hey I need help setting up xebec on this remote world thingy

Post by flametard »

OK so I've set up a folder called remote worlds and set up folders for my planets. I tries putting my old data folder for the new data folder and a new maps folder. I managed to get my heightmap uploaded but I can't get my texmaps to upload. .Autotexmap 16 played a texmap, but not the one I wanted, it played down the old default texmap. I tried to delete the texmap but it still shows.

Basically the main question is... Is it going to be easy to re-set xebec back up? Lol

Well its unlikely to be easy.. If it was easy everyone would be doin it ;]

Right now.. the simplest method (and the one im using to mess around with world stuff) is to create one locally.. that way you can make a world even if you're offline or one of my central servers is down. Create a world using the current frontend and template - it'll appear in your user folder in a LocalWorlds directory. After that all is pretty much the same as normal, except that you can just fire the world up by joining it through the client.

not sure what auto-texmapping options are working right now, but you've got

Code: Select all

*settexmap texmapNum,x1,y1,x2,y2
and scripting a lil something up that does whatever you need shouldnt be too tricky.

If we could just get that where we could specify a filename instead of a pre-set texmap slot, then it would be the golden goose.

OK I signed up for amazon aws and connected to an ec2 server and launched an instance andhave access to a remote desktop. Now I need very detailed instructions on how to host xebec from here, please. Thanks.

Download the full server.
http://www.theuniversaldownloads.com/me ... ll0699.exe

Install it someplace simple (like c:\server)

After it's done installing, go into the c:\ drive via 'my computer'

right click the c:\srver folder and select copy, or hit control+c

Connect to the remote desktop

Go into the c drive via 'my computer'

right click and select 'paste', or hit control+v

wait for the stuff to be copied over

open the folder, double click the server, hope it runs without mit having to reregister it for you.

C:/ server? OK lemme try and figure out what that means. I am used to c drive- program files-the universal. That's why getting confused.

could install it there as well if you want.
I just said c:\server for simplicity

Plus, that way it's only the server being uploaded and not the client as well

Well good luck there, I've considered scouring british obituaries for signs of Mit's mortal escape....
