Hello I'm trying to start a strange network problems list so that people can post problems that they have had and solved them so that others can use this as a reference guide if they suffer some of the more unconventional network problems. DO NOT POST YOUR NETWORK PROBLEMS HERE UNLESS YOU HAVE THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IN THE SAME POST. 1) My Client appears to not be able to connect to my server through my external I.P. address. Diagnosing: To check if this is your problem and not some other network problem visit: http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and enter the port number your server runs on (default 4000) in the port number and press check. If you get a message that the request was denied most likely you have failed at forwarding the right port, you entered the wrong port or it is some other strange network problem. If you get a response that says "success and your ip and port number" check your server console and check to see if you have received a very short connection from a random I.P. you probably won't recognize. If yes and yet your client still appears as offline when using your EXTERNAL I.P. address chances are you are suffering from this problem. Solution/Remedy: I have no remedy for this problem at the current time. It seems that through some sort of setting in a router or network area somewhere in your house the computer is not allowing your external I.P. to read back onto itself. I'm sure more competent people can find a solution but its not that big of a pain. You will be able to access the server still through your local "127.0.0.1" address or if you are on a router the computer that has the server on's local "192.***.***.***" address. You do not need to worry about others connecting as if you have set your released clients connection info to your External IP and Port. As they lie outside your network they shall still be able to connect to your server. * * * If anyone has any other uncommon network problems that they have solved please post them here so I can add it to the post (with your user name as credit of course)

so your near Vancouver Washington, I've been around there lots of times I've seen a few pawn shops. come on just put some effort into it. That or go to walmart and just buy a basic electric bass guitar since your just starting and dont have too much

haha Vancouver Washington or Vancouver B.C. Canada.

Ok it turns out that only those outside my network can connect via my exterior I.P. and computers in my network have to use a local address. I think I'll rewrite this so it can be stickied for anyone who might suffer the same problem

thanks someone connected.

never give your address if they ask though, or else they'll just go and steal it back, along with your other electronics.

2 words. pawn shop aww I was beat. but trust me they will have Bass guitars.

could someone please (on E.E. 2.7) temporarily change their ip and port for me just to see if you can see an online from my server: I.P: 64.180.185.186 Port: 5600

I think computers on my network at home cant connect to the server some where in my modem/router its not allowing the ip address to go from and then to itself. so computers on my network will have to use local address's to connect, I'm gonna logg onto my neighbours wireless to see if that's the problem

hence what makes this so strange

yes, I can connect through the local address but not when using the I.P. I havn't been able to test, that is not yet, if a computer outside my netwrok can connect through the port and external I.P.

Alright well under certain limitations you are permitted to use the graphics provided that you are A) not making money off of your project and B) Present the necessary and obvious information of where the tiles were obtained, who made them and a link to the RMXP people.

oh cruel and Ironic fate why must you tempt me so. I hope someone else might have some ideas, for now I have to connect locally at 127.0.0.1

haha I just said, when i use the website a received connection shows up on the **SERVER CONSOLE**

yea it does, I used this website to make sure the port is open http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and yes it is according to the website, not only that but the website shows up as connection received on the server console.

I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, But I successfully port forwarded my port 5600 for my server and I have all the correct info in the I.P. Configuration of the client but the client does not want to seem to recognize the server is online. which is retarted since using a webpage that tests if a port is forwarded I am able to connect as in it sends a single packet. That website that shows 5600 forwarded correctly registers on the console of the server, yet my client does not.

it is super super sensitive as in if the top left 32x32 square has a 0,0,0 color (pure black) then only pixels that are 0,0,0 will be transparent 0,1,0 or 1,0,0 or any combination not 0,0,0 will not work.

agreed, sounds like a good idea and good luck! people will say its stupid or impossible but they're just lazy, I cant help in developing but if i think of a way to help you well I'll try.

well to clarify the spells still would require certain magic stats but basically you would have to reach a certain general level to achieve the higher spells. Thus, making the players older in a game sense

true, but unlike everyone else I guess. I give a couple points per level to be spent on stats, also I'm going to be rigging it up so magic level just effects MP amount and regeneration rate.

Perhaps more magic spells need to be scripted b the user to require not only a magic level but perhaps an overall player level. So a level 10 person who has just put all 10 levels into magic cannot wield the same powerful magic (necessarily) as a level 20.

of course. now someone delete this, I put this question in the wrong forum

for the life of me I have no idea what this does or if it does anything or if its pointless.

Thankyou, though it did not fix my problem. Thats alright It was an old project from 2006 that I wanted to revive, making all custom graphics and such. It will be better for me to remap most of the corrupt maps anyway as my mapping skills are MUCH better now. I don't think that it doesn't work though, I think that somewhere along the lines I corrupted half my maps somehow

hey creator guy. I tested and tried to convert T.E. to E.E. 2.7\. Some maps converted perfectly with no errors, some only converted halfway deleting the rest of the map. some have those god awful graphics skips where a player walks and it leaves his image behind. like winning a solitaire game. And some cause error 9's or 6's. Not sure whats causing some maps to work perfectly and some to fail.
