Assist is back online!
« on: Friday, September 13, 2013, 23:47:54 PM »
With a LOT of work from ELiZ, a new version of Assist has been rolled out. This version reverts changes that were made in previous versions. Although we have tested this version, there may be unforeseen issues so please post them in this thread.

There is a new Terms of Service Agreement that you must read and agree to in order to start Assist. This is only shown once and every time Assist gets updated. Please read it to understand what Assist does and what is and is not allowed.

Thank you all for your overwhelming support and words of encouragement!

Visit the Info page on this site for a download link.


NOTES:
Server owners will have to re-download dedicated binaries to update Assist. These can be found on the Info page as well.

Bugs/Fix
On Linux you will have to set the flag to allow it to run, same for both client and server

Have fun everyone.

In the next few days, I'll be fixing up things in the background that was not completely setup for the re release of the Auth Service.
It is things that don't affect you as players, but will improve things security wise on the server.
I'll try to make eventual downtime of the auth service at times where there are as few people logged in as possible,

DO you think it might be possible to get a setup in Assist to connect to local, especially for thos eo fo us who run server on a server in our local lan. Would be a big help f we could use assist to connect.

I'm betting that's a Linux-only problem OR a problem with your firewalls/router. I ran a test server on my local server and connected to it to play with ELiZ earlier. Worked fine.

Restarted the linux servers.  Running in unauth mode.  picker.u was sitting in the System directory, but not configured in the .ini - deleted it but still getting unauth status.  Only using SOTChatLogger.u and openslots.u

I run a pretty sophisticated router that allows me to redirect all kinds of traffic. It should be showing up to where I can join it but all I get is the red x in ping and can not join. Server is throwing up some errors not sure if affecting game play there have been 9 players on it It is the top server right now.

Shad, perhaps kill Assist and delete the aa25svr.ini?

dtruesdale, your query isn't getting to the server then. It has to go out and then come back into your external IP address. I run DD-WRT and aside from opening ports, didn't change anything.

well it wasn't SOTChatLogger.u or openslots.u, removed those both from System and from the .ini
Something is borked, the linux server directories were essentially unchanged since assist went down.  None of the servers were configured for cheats or mods before other than SOTChatLogger.u and openslots.u
It's not a mod, since now none are configured outside of what assist uses.

It has to be something in the config/files. dtruesdale has a Linux server up and other servers are popping up.

Didn't work.  Initially I edited System/aa25srv.ini for IdlePlayerKickRounds, FFScoreLimit, MaxAdmins, MaxSpectators and copied aa25srv.ini into the System/server folder which worked before. I see now that /server/aa25srv.ini gets put in each time server restarts - so maybe it's comparing the System one to the System/server one. If so, these items cannot be configured anymore?

Assist has overwritten .ini files for some time now. On a dedicated server, I'm not sure what is to be edited or not.
