Anyone got some tutorial they can show me to help me set this one up? One of my Community Administrators wants it bad and I need to get it up before he blows the entire server up...

Ahh!! RVS AHH!!!

Well, I think you just download the dedicated server and edit server.ini and ravenshield.ini

yep thats about it

Your on a windows box, yes????

Yep. Windows all the way.

Get your hands on Firedaemon, then use it to run your RVS server as a service.

Remember, due to bad use of multihoming by UBI you will only be able to run off the servers default IP
Only servers with the default port 7777 will allow players to join via IP. ingame browser & a third party application (ASE etc)
All other servers using different ports 7778, 7779 etc players may only join via ingame browser.

PS
FireDaemon the free version only allows one service, you will nee to purcase the pro version to run more than one instance.
I highly recomend it.
I thing FarCry here can get you a good price on it.

i indeed can get a good price on it but i wont be giving the discounts out anymore. Just buy it off the FireDaemon webstore or get it free with GameHost CP

If you need any assistance on this. Shoot me an email. Ive got 5 instances of Raven Shield running now with no problems. Late.

Old News: That Admin left and we shut it down. It's buggy and leaked RAM.

lol 3 different threads. I think the admin should merge them together.

Congrats to you sir you figured out how to host a 5 year old game...

Howdy X-Treme. Long time. Hope your business is doing well.

Hey Kevin! Good to hear from you again!

Same stuff here. Getting abused by the kids everyday, Thought I'd stop by and see what everyones up to.

Good to see that nothing has changed.

The game is not 5 years old.

Damn, It feels like 5 years has went by.. Maybe I'm getting old..



Good catch Jesse. And nice to hear from you again

Is there like a new ravenshield out or something because why have all of these posts suddenly popped up in the last few days.

Its also posted on www.raven-shield.com , on the forums.

Yeah one of X-Gamings clients was talking about that when I was on vent with him. Sounds good that they are keeping the series going. I might actually buy this one as from what I have heard of RVS3 it is very good. I just choose to leave the hosting for it to people like X-Gaming Uses up to much resources for me all though I may choose to hose RVS4 if it comes out.

Don't get your hopes up too much.. RVS 4 is still being developed by UBI so I don't assume anything will change drastically server side..

I suppose.Thats the good thing about grey matter as they are supposed to be reworking the maps to try and reduce the usage when they release a patch for UO.
