SWBFGamers

Does anyone know what domain names are used in SWBF and SWBF2 in the GameMaster patch?

I can pull out my hex editor, but if someone knows that would be nice  :cheers:

Thanks.  So if I understand this correctly, if I needed to buy a new domain, I just need to buy one that will replace "gameshare.me"  ?



and all the various prefixes will all be subdomains of the replacement, and then they will all point to the same new master server IP?

Also, if anyone has suggestions, that would be good.  Ideally, it will have <seven characters>.com to replace gamespy.com

Could be SWBFspy.com (like the group name)

Yeah, that is available to purchase, too.    OK, I just bought it.  We have it for ten years and after that it can be renewed.

Now I need to figure out what to do next  ;)

OK, I will need to wait for the pros to help me out...

That part is clear, but what is not clear is where exactly I do that--my domain registrar is Internetbs. Do I do it there (and what panel), do I have to purchase a hosting plan for SWBFspy.com and do it there, etc.

These are my burning questions.   :P

OK, I updated the "a records" on my domain registrar.  I just tested it out with a hex edited EXE file that Anyder made for SWBF2, and it works.

(be sure to search all regions :)  )
