You're too quick!

Assist tells you that you don't have mAAp installed and when you click OK it goes through checking authorization and whatnot then launches the normal AA menu.

Since I had a hard time getting my server going, I'm listing out a few things that can help others get theirs going. This is what I did:

Forwarded Incoming UDP Ports:
1716, 1717

Allowed Outgoing UDP Ports:
20046, 20047, 27900

Unblocked IP's in PeerBlock:
63.142.94.250
66.36.231.175
66.117.38.134 - US Army
66.180.170.20
69.10.30.0 - 69.10.30.255 - IGN
188.165.212.209
204.15.228.214
208.88.178.59
209.123.205.212

The 4 red IP's were needed for the server to show up in the browser. The rest were accessing my server at ports 1716-1718 so they wanted something with my AA server.

*EDIT*
I was just looking at my server on PBall and saw there was 10 people in it so I thought I would do a check on how much CPU, memory and bandwidth is required for that. Here's what I got:





At the second half of the bandwidth graph, people started to leave, it was down to about 4 people at that time. I think it's safe to say that for a 10 slot server, you need a minimum of 128MB available memory, a single-core CPU running at 1.5GHz or higher and 500kbps upload. Keep in mind, PBall has physics which puts extra load on the server so for a 1mbps upload internet connection, you should be able to host a 20-26 slot server, depending on the other computers on your network. Maybe these stats will give other people a rough idea of how well their server will perform.

Even though using the editor is a copyright infringement, I don't really want to add copyrighted music to the game. The in-game usage has to outweigh the download size IMO and custom music wouldn't.

I think it might be cool to add random snipers, random weapons and killing spree to Assist for a server option. I have the mods right here with the source code:

Thoughts?

Glad you got it sorted out!

Do people still seriously use XFire anymore?

clearly win7 x64

Windows aren't transparent so it could be XP with a Windows 7 skin.
