[Chinku]

i tried making a duel arena with only 2 races and 2 planets(yes i read alberts post)
i changed the sf_data_planets, sf_bmp_planets, sf_data_races and ofcourse the .dat file

when i try to host the server the server just stands still without responding! cant figure out the problem! double checked everthing! is there any other file i must change?

[Chinku]

You forgot to edit a few other parts of the server...

Post it... I'll check it out.

You need to edit the main server dat Delete the bottom races and leave the top two races as is with the planet races... like so:
game data {
#INCLUDE sf_data_game.sec

[Tovec]

I don't feel like reading the past posts. I am referring to the last one made by Duke_Name. What is the difference between the orignal and the change? I am guessing there are 2 planets - Earth and Venus.

[Duke Name]

Arcean needs a home planet

Arcean under his note is Titan... and under my version it would be Venus...

If he deleted Titan and Venus is the only default planet by his dat.... then it would be hard and it gets an error

[Tovec]

Missed the homeplanet change. All I saw was the other bit of 2 planets and (Earth,Venus) yeah ok I get you.

On a side note. Is it just me or do you keep getting more stars on your name?

Nevermind. I just noticed the SHOP section.

[Duke Name]

no I still have 10 stars

[Chinku]

i get the problem
i'll change it report back ty

[Chinku]

negative server.exe still stalls
heres what i changed:
Arcean 0 Venus 20 0 170 0.50 0.5 5000 60 "hold 2 planets for 5 minutes"

u suggested including titan instead of venus but that would involve changing everything so i made homeplanet of arcean venus
hope that wont be a problem

[Duke Name]

hold 2 planets has also been changed check the post
