NR-Service (Nickname Registration)

[Leo]

Ok you 2, just tell me when this works as I want to use the system. I changed host and the script I used before stopped working.

I'm very sorry enesce, but I deleted the whole wwwroot because I had been sure there were only scripts in there from back when I used to run a public server on windows there (the stats drove the scripts etc).

Unfortunately since that machine is windows, I never was able to set up a backup system for it.

What happened to this?

I couldn't play soldat for almost a year because my video card was failing and couldn't handle it. I finally upgraded a lot of hardware on my PC and reinstalled soldat.

I found an old install of NR-DynIP for Enesce's NR service but it won't work gets connection errors.

Was this scrapped or something else put in place to replace it or what? What happened?

NR-Service was closed down a very long time ago. Since then, there has been lots of scripted versions released (Search on SoldatCentral). The next version of Soldat will feature global nickname protection, though.

Thanks for the quick reply! Good to hear it is being implemented into an upcoming version.

Have you thought though of gathering logs from popular servers to create an IP database to match Nicks up with IPs to prevent people from registering as many as they can--stealing them from other people?

Or would people who registered soldat have an earlier chance at registering them?

It wouldnt be useful as the most people have dynamic ip addresses.
There is an option for registered users to bind their name to the account (so protecting them from getting stolen)

Hence why there was an auto updater.
