Make Your Server NON-HAMACHI! [FREE!]

Okay, this guide will tell you how to setup a 5165 server without a
dedicated host or Hamachi! (Or any other other stupid clients you have
to connect to.) Okay first you need to find out what version of a modem
you have. This will usually be located on the bottom of your modem or
router. Some times this might tell you on your modems homepage, Which
is probably 192.168.0.1(If you do not know this I'll tell you farther
down.)



Okay first we need to portforward three ports! (4 if you are going to have a reg page)
9958
9957
5816
80<-- WebServer port.

If you need more help then I provide then you can go to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] This place tells you anything you need to know about forwarding your specific modem or router!

First
go into your Modems homepage, Go to Port Forwarding, or Virtual
Servers. For Name put what ever you want. Start port will be the port
that you are forwarding, End Port will be the same as Start Port. Put
Protocol to Both if it is not all ready at this. And Local IP Address
will be your IP Address. If you do not know how to find this go into
Start, then in the Search field type CMD. A little black screen will
pop up, You need to type in ipconfig or ipconfig /all

I am
running off wireless so mine says Wireless LAN adapter Wireless network
Connection: Then it says my DNS, IPv4, IPv6, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway. You will be typing the Default Gateway number into a
Firefox/Internet Explorer search bar. For instance mine is 192.160.0.1
I would type just that. That number will bring you up to your modems
home page that is where you go into the portforwarding screen at. Under
Local IP Address for the port you are going to forward will be the IPv4
IP address. So if your Modems IP is 192.168.0.1 and the IPv4 says
192.168.0.13 then Local IP Address will be 192.168.0.13. If you are not
wireless you need to look under "Ethernet adapter Local Area
Connection" for your IPs. (Most modem/routers have a login and password
try the login as admin and the password as admin. If this doesn't work
try the login as admin and password as just password. Google for more
information if these do not work.)

Ok next is a little harder to
do. You need to go to the part of your modem which says if it Dynamic
or a Static IP, this is usually in Basic Settings. You will need to
change Dynamic IP to Static IP. Mine looks something like this.


Network Configuration
WAN IP Address 12.12.123.00
Duration D: 00 H: 08 M: 00 S: 00
Expires Sat Feb 06 00:30:49 2010
WAN Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
WAN Default Gateway 12.12.12.1
WAN Primary DNS 12.123.12.123
WAN Secondary DNS 12.123.123.12

You
will need to copy YOUR IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Primary DNS,
Secondary DNS. You will then proceed to click "Static IP" You need to
enter in these settings that you have just coppied into the boxes that
will pop up. After you hit Apply your modem will restart so don't freak
out when you get disconnected. My IP expires and refreshes itself on a
regular basis as seen above. If yours does this then you will not want
to host a server because you will have to keep giving new IP addresses
out to the players.
After you hit apply then that should let you have people connect to your computer with no Hamachi or other crappy programs.

You will need to get into your OLDCODB folder. Open up Config, and edit the contents inside of this.
[Database]
GameServerIP=Your IP
ConquerPath=C:\OldCODB\ <------ Location of your OldCODB folder.
WebServerPort=80 <------ The port that you forwarded

[MySql]
User=root <---- SQL Login
Password=fatkid <-----SQL Password

You can go to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
to find out what your IP is if you have not found out by now lol...
That will get your server ready for going online to other people!

ACIDRAIN SOURCE FILES>>>[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

These
are my servers source files, I don't remember who I got them from but I
did make some changes in them such as translations for things that
didn't make sense and what not.


Ok and now for the register page! Fun I know

You need to download [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Here
is the AcidRain Reg Page I don't remember where I got it but thanks to
who ever did make this. Sorry for forgetting your name

AcidRain Register Page>>>[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

You
need to change the IP address and stuff in Config/Index. These will
need to be put AppServ's www folder. This will be located in C:.
To get into your web page you would type into a web browser,
/Your
IP/Index You can change this with a website that makes shorter IPs I
suggest .tk Well this is all I can think of, if you have any questions
feel free to ask! Enjoy!
