Post Trouble createing server/ Can't retrieve maps
I watched Lord Kat's video on how to create a server, and i try to do what he says but it will not work (Link at bottom). Now following his instructions, i open us the server, hit enter and it updates. The next thing he says to do is type in a password, but it never gives me that option, it just asks about the meta server. The question for the password shows up but it just skip over it. So i try and continue on and make a room, but it wont let me, theres a button saying "create room" or w/e but its grayed out and nothing to click. Now is there a different/easier way to do it or something, or am i just doing it wrong, or what? I'm really lost. : /

Now for the maps. I try to load them, and either nothing happens or only some elements of it appear. Ex: i made a map, loaded it, and only the miniatures came up, with no grid, the background was the generic green you start with, and no whiteboard marks were there. Do i have to save it as a certain type or something? do i need to always do that update? which i did actually, and is it normal to have to update it every time?

If anyone can answer my questions or even one i will be very thankful lol, but right now the server part is the bigger problem.

I watched his video and he is running Traipse OpenRPG (my fork) as his client, and it looks like he is running the Gilcrease Release as his server. Do you know what version of OpenRPG you are running?

I am the Traipse developer. David or Paul can probably help you with the gilcrease release.

Sorry for the long wait, been gone.

Sounds like your running the old version 1.8.0.

When you updated did you select "release" in the first drop down menu and "1.8.0.5" in the second menu?

One way to test what version you have is once openrpg is running type /update in the chat entry box and hit return it will then open up the update box. Next to where it says current version it will have a number like 1.8.0.5 if there is no number then you are running the old 1.8.0 version.

I'm not familiar with setting up severs so I can't say anything about Lord Cats instructions. They may have been written for an older version like 1.7.1

You do know that you don't have to set up your own server to use the software?

You can use anyone of the open servers already set up.

Chose Browse servers under the game server menu.

It is fine, as you can see, i havn't responded in a while either lol.

But ya, i have no idea how to really use open rpg especially not about servers or anything like that, so any advice on how to get others in a game would be happily accepted.

I have "1.8.0" and it asks me to install "1.8.0.5" every time i open it, and ive installed it many times but get the same thing every time i open it :/ . When i update or install it or w/e its already set on "release". Did i install the wrong thing or something? maybe it's my pc? idk. If you could help id appreciate it, and thanks for replying too :)

hhmmm

It should not want to update every time you launch it. For some reason it doesn't seem to be updating fully. It can take several minutes for it to fully update.

When you update how long does it take?

Does it show a long list of files it's updating in the right hand window?
