HI, i checked out your site and the own server thing sounds bad ass so i downloaded 1.4 to check it out but dont know how to run the DOL server, i have SI and old daoc installed downloaded 1.4 started both game and login server running, login.dat,update.dat,camelot.exe to desktop, clicked the camelot.exe nothin happen:( can anyone help fillin the blanks on how i can get the game to run? thanks for the help

install server, start server

create a batch file in your game directory
put this line in the batch file:
@start game.dll 127.0.0.1 10300 anyusername anypassword

double click the bat to start the game.

how do i make a batch file?

Open notepad and type in:

@start game.dll 127.0.0.1 10300 anyusername anypassword

Then save the file as DOL.bat
(note: Replace "anyusername" with the username you want and "anypassword" with the password you want)
Double click on it and enjoy.

ok i made a .bat file and put :@start game.dll 127.0.0.1 10300 anyusername anypassword inside the batch file when i type dol.bat to run it it says i couldnt find the game.dll file or any of its componits, so i looked for the files and there, there i have too of them one under isles and other under camelot anyone have a clue why the ms-dos isnt picking it up?

you have to put the .bat file into you si dir

ok sorry for all the questions, but ive made a dol.bat file with @start game.dll 127.0.0.1 10300 anyusername anypassword and ive put it into the camelot dir, but now when i double click the short cut i made it says as following: No application is associated with the specified file. Create an association by using Explore...... how do i do this or what did i do wrong to get this? thanks for the help guys

that means you probably have a bad game.dll file, patch up to the latest version (the normal way)

ok i downloaded the recent patch version still no luck:( anyone have any ideas?

A friend of mine had teh same trouble when she tried to connect to a DOL server on her main computer. But on her laptop everything worked just fine.
My guess its something buggy with your windows.

ok i downloaded the recent patch version still no luck:( anyone have any ideas?

you have a win 98 or win ME? the @start comand run only on win NT platform (win 2000, win xp, win nt, win 2003)









PS: sorry for my english but i am italian

try to rename game.dll to game.exe

try to rename game.dll to game.exe

no..

no?

rename to an exe, then change your bat file to game.exe ip port user pass

yeah im running windows ME.......what should i do?
