(Say it with me:)

There's no place like 127.0.0.1!

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."

That is my address.

In an ever-changing world it is a simple point of consistency. If my life were expressed as a location in a four-point internet protocol system, that address, at the moment I first turned on my modem, would be 127.0.0.1.

Thanks for the 127.0.0.1 - I knew it was close to that! Top of the head and all.

I would think you would want a separate launcher as it would be pulling a completely different source for the game info. Shrugs!

No need to, it won't work anyway.

You can't just point the game to your local address and expect a miracle.

The game requires:

A database server to store character data
Servers for the maps (hence 'mapservers')
Etc

So yeah, go ahead and try it. If by some chance you strike rich, come on back and tell us all.

On the other hand, if you do somehow have a CoH server running on your computer you can actually just point it at your computer by editing one registry entry, I think. But that'd require a private server to exist first, and since it doesn't that's not going to get you anywhere.

Steelclaw this is long over due.  To the best of my knowledge you and I have never had much, if any direct interaction in game or on the forums; but I've always enjoyed your posts, back on the CoH boards and even here.  This idea is amazing and it's a damn shame you're not an Uber-Programmer/Hacker.
