Yes, I suppose in theory we could have a program that connects to 'our' WOL and the real one. The problem is that the people who follow stuff like that is so small in relation to the total number of players that someone drastic would have to happen (like WOL down for good) before people really adopted it.

Other than that, I know v00d00 and Scorpio9a both have a WOL replacement coded. I'm not sure what percent complete they are or how much they've been tested. But, we do already have the hardware capacity to take over if needed in these servers I spend $500/month for.

I'm the bawss.

If in the even of WOL going down. Wouldn't you have to implement a means of changing the

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Westwood\Renegade\WOLSettings\Se rvers

binary data?

No, you just have to add an entry into your "hosts" file to resolve the DNS to another address.

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

Would current bots, like BrenBot, CloudyServ, or DragonServ work on your new "WOL"? Or would all admin bots have to be recoded to port with your replacement?

What kind of changes would be affected by this? Basically would this be a do it our way or no way at all type of deal. How much different would it be from now, and what bug fixes would this fix?

It would be the same as before, just with normal pings
in the serverlist (yes, green ones !), maybe own ladder system, and other stuff. I could also imagine nick registration via nickserv in WOL Big Grin

If it were up to me, I'd just link the n00bstories IRC network to the WOL IRC network. That would be quite cool, I think. That is, of course, assuming that EA ever drops the official WOL servers.

WOL works like an IRC Server, its very simple.

I already tried connecting to irc.ues-clan.net IRC Server and

worked without any problems. But I need commands like

/glist to make it work for Renegade lol.

Since so many people use Renguard and it just started logging into the new server and asking people to re-register it would work out rather well. The possiblities of a new master server are endless. We could have things that we never had before with the normal WOL.

BTW: right now I am reinstalling renegade for the first time in years this should be interesting.
