4x4 Evolution Chat Server Software

Post#1 » Wed May 11, 2016 1:22 pm

NOTE: I did not modify/create this all credit goes to Sponji, I do not know enough about this to provide any direct support!!!

While I did not want to end up releasing this publicly, the dreamcast-talk, and the three servers we ran are down as well. According to the readme left by our coder this should be capable of running on most any flavor of Linux. However primarily, we used it on Raspberry Pi's only. Included is both the source and binarys exactly as mine was configured.

How it works:
-Provides UDP ping usually defaults to port 1234. Vanilla versions of the game refuse to allow attempts without a successful ping.
-Runs a modified version of IRCD specifially modified for 4x4 Evolution to encode/decode users. And reject standard IRC connection attempts.

If you successfully get a server up and running with this send me the IP/port and I'll add it to the master server list.

I'll try to put one up tonight! :) Thank you so much for working on all this!

Edit: Configured and running, not quite sure how to test however. :\

Our server is running but DC players can't see it for some reason. We still haven't figured out the issue yet besides that an OS update broke it. So hopefully soon dc-talk will be back permanently. Sorry for the goof up.
