Build and Shoot

Hello, I've been playing AoS since update 0.47. I love the game, but I miss the old days (rifle only, black ironsights, no autoclimb, etc.). I still have the original .47 install program, but I want to make a server. Every time I try this, the game tells me that it is having trouble retrieving the ip address. I've already port forwarded. Any ideas?

Also, get objconv.exe from here, and disassemble the server.exe: http://www.agner.org/optimize/
Make sure you have a good text editor with a search function. vim is excellent, but you're probably not used to that.

If it refuses to work properly, try running a UDP tunnel into your server with this (they will appear as localhost players): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32094129/tunsv.zip

By the way, remember to back up your server.exe. There's a fair chance you'll cock it up.

Have fun!

I think I've figured it out. I got on the archived version of the old forums and found a discussion on this very topic. It turns out that the game used to use a certain website to find the player's external ip. That website is no longer functioning, so version .47 is pretty much useless.

I patched up the .47 server executable for you to work with our master server as well as fix the IP getter,

Just throw it in your .47 directory and run it like normally.
