I've been untethering old versions of Ace of Spades. It doesn't take long, although there might be weird stability issues.

0.35: zip (extract to a new folder)
0.52: msi (untampered) / server exe (fixed version)
UDP tunnel: tunsv (contains a few .bat files useful for 0.35 - run-tunsv starts the clientside tunnel program, host-tunsv starts the serverside tunnel program, run-aos runs AoS via the tunnel)

Versions newer than 0.52 (0.54 and up) do not need to be untethered.

IP calculation:

Given w.x.y.z:
(w)+(x<<8)+(y<<16)+(z<<24)
OR
(((z*256)+y)*256+x)*256+w

The latter should be doable on a classic 10-digit calc.

I threw this together to help with IP <=> AoS address calculations.

0.52 was the last version before the SMG was added

So, is it now possible to host .35 servers and connect via IP?
That was possible ages ago.

Yeah, but this doesn't require you to do WAMP/LAMP shit just to get an IP working.

And it's also in a convenient .zip so you don't have to fuck around with the stupid lameass installer.

It's possible to run the 0.35 on a Ubuntu VPS? I mean, do you have a pyspades version for this?

Yours Sincerely,

It allows localhost connections, but BR couldn't connect to me, and I couldn't connect to him or Sham..
The console says "Will create Server on 0:32887", which seems a little odd.. but either way, it isn't currently working.
Any chance of a fix?

It'll need some fairly serious debugging. You'd need some way of injecting code saying whenever the hell it receives a packet.

objconv.exe might help.

Alternatively, building a UDP tunnel wrapper toolset might work - client "connects" to localhost 32887, which "connects" to server 31035, which "connects" to server 32887. I'm looking into this now.
