Changing world port

nosfentora · #1 07-21-2009, 02:53 PM

I know there's a setting in the config file, but i don't know if it's actually used or not.

Code:

<!-- Sets the ip/port for the tcp connections.  Both zones and console (if enabled).  Defaults are shown -->

<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="enable"/>

I had thought that someone said it was hard coded in. Can anyone confirm ?

I did find this.

a quick search of the source code and i found

Code:

#define EQ_WORLD_PORT 9000        //mandated by the client

which probably means that it is hardcoded. now that i think about it i do remember hearing that it was hardcoded. whether that has changed or not, i don't know.

If the client looks for it in port 9000 I am stuck in the water anyway I guess. Is my thinking right on that ?

Yes, the client looks for world on port 9000 so there is no way we can change that.

i'd say so, though i thought i read some posts about someone getting it working a *while* back, but it was fairly complicated.

Oh, it's certainly possible but yes fairly complicated.
