I have a question about slave servers.
actually, a few questions.
1: how do you create them? the instructions are confusing Huh
2: can they be active when your computer is off? (may seem a bit dumb but i'm unsure)
3: can i join my own Slave server?

if i have more questions i'll post them later Very Happy

1: The instructions are fairly clear, try re-reading them
2: No.
3: If this slave server is on a dedicated host (ie: not your PC, then yeah) if it is on your PC, then there wouldn't be much point going to the effort of making one.

Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Ermmm about slave servers: don't use them, just install renegadefds multiple times in different directories.

About hosting: most of us rent a dedicated server in a datacenter. 'The planet' is a popular USA-based one. However, this costs around 100 $ per month.

You can also host from companies like aohost.co.uk who rent out Renegade servers. As they run multiple servers on one computer, the performance may suffer but they are way cheaper. You usually do get what you're paid for Wink.

You can disable BRenBot's RenGuard settings I believe. I can't say FOR SURE because I don't have access to my server at this time to check. But I'm pretty sure you can disable it. (Not to mention you can modify the BRenBot source easily Smile )

Slave servers are not recommended.
Just install the FDS to for example C:\Westwood\RenegadeFDS
Simply leave this folder AS IT IS, do not change anything.
Make a copy of that folder and use that one to set up your server,
install ssaow on it, brenbot(or other) etc etc.
Then you always have a 'clean' install directory which you can
copy files from in case your server fux up.

Is it legal? Would the creators get mad?

I believe that since BRenBot is coded in PERL, it's source is "included" with each release. If you want to know how to edit BRenBot, just contact me on MP IRC or pm me here.


-Thanks,

EDIT: Btw, there is only one coder for BRenBot. That is danpaul88.

It's zipped, not compiled. Perl gets compiled at runtime.

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"

Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life
