|
|
Server Setup:
|
|
|
|
Provided in this folder is a file named ServerControl.cs. Inside you will find many configurable
|
|
objects to modify server settings. For starters, set the host GUID to your GUID. To Do so,
|
|
start up the dedicated server. Join it, once in game, type ListGUIDS(); in the server console
|
|
to obtain your GUID. Then modify the line: $TWM2::HostGUID = "SetMeUp";, to match your GUID.
|
|
|
|
TWM2 Servers:
|
|
|
|
TWM2 uses a inter-server connectivity system known as PGD Connect. This system will allow users who
|
|
play TWM2 to transfer their rank/progression as well as load in buildings created in other servers
|
|
in your server. While PGD Connect itself is manditory across all TWM2 servers, saving information is
|
|
only permitted in what we designate as a "Core Server". This requires the server host to abide by the
|
|
TWM2 PGD Connect Core rules established by Phantom139. If you are interested in hosting a server with
|
|
this level of authority, please contact Phantom139 on the PGD Forums, or by email.

|
|
|
|
3.9 -> 3.91:
|
|
* Reduced the requirement to order missions to the rank of General (49) from Commanding Officer (59)
|
|
* This change also applies to the 'From The Top' Challenge Category
|
|
* In-Game, Missions have been renamed to Operations
|
|
* Fixed the incorrect internal tags for Lordranius Trevor
|
|
* Depricated Weekly and Monthly challenges, we will only issue daily challenges from this point forward
|
|
* Lib'd the TWM2 MainControl file and PGD Connect Support files to recover some functions
|
|
* The F2 Menu now detects PGD Connected accounts and will no longer show the option to PGD Connect to already connected users
|
|
* No more scary scientific notion when performing /checkstats or using the F2 menu to view player experience
|
|
* Both /checkStats and the F2 menu pages now display what rank number you are at along with the rank name
|
|
* Addressed a security issue regarding players who are "attempting" to load code via universal rank files.
|

|
|
* For example, let's say I was 900,001 and gained 100,000 EXP, I would be placed at 1,100,000 instead of the correct value of 1,000,001
