwis is *NOT* a free service. To play on it you need valid serials that you have paid for or an Xwis account that they sell for a ridiculous 10 €.

Appears like it. The server is actually up but a SYN is answered with RST-ACK. Whoever is doing it is doing a damn fine job so far.

He only cares about the money not the community. If you really want to waste your time then mail him at olafvdspek@gmail.com. He will read and if you're lucky he'll also reply with a one-liner, you can send him some nice regards from myself too.

VB.NET apps are hardly closed source. Stuff seems legit though, good job. Alternatives to Xwis are always welcome.
I don't know st0rm but I sure as hell sympathise with them. I've been both permanently banned from S-T before with false warn-log entries by an admin and from the game as well for a totally ridiculous reason with no proof disclosed by them whatsoever. The way Xwis "the official server" is treating the community they really don't deserve to have one and they certainly don't deserve to be running these games either. It's no wonder these attacks are only increasing and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the end of Xwis or may be it soon.

Also the server isn't being ddosed unless it's poorly executed because the server still answers ping requests at reasonable reply time. Unless the irc server itself was shutdown/partly dosed/or someone just doesn't want people to connect.
Shit iPhone double replied instead of edited, my bad.

The fuck is this 'Alex' guy talking about?
Does the WOL server emulator only emulate the connection to WOL itself? That's pretty interesting.
|
It allows connections on port 4003,4005.
Port 4005 is a list of servers available for the xwis.
Port 4003 does the actual xwis work.
It replies to the FDS requests makes and over all tries to make FDS happy with not running on XWIS. If the hosts file doesn't work I can always send to a modified WOLAPI.dll
