Madmatt Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hi everyone! Due to persistent issues on our former server, we have recently moved the lobby system to a new server. Unfortuantly, for people that already have the game, there is no way for us to automatically change your games configuration to SEE this new server. However, by performing the steps listed below you should be able to connect and play on the new server. The change involves editing a single config file and we are going to try and make this as painless as possible for you. Here is the process to manually edit your "servers.config" file (located in your Down in Flames "bin" folder) so that it can connect to the new server. To do so, browse into you Down in Flames game folder, then open the "bin" folder and then open the "servers.config" file with Windows notepad and edit it so that is looks like this (just the text below the 'code:' line) </font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"><servers> <server name="BFC" address="downinflamesgames.com" port="8080" default="true"/> </servers> </pre> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentAce Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yo Matt, Been a fair while since I last played DIF but as I have been at a loose end last few days I decided to have a fly. I cannot of course connect to the server and your above info makes as much sense as chinese would to me. This is what my server.config file reads as on Notepad, please tell me in english that an idiot like me can easily understand. <servers> <server name="BFC" address="downinflamesonline.com" port="8080" default="false"/> </servers> Thanks SilentAce.

SilentAce Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Ok ignore my last post this old fart managed to work it out. I do though have another query. I have this game on the older of my 2 machines and wondered how I go about putting on my newer machine. Although it was a long time ago I am fairly sure I purchased the full monty for the game and wondered if there was a link I could go to that would let me download the install to my new machine. Regards, SilentAce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentAce Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Im on a roll... I managed to find the email I got when I bought the game and from there it was easy to re-download the game. I got it all up and running and have my full roster of experienced pilots but it wont allow me to update their pictures with the ones I used before. Any ideas how to sort this as I get an error whenever I try to. SilentAce. (And no I dont think I can solve this one ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ph0enix Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I know this is a really old thread - but, I have just reinstalled DiF \ EF after many years of not being able to find the disk!!! I cant get this server change to work - can you make it a bit clearer as to where the changes to the config files begin and end for me? Or have the servers changed again? I'm really keen to get into a campaign, but until I can connect to a server, thats not going to happen!! Hope you can help, Cheers, SJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
