Master Server Down

#1 We do not have an ETA on when the master server will be available.

#2 I've been thinking a while about whether or not I wanted to publically it or not, but I've decided why not. I have setup a master server that the community could use for now since GarageGames do have much higher priorities to deal with at this time. The master server is: master.dottools.net:28002.

Configuring Torque Game Engine (TGE)

Edit TGE_1_5_2/example/MOD/server/defaults.cs and after this line

$pref::Master[0] = "2:master.garagegames.com:28002";

Insert this line below it:

$pref::Master[1] = "2:master.dottools.net:28002";

Note that MOD means a modification or game directory such as starter.fps or starter.racing for example. And you might have to modify your TGE_1_5_2/example/MOD/client/prefs.cs file and insert the dottools.net master server after the garagegames.com entry just like it was explained above.

Configuring Torque Game Engine Advanced (TGEA)

I haven't used this Torque engine personally, but I would assume that it could be configured similarly to TGE.

Configuring Torque 3D (T3D)

This is pretty much the same for TGE except different path. Edit your game project's game/core/scripts/server/defaults.cs file and after this line

$pref::Master[0] = "2:master.garagegames.com:28002";

Insert this line below it:

$pref::Master[1] = "2:master.dottools.net:28002";

Note that you might have to modify your game/scripts/client/prefs.cs file and insert the dottools.net master server after the garagegames.com entry just like it was explained above.


After following these directions then your game clients and servers will still try to communicate with garagegames's master server, but it will fall back and use my master server for the time being. Whenever garagegames's master server comes back online it will have priority over mine from what I understand how multiple master server work when communicating with game clients, but servers will still heartbeat to both for maximum visibility.

Enjoy! :)

#3 Thanks for the info! I've been directing people to the TT forums to add the secondary server information and get up and running. We still have no ETA on when or if we will be able to run a master server.

#4 It seems to be working for TOB, via Query IRC. It isn't working for joining the master server, though. Any tips?

#5 My realm-wars modded server is back up now, thanks...

I have 2 servers up, one in LA and TX...

#6 Nice! The game looks awesome Jack. Are you going to work with the newer stuff released recently?

#7 I don't know, are you talking about T3D?
