Hello everyone (and a happy new year!)

I'm new to this forums and have a problem setting up an allegiance LAN server, for private gameplay skill increasment (formerly very active I haven't played allegiance for a decade now ;)

Following the steps on allegwiki, i did set up a LAN server using the R5 server pack from this website. Everything seems to run properly on either server and clients (..302), until i start to connect to the LAN game - on all clients i get the message "The server you are trying to play on is out-of-date...", leaving me with only one option: Exit to the lobby.

I already asked Mr. Google and i have read dozens of forum posts (all i could find), but, unfortunately, with no success so far.

Steps i (found and) tried to fix the issue with by myself:
• copying the Artwork folder from current allegiance client into \Allegiance\Server\artwork folder
• copying (overwriting) all .cvh and .igc files from client artwork- to server artwork- folder

Hopefully someone may also have set up a LAN server, got it running and still remembers the steps to surround that message/issue?

Thanks in advance :)

P.S. Why am i going to set up a LAN server? Cause i wanna to get into the allegiance game again (controls, etc.) before i will meet you guys on public servers. Beeing several hours before US (EST), therefore (and usually) at german daytime not able to find someone on public servers, i would like to jump into the game whenever i have some free time for some training.

Unforntunately, we do not have lan server capability in our current release ( R7)
Luckly, you can create a game on the public servers and than, render it private by inputting a password.
Here is how you do it.
Login into allegiance trough ACSS
2 once you are at the main menu screen, click free games.
3 click current games listing.
4 this will bring you to the lobby.
5 click create game.
6 this will open up the game creation screen.
7 input the name of your game, and select the core ( latest is pcore8b), then select the server you wish to play on ( i suggest mach, given your location). When you have done, click create game.
8 you will be transfreed to the pre game lobby
9 join a team, ( yellow or blue) by doubleclicking on either.
10 now you are the leader, or commander of a team, click game settings.
11 you can now modify several game settings, as we as inputting a password to forbid people from joining.
12 when you are done, click apply.
13 now, untick the empty team, and the force launch button should light up.
14 click it to launch the game.

Glad to have you back. :)

...if i only could get my wife into this... ;) But anyway, i try to get in on sundays cause big game really sounds great!

Yesterday i had either my first private online training session as well as the first sessions on US servers. Like 10 years ago, the only problem is to configure and remember the right keys ... should dig after my Logitech gaming keyboard ... After that and getting into the new factions everything should be like usual: having great fun with allegiance and you guys!

About the tournament, i don't think i am skilled enough for that yet and neither have the free time needed right now - but thank you for invitation Blacksun! for the next one i should be ready :)

Greets, GL&HF!
