I finally got everything working on my IPJOINER (V3). The manual and saved server are working fine now. Here are some tips on getting it setup. (This worked for me, but I give no garuentee it will work for you, so be sure to back up game first!)

A> Start all over! (Some trouble you may be having can be from left over files from previous versions or installs.)
1> Goto folder GAME\CLIENT\SCRIPTS\
2> Delete ALL FILES and FOLDERS with the text IP in it.
3> In folder THINK TANKS, Open files named MAIN.CS.
(READ CAREFULLY PLEASE) Delte any lines trying to load IPJoiner.
- The lines will start with exec("game/client/scripts/
- AND will have IPJOIN in it somewhere.
EXAMPLES :
exec("game/client/scripts/IPJoinmain.cs");
exec("game/client/scripts/IPJoiner/IPJoinerMain.cs");

B> Reinstall Version 3 ( http://h1.ripway.com/frankou8it/ipjoiner3.zip )
1> Goto folder GAME\CLIENT\SCRIPTS\
2> Create a folder Named IPJOINER in the folder SCRIPTS
3> Open IPJOIN 3 ZIP file and extract contents into new folder IPJOINER
4> In folder THINK TANKS, Open files named MAIN.CS
5> At bottom of file add this line.
exec("game/client/scripts/IPJoiner/IPJoinerMain.cs");
Close and save changes.

C> Test loading of scripts.
1> Load think thanks. At play online screen : You should see a button thats says "Join IP" Click this button.
2> you should have two things listed.
Join an IP - Click this to manually join an IP.
Test Server - This is just an example server.
3> Select "Join an IP" and click JOIN
4> Delte text "IP:PORT" in window. Type in 204.11.32.227:28020 and click OK.
5> If the game loads, then you are cofigured correctly, if not....review the above steps or seek more help.

D> Add saved servers.
1> Goto folder GAME\CLIENT\SCRIPTS\IPJOINER\
2> Open file named IPJoinerPreferences.cs (NOT THE ONE LISTED AS A DSO FILE!)
3> It should look like this.

//Art Crazy's IP Joiner Code File
//v3.0
//Preferences:
$IPJoiner::AutoSaver::Keybind = "alt p";

$IPJoiner::SaveIP[1] = "192.168.1.1:28000";
$IPJoiner::SaveName[1] = "Test Server";

4> Delete the last two lines. (Both start with $IPJoiner::)
5> Add thsese lines to the bottom of the file. (Other servers can be found in the thread)

$IPJoiner::SaveIP[1] = "204.11.32.227:28020";
$IPJoiner::SaveName[1] = "Dash TBM";

$IPJoiner::SaveIP[2] = "204.11.32.227:28021";
$IPJoiner::SaveName[2] = "Dash SCRUM";

$IPJoiner::SaveIP[3] = "71.241.121.19:28012";
$IPJoiner::SaveName[3] = "CB TBM";

6> Close and save changes.
7> Load Think Tanks and goto Join IP button. The above 3 servers should now be listed.

Good luck! I hope this helps out some of you!

Also note : From now on while on a server, press ALT P to have server auto saved to your server list.

Exactly...

The syntax changed dramatically on v3. The number in the brackets also starts at 1 now...

PS: PM me if the server stays down for a long time (a few days for example) and I'll start coding the master server script I've had in my mind for a long time, so one of us can host the server ;)...

Hi I would like to add my ip to the joiner list here it is

$IPJoiner::SaveIP[6] = "204.11.32.227:28021";
$IPJoiner::SaveName[6] = "T-Bone";

^ Wait a minute, why do I keep seeing that same IP address for different servers?

Tutorial to create a masterserver

It'd be much simpler to code a master server in full TSL and PHP... If we ever need it, leave it to me... I got all the ideas in my head already!

$IPJoiner::SaveIP[3] = not working"ENC14379C95DD392AE1B0452353AFC7F2E9893B1BB9E2FAD634D065FD 252C2";
$IPJoiner::SaveName[3] = "Craps * MapsCB";

It might not work due to... Well, you created your own server and went inside your network to it, then saved. If you do that, you're actually saving 192.168.1.* range... And that wont let others joins... Think of that ;)

Dash is hosting more than 1 server from 1 computer... Same IP, different port ;)

Army of One · Post by **Army of One** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 5:38 pm

^ But how is T-Bone hosting with the same IP as Dash?

ArtCrazy · Post by **ArtCrazy** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 6:08 pm

Dash is hosting for him I guess

Even tough the port he is giving us is 28021 and is already used by Dash Scrum... he's lying.
