Server.War2.ru / Re: Why was Equinox banned for two days and several other players?

« on: March 22, 2023, 11:48:46 PM »

Just checked logs:
Account "Lightbringer-" have been probably hacked and used for some unauthorized activity.

That's why i just checked the list of admins and removed old ones from the list.
Please, let me know if someone should have some access permissions and loose them.

Server.War2.ru / Re: AI improved sprites res

« on: March 03, 2023, 04:46:34 PM »

Nice job!
I think that would be possible to do something with that improved sprites!

Probably could be very usefull to do the same for warcraft 1 sprites. We have a WinWar project, the whole 100% compatible code of warcraft: Orcs & Humans:
https://forum.warcraft2.online/index.php/topic,5635.0.html

Could be great to make it Full HD. Though Zelya said about ugly upscale. But if you will be able to make it beautiful, maybe he will be glad to increase the resolution.
As i remember, the main problem was related to no one who can make good sprites.
Maybe you can try to do something? Though Zelya is not so active here now...

Server.War2.ru / Re: Deleted Names Issue

« on: February 15, 2023, 02:28:23 AM »

@iL are names being stored on the cache or server itself? I was thinking up to this point they were being inserted into a database table.

Not sure about these troubles.
Yes, there's a cache, theres also a database.
Is something happens with DB, names being updated in cache.
Some names could be easily stored in cache only or in DB in inconsistent state.
At least everything should work fine now with DB.

Server.War2.ru / Re: [Release] Warcraft II Widescreen / High resolution patch

« on: November 28, 2022, 02:43:40 AM »

Found the sounds, adjusted some. Is there a way to get the new Eye of Kilrogg after you've already installed?

The official way is to reinstall Combat to the same folder. Just change the setup as you with and install it again. You will replace any resources, everything is Combat.
(only one known thing that will not change that way: if you install plugins they will not disappear after reinstall, you should delete plugins manually).

Is there a way to skip the Blizzard logo at the start?

If space/esc or w/e else after the game start is not what you want, the only way i'd say is to change the mpq archive manually. You can replace blizzard.smk with the "empty" video (empty video is not the same as the empty file)

Is there a way to remove the loud chime when a game is started, and also the one when you end a game?

You should remove it from war2combat\plugin. As i remember it's a "PlaySound.w2p" file or something like that.

Server.War2.ru / Re: Deleted Names Issue

« on: October 28, 2022, 06:25:53 AM »

Most likely that happened when the server disk have been full, record failed on creation, so account have been partially created.

Now im going to make more space on disk, after that we'll fix these partially created accounts...

Server.War2.ru / Site and forum migrated

« on: October 28, 2022, 06:20:45 AM »

Just migrated forum and site to different hosting.
If you see this, that means your DNS is already see the changes.

All the domain names should work the same way:
https://en.warcraft2.online
https://forum.warcraft2.online
https://en.war2.ru
https://forum.war2.ru
Also with no ssl:
http://en.warcraft2.online
http://forum.warcraft2.online
http://en.war2.ru
http://forum.war2.ru

Let me know if something is not working/became broken here.

A big political event happened in Russia today.
Appreciate the rhetoric, I never heard that before from Putin:

Vladimir Putin Illegal Annexation FULL Speech and Ceremony - ENGLISH Sept 30th, 2022

Server.War2.ru / Re: Is War2.ru Battle Net server dead ?

« on: September 30, 2022, 06:22:26 PM »

Server is working now, not sure how long it was dead, just fixed now, at least war2.ru domains are working fine.
Warcraft2.online is still inactive, in progress...

Server.War2.ru / Re: domain DNS not resolved

« on: September 28, 2022, 09:49:32 AM »

Ok, yeah that's true. So the problem is just for this specific top domain? If we had other top domain, do you still think the problem would have occurred?

Kho knows?
It's quite dangerous to have domain in .ru in today's political realities. I hoped .online will be more safe. Looks like that was not so...

Now domain registrar says domain blocked by ICANN. And ICANN says they didn't...

So, the plan: just change the gateways back to ru, play war2 and look how it will go with that .online domain...

Server.War2.ru / Re: domain DNS not resolved

« on: September 28, 2022, 04:08:09 AM »

We don't have fixed IP to use?

No, ip can be changed during migration or w/e..
We always used the domain name server.war2.ru and backup.war2.ru

Recently we began to use server.warcraft2.online instead. But looks like that was not a good idea, returning back to war2.ru...

Server.War2.ru / Re: domain DNS not resolved

« on: September 28, 2022, 03:07:42 AM »

So, that is the answer from DNS support i just received:

Hello dear,
after a long investigation ... it appears your domain has been temporarily blocked by ICANN. I don't know what you were doing with it, but probably something highly illegal. You need to contact them to get it unlocked. We have no control over it as it has been moved away from us

So, I'll try to do something, but I'd say my forecast is not so good here...

Server.War2.ru / Re: Server lagging hard - Restart?

« on: July 18, 2022, 05:58:06 PM »

Ok let me look into the crypto wallet you sent to me earlier. Paypal is still out of the question I take it?

I can add your account to hosting payment, you can attach your payment card directly to it if you want. Should work such way...
