I ran the helper app, and the designated stuff appears to be in the correct places. I guess I'm not sure what to use at the authentication stage, tho.
I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

I've installed the client, ran CoX from cmd, closed it, went into regedit, make the new string "Auth" with the value 77.46.18.50 and tried to go back in after doing that, but I'm still having trouble.

I'm only getting "You tried to access the address http://redmine.nemerle.eu/projects/segs_executor, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page." for most links.
The torrent is working so at least something to download.

Dear Citizens, even though my attention span was transplanted from an ADHD afflicted ferret,
I'm not able to monitor all possible communication channels well enough to provide timely help & advice.
As to prevent cluttering up titan's forums, and reduce my CTRL-TABittis please consider:

Think of the ferrets !

Please don't take the initial outcry as a direct call to you, Nemerle. We're pretty good at backing each other up. :)

I'm not setting myself up as tech support, per se, but I'm certainly willing to share with anyone who is stuck. I have the programming running, but it says it can't connect to the authentication server. Haven't poked at it since last night, and I probably won't get back to it for a couple of hours.
I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

At the very least, I got into the server and through character creation....then it crashed. Now I can't even get it to the server select screen again. Suppose I'll sit back and let those with a more code and program oriented mind than mine go to work on this all....and kudos for getting this running.

I'm not even sure how to install and run this on a Mac.  I suppose I can use Wineskin to get the installer running (like I did with Champions), and then go from there, but ... well, I'll wait until the game works on Windows before trying to finagle something like that, I guess :D

The client works without a hitch under linux+wine so I'm pretty sure it should work on macos too.

First things first:
This project is almost 8 years old now, so.. "YEARS earlier" it is not :D

The most important bit: The SEGS project is targeting the client from 2004
What works ? Auth server, Character creation, entering the Map and ... just hanging there by a thread :P

What doesn't ? everything else, of course :)
That helps explain much, this is still a huge stepping stone for those of us hoping to see a private CoH/V server! That you have it open source is double cool.

It took several tries, but I got in. It's primitive, but still awesome!

Thanks, Nemerle, if you're still watching.

Graphics totally FUBAR, reminded me of when I7 hit and half of Cap Au Diable was broken.

Still was grinning from ear to ear.

Whoa.

I started reading the newer posts on this thread and I almost wet myself.

I read some more and found the treasure and I DID wet myself.

Please excuse me while I go clean up.  Then I'm gonna try this puppy out!

To everyone who is working on this, THANK YOU!!!!

I keep getting the "Cannot connect to DBserver" message. 
Is this the part that takes several tries?

So, about how many attempts does it take to connect?  I've tried at least a dozen times so far, but no dice. 
Also, is the server supposed to be called UNNAMED or did I screw up and end up trying to log in to a non-existent server?

Well, Lucretia, you need to make sure that you go into regedit and go to the SEGS_test under software, and have the string titled 'Auth' with the IP address 77.46.18.50    That 'should' get you going to the actual thing. The server should be named Freedom at that point. Just a heads up, don't expect to be running around fighting.

Also, you may need to open up three ports to actually get in game...Those ports all being outgoing.   TCP 2106, UDP 7002, and UDP 7003

I keep getting a fatal error that says "unknown auth protocol 254."

No clue what that means or how to fix it...

If we could get a couple of our other folks to work with Nem at this point and create a server launcher and the code for Issue 4 and get it on P2P - we have a start.
