New way to play SWBFI online? (not Tunngle)

[Led]

I was playing around with the BF2 Gamespy Login Emulator and found that it picks up any login attempts that I tried to make in SWBF. The reason why it didn't want to work, is because I don't have MySQL setup on my main PC, as it wants you to create a database into which it can store usernames and passwords. So, I'm almost convinced that OpenSpy.org works with something similar to this.

End of last year I was also playing around with the BF2142 server emulator and got that working. I don't have a lot of time on my hands now, but I'll see what I can get working in the next day or so.If anyone else wants to have  a crack at it, please feel free to drop me a pm 

Yes, I would like to have a link to the emulator you mention.  We have people that can help us set up the database server.

Here you is an old version: http://www.unknowncheats.me/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=5696

And here is a newer version, although, very little documentation exists for it:

https://code.google.com/p/gsloginserver/

I'll play around again with it tomorrow, see you guys later !

i have finished a beta patcher for openspy, would it be ok to post a link here when i finish with testing.

1st link doesn't work, second one did.

@Buckler u could try contacting openspy dev team and see if they could help you with setting up  our own master server.

The first link does work, you just need to register on the site to download it 

BTW, I got it to redirect to emulator on my dedicated box, but it doesn't allow me to create a new account, but I guess the fields in the database just need to correspond with the data you're entering, then it might work, but alas lets see what we can find out about this.

Reupload it here?

Ok, I attached the old version of the login emulator 

EDIT: Here is another site similar to that of Openspy.net:

http://bobzent.info/index.php

Seems to be a Brazilian or Argentinian site of sorts. Note, their DNS server IP's are also located at the top left.

They even have a list of all the Gamespy games, with relevant rooms etc, check BF1942 for example:

http://bobzent.info/gsstatusget.php?game=bfield1942d

And they even have an Openspy status page as well:

I've done a lot of digging today and found the core Openspy files on github. It appears to be all coded in C / C++, I have no idea how to execute any of it, but it's very interesting that's for sure.

Here is an extract of the openspy.cfg file

Here is a link to the Openspy core files: https://github.com/sfcspanky/Openspy-Core


Like I said, I have no idea how it works, but I guess this might be a way to host your own Openspy type like server. Just a pity there isn't any documentation to go along with it

I think if someone knew how to edit those they could recompile a master server app with modified settings and then host it from your own site URL. Maybe some of the bugs with using swbf internet through openspy are caused because the master server scripts gamespy used for swbf1 were slightly different?

[Led]

I would like to try to compile this server software.  So, if you don't mind, let's test the openspy for direct connection servers and macs and by then maybe I can see if I can get our own operational.

If it works out well, I bet we could run our own stats server.

I would also like to try to get the SWBF2 master server working for us as well, as they are probably only a short while from being shut down too.

How about testing until about the end of May?  and then move the community to one place or another depending on the results?

Sounds good. For the direction connection option, does it allow you to directly connect to a dedicated server or to an internet game that somebody is hosting (almost like a listen server) ?

[Anyder]

Actually there has been  no problem with gamespy of swbf2
But ill ask ace if we can host a server warning of a possible shutdown, and tell them to come to this site

[Dark_Phantom]

There will be no warning if SWBF2 shuts down.  Gamespy reserved the right to shutdown their service at any time (regardless of what third party GLU does).  We played the day before and the next it was gone.

Anyway, if we could figure out how to compile and optimize the Openspy source, it would probably be nicer than Gamespy, and definitely better than Tunngle (which I have so many problems with on dialup...)

I didn't try to join yet (I haven't been home much), but when I did check, I could see the FC server, so I'm excited.  If I would have known the batch files I've been messing with could do all of this, I could have helped.



Stonecold:  Direct Connect allows connection through an IP address to someone else hosting using the Direct Connect option.  It goes through Gamespy which is why it was left unoperational after the shutdown.

Wooo Macs! Don't forgot about the 5 or so of us that still play SWBF on them...

Heh, at this point, everyone counts!
