Can't get LAN-Server to work

[ThePhantom032]

So I took the server installer linked in this topic
and I already got around the IPv6 issue (at least I think so, since I dont know WHAT is going wrong right now)


A typical log looks like this

meaning the server crashes when I try to connect. I actually JIT-debugged through the crash (though I dont understand much of the code from just one look) and it looks like it crashes because of a null pointer when trying to send the first message back to the client. If anyone has an idea what this could be and how to fix it I would be very grateful.

Yeah, it's an issue, but PKK can help with more specific technical information... he got my LAN set up.

Why do you need a LAN? To see what your name looks like with Rank 32 next to it?

The ACSS server installer doesn't work in LAN mode because of this:
http://trac.alleg.net/ticket/340

I've installed an beta version of the server on TA's machine.

Thanks for the info - i switched my svn to compile the latest code instead of R7, compiled and can now join my server with a self compiled client.

Sadly I crash when the game starts, but I assume thats an artwork issue like usual and am trying to fix that now

EDIT: Fixed artwork, works! Thanks again!
