First they connect to WOL to find out WOL is still having connection problems. Then maybe they go and find that XWIS tool and attempt to connect to XWIS. Someone has already registered their nickname or they registered it in the past and are using the wrong password. They don't think this is the problem though because it's just an empty lobby....
Once the redirect is complete this will be less of a problem, but until everyone figures out that an empty lobby means invalid password quite a few people will be confused.

Try re-reading what I said.
And, what's up with the XWISC server dieing every night approximately 5 minutes after midnight CST? I don't know if this causes issues on the RA2 servers, but when that happens all players get disconnected since the game server has to communicate with the quickmatch bot and that it stays loaded on the IRC.

How many nicks can one person register at xwis? I heard people saying to me that they couldn't register more than three (after that they just get a list of their nicks in a message, saying to use those.
Is this related to their IP? Cause I could register more.

Yes, I have the same questions bassicly.
- how many nicks can I use with my (Original Renegade cd and serial.)+ my IP.
- Is it possible that someone could be using my nick but with another pw'd? or will he see that it's already registerd.
- Why did the Green ping's change to Red/Yellow all of a sudden (Not that it's that important but anyways).
Other then that I like the Mod too, and so far I think XWIS is pretty smooth, I know it's not all done yet. But it's smooth so far.

You don't register your nickname again with XWIS. The XWIS servers use the same database as the WOL servers. So if you register a nick through WOL, you don't have to register it with XWIS because it's already registered.
w00t?

No wonder you didn't understand what I said. Nicknames don't transfer over. You register a nickname by being the first one to login with it on the XWIS server. If someone logs in with it before you do, it's their nick now with the password they logged in with.

But you first have to register a nick with WOL so that it will show up in-game. Unless you connect with an IP tool or something like that.
w00t?

Ok so I'm confused. We have a bunch of people saying that when you log into XWIS for the first time you create your account on the XWIS database. Then we have another bunch saying that your not creating anything that XWIS is using WOLs database. Which is it???

· How do I create a nickname for XWIS
Registering a nickname on XWIS is as simple as logging in.
Simply connect to XWIS, and login with your desired username and password. Once you have logged in that nickname is registered for you. You can register up to 3 XWIS usernames in this way.
Tip : to avoid automatically logging in with a WOL nickname that you do not wish to register on XWIS first go to"My information" and uncheck the option to automatically login with that account before you press "custom game" for XWIS.

The WOL database is NOT being given to XWIS/Strike Team. When you log into XWIS, your nickname and password are registered on that system.
|
Remains my question: how many can you register? Some have been able to register 25, others say they can only register 3...

To the best of my knowledge you are limited to 3 per serial. The problem is that the XWIS software doesn't provide any useful feedback when you're registering these nicknames so you don't know if it's successful or not until you try.
I'm the bawss.
