I thought I had run POL on my new computer but I cannot connect at the moment.
Using the 4.0.0c client.
All my c:\uo files have renamed WoD files and I am using login.cfg instead of wodli.cfg, naturally.



pol\config/servers.cfg
GameServer
{
Name POL local
IP 127.0.0.1
Port 7011
}
This did have port 5003 but since it didn't work, I changed it.


c:\uo\login.cfg
LoginServer=127.0.0.1,7011


pol/pol.cfg
this points to my c:\uo distribution with a listen port of 7011

Anything else I need to change or check? I've never really had problems connecting to my own copy of the shard before. It must be Atei's fault since he had all those problems.

POL cannot "decrypt" the encryption of 4.0.0c
use a 2.0.0 client and change / add this to /pol/pol.cfg

Code: Select all

ClientEncryptionVersion=2.0.0

then you can login with your 2.0.0 client
Good Luck.

I have a decrypted version of 4.0.0c that I use on WoD all the time. I wonder if the ClientEncryptionVersion line is causing the problem? I do have that in pol.cfg already.

*pause*
no, that didn't do it. hmm.

trying to use 2.0 client didn't work either. I changed port to 2593, made sure the ClientEncryptionVersion line was uncommented and the standard 2.x client didn't connect.

How bizarre, eh?

I don't know what I was doing wrong. I just played with things and it works now. lol.

4.0.0c unencrypted client

in c:\uo\login.cfg:
LoginServer=127.0.0.1,7011

in pol\config\servers.cfg
GameServer
{
Name POL local
IP 127.0.0.1
Port 5003
}


in pol\pol.cfg
ListenPort=2593

Hmmm, it must have been the pol.cfg file. I had the listenport set to 7011.
