9995 is a good idea. So's 2100. I don't like 10000 since it breaks the "999x" theme. 80 is a terrible idea, everyone and their cat has that port blocked. Some ISPs block it because they don't want webservers running on user computers, etc, etc. If we wanted a port with a higher probability of being open, we could find a port used by another popular online game that requires port opening. > Also, for the write dir, we have for 2.1: > win: Warzone 2100 2.1 > mac: Warzone 2100 2.1 > linux: .warzone2100-2.1 > > Since 2.2 will need a new port, (and thus a new config file specifing > a new port), > Do we stick with the format above, and just make it 2.2? Well, clearly we're going to use a different dir. I guess we could stick with the format above. > Anyone think of anything else that needs changing before we kick out > the alpha (or beta)? Wait for me to put some more rebalance changes into 2.2. Do we think we can wait another week? -Zarel _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
