WOLProxy v1.2 Copyright © 2004-2011 Tiberian Technologies

Change log:
2011 Jan 28 - Release v1.2
- Updated for changes to XWIS IP/port

2006 Sept 03 - Release v1.1
- Automatic reconnection to WOL
- Automatic detection of WOL nonresponse to map start command, sends fake response to FDS to prevent it from crashing
- IP banning with wild cards, effective for preventing IP harvesting bots and exploiters. (Not an effective ban for players)

v1.00
- Initial release


CREDITS -
v1.0 - v00d00 (v00d00 Net Services) - initial concept and release
v1.1, 1.2 - Crimson - Auto-reconnect functionality, ip banning

------------------------------------------------------------ --
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
* Open your "hosts" file, usually located at C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

* Add the following line to the bottom of the file:
999.999.999.999    xwis.net

CHANGE 999.999.999.999 to your server's PUBLIC IP address!

* Download the software from this thread and unzip it wherever you'd like.

* Launch mirc.exe. You should see a purple message saying that it's listening on 3 ports. If you see an error, make sure that you are not running any other version of WOLProxy. Close the previous version and restart this version.

* Launch or restart your Renegade Servers. You will see relevant messages in the application as the servers connect to XWIS. You will also see messages and errors if XWIS goes offline as it tries to reconnect. Your server will stay online through an outage, even if the map changes on your server.


Known issues:
- When your server reconnects to XWIS, the player count will say 0 in the server listings. There is no way to fix this, as this number is reported by the XWIS server.
- Verbiage in this app remains "WOL" instead of XWIS in order to keep the naming conventions the same
- You will see a lot of errors if XWIS remains offline for more than a few seconds as the FDS tries to send commands to XWIS. An upcoming release will check to make sure that the connection to XWIS is active before attempting to forward communication from the FDS.
- This is written in mIRC. Sorry, but this saved me several hours of work writing from scratch.


I'm the bawss.

We're trying to track down why some people are having this problem. First option is to set your hosts file to point c.xwis.net to your public IP or LAN IP rather than 127.0.0.1. We're also investigating a POSSIBLE connection to the Black Intel Start Button fix.

No, put your public IP... the IP that other people connect to you with.

You would have to edit the script to do that, but the text is rather useless. It shows maps changes and disconnections/reconnections.

No, replace the 127.0.0.1 with your PUBLIC IP and leave the c.xwis.net as the second section.

Let me please note that John Wil has also put in a startbutton fix in scripts.dll V2.9 (I think) which might be causing the same problem... I haven't had the chance to test this so....

PLEASE READ THE ENCLOSED README FILE FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON USING THE BAN USER/IP FUNCTIONALITY AND USER IGNORE FUNCTIONALITY


I downloaded this and found no Readme. It would be nice to learn more about these features.

i found myself rofl.


a proxy is a program that "bounces" messages from one place to another. EG:

normal:
Your computer ===> server
Proxied:
Your computer ===> proxy ===> server

it enables your computer to be hidden from the internet. the server will think the proxy is your computer. even though it isn't.

now, my question. why use WolProxy? what advantage does it have over connecting straight to Xwis?

When XWIS crashes (as we saw yesterday), the server crashes just because its connected to that AGL page and etc. With this, it fixes the problem, and so if XWIS is down, your server and everyone in your server will still be connected, as it originally should have been Thumbs Up

Yes, this proxy software prevents your FDS from restarting when it loses connection to XWIS.

I guess I kinda forgot about this app a bit since it's been working for me without any issue. Sorry about that. :\

It's bad for hosting companies, you can only use 3 servers with this ap, crimson, make it so it uses 4010 -- 4100, or something, I would love to use this program, but when it only uses 3 ports, its kinda bad.

When I use this appy nobody can join my FDS, they get the negotiating port error. Though I could be also doing someting wrong since this appy isn't the most straight forward.

Do you get errors in the WOLProxy window? And did you set your hosts file?
