Changing world port

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

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.

On Linux you might find that IP aliasing will work. So each server binds to port 9000 on a different IP address. You'll possibly have to bind to alternative addresses on the 127.0.0.0 network as well so that world and zone can talk to each other, as well as letting the LoginServer make sense.
