Wouldn't they be using different engine names and passwords? If they
use the engine pack out of the box without customizing the name and
password then it's their fault if they get booted.
Yes, the idea is not to share an account but for the server to
somehow recognize them as standard players.
I think I missed a step in my explanation. I am trying to get back to
the original suggestions on this topic of using a single digit numeric
suffix. This uses the mechanism already built into the client - thanks
Don =) - which allows you to specify multiple alternative logins in the
same config file. Each engine picks a suffix at random. There are three
advantages to this:
* it satisfies those who wanted a single digit suffix
* it solves the problem with Mogo needing restarting
* suffixes get selected automatically - this means the end users
don't need to grab a suffix which is then solely used by then
Of course this relies on their being a standard shared password. If
however you would prefer to stick with the one-suffix-per-user, I agree
that the "2nd login causes boot" is a simple and effective solution,
especially when combined with the other ideas!
So, shall I move back to the beta2 suffix (set by the user in the
suffixes.txt file) so that we can go with the suggested approach?
Kind regards
Raffles
