Baaleos 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Sacred VPN Lan Games Available Download Wippien (open source vpn client) Install, Create an Account Go to Add Contact, add SacredOpen@wippien.com Presto! Next time you go into Sacred Underworld, check the Local Network games section, and you should see 5 Free Play Game Servers (one for each difficulty band). The Servers are monitored by a Process Watchdog, will be restarted within 10 seconds etc if they ever crash, and the server content itself reboots when all players leave the server. Servers will be up 24/7 for anyone to play on them. So far, got about 5 players registered on the vpn. Servers are hosted in England in a Datacenter, of course ping will depend on your location in relation to the datacenter. Edited March 8, 2011 by Baaleos Link to comment
Dragon Brother 619 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Thats cool. Been a while since I played Underworld. Don't know if I should be installing another game now that its uni time though... Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I know several people still play Underworld and this has to be a nice present to be able to play on-line again - finally. Sure we'll have members trying this out. Thank you for posting all the details p.s. welcome to the forums Link to comment

Sure we'll have members trying this out. Thank you for posting all the details p.s. welcome to the forums This is just incase anyone has any problems seeing the servers via Local Network connection (LAN Via Wippien) Try the following. When Wippien is open, Click on Settings, Go To Network, Set the Network Settings to be Gateway = 5.0.0.1 (ticked) IP Address = 5.3.154.x (x can be your own number 1-254) Netmask = 255.0.0.0 Also set the Radio Button to Obtain from IP Provider Database. And fill in the edit box with the following information http://www.wippien.com/ip/?jid=xxxx Where xxxx = your wippien address eg - Baaleos@wippien.com The IP Provider allows the wippien servers to manage the ip allocation. Once you are sure you have all these settings set, try right clicking on SacredOpen in wippien, and try to ping. If the ping succeeds, there is a good chance the Sacred Servers will show up. If not, then check your windows firewall, or third party firewall. You must allow Wippien access to the outside world, as well as sacred. Link to comment
Baaleos 0 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Note - I just did an experiment - I was still able to see the servers when my Home Computer was set to 5.3.153.x and the server was on 5.3.154.x Its possible we only need to worry about the 5.3.x.x part. After changing the ip address, you must restart wippien. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,038 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Thanks Baaleos for bring this topic over to FDM. It's a good resource you are offering for players. Welcome to DarkMatters! gogo Link to comment
Baaleos 0 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Got about 9 players subscribed to the servers now. I'm also developing a new project that will allow other people to host servers and have them connected together. Eg 10 physical machines with gameservers, they are automatically added to you're Wippien, and voila, 10 physical machine worths of gameservers available to the public. Link to comment
gadenh 0 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I want to ask why the progress isn't save for the missions :? btw these servers are great I've been searching for such thing for a long time thanks Link to comment
Baaleos 0 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Its just a guess, But I think it might be cause the games are set to 'Free Mode' Which may mean that the quests reset. Link to comment
gadenh 0 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Could you make one campaign server for the original campaigns ? Link to comment
Baaleos 0 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 I've added an extra 5 gameservers for sacred classic campaign. Will try to get round to adding another 10 for underworld campaign and pvp Link to comment
stubbie 21 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Please excuse my ignorance with matters when it comes to servers and such, but are any of these servers hardcore? Link to comment
Dobster 39 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Has anybody managed to get this working with win7 64 bit? doing a bit of reading about Wippien, it seems it doesn't work with it. That would explain why I can't connect Link to comment
Baaleos 0 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 I've added a game server for each gameplay type at each difficulty. All 20 of them are showing now for me and another player who was testing them out for me. I'm unsure why Dob n llama8 are having problems connecting, it seems to b a Wippien problem specific to them. :-( Link to comment
Baaleos 0 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Have u tried comparability mode? Link to comment
Baaleos 0 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hey all, I did a google. Windows 7 64bit does work, it just has some complicated instructions. http://peer.wippien.com/forum.php?action=view&topic=1288415825 Sometimes I forget that I am on windows xp 64bit and have had Wippien installed for yonks Link to comment
Baaleos 0 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 @ stubble These game servers do not allow for hardcore mode, as the characters are stored on you're own pc. Link to comment
Dobster 39 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Llama is on XP so it must be some other issue. All we get is the message "VPN not established yet" Thanks so much for setting this up Baaleos, hopefully we can figure out whats going wrong. Link to comment
Baaleos 0 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) @ Dobster Are you on a 64bit operating system? That includes XP64 Bit. If so, you too will need to use the special instlal instructions to get the wippien adapter/ip address working. Anyone having connection problems, please post the following. 1. Operating System 2. Are you running Wippien as admin etc 3. Behind a router? 4. If behind a router, are you set up as far as port forwarding and dmz goes? Note for router users. Although I dont have any problems with routers and wippien not working together, it may be necessary to set your gaming pc to be on a dmz or to set up portforwarding for port 5222 (wippien login port) Edited March 13, 2011 by Baaleos Link to comment

Baaleos 0 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Note Dobster and I have been working at this for a while, and narrowed his problem down to what appears to be his Service Provider. He can ping the server, but the server is unable to ping him, which I believe is stopping him from receiving the server list/response. If anyone has any problems, please post 1.Operating System (32bit or 64bit) 2. Service Provider 3. Type of Router Link to comment

Baaleos 0 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 For anyone interested The required/Suggested version to join these servers is v2.28 Just in case anyone tries to join, and get a 'Wrong Version' error. Link to comment
Baaleos 0 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 For anyone on Windows 7 and are having problems seeing the game servers. There is a known issue with windows 7, where it keeps network data from different networks, segregated etc. to fix this, you need to do the following. Run regedit Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} Underneath you should see several keys labeled 0000, 0001, 0002 etc… Look through these and find the VMware adapters. They will probably be near the end of the list if you just installed VMware. For each of the VWware adapters, add a new DWORD value named “*NdisDeviceType” and set it to 1 (make sure you get the * at the beginning of the name, I missed that the first time). Disable and Enable each of the network adapters. That should take care of the problem. Setting *NdisDeviceType to 1 causes Windows to ignore the device when it does network identification. Here is an MSDN article with more details. Taken from http://robboek.com/2008/12/18/vmware-unidentified-network-issue-in-vista-and-windows-server-2008-fix/ more info here http://toastedcheesenips.blogspot.com/2010/12/merry-christmas-here-have-wippien-x64.html Link to comment
