MORE HELP AT THE STARSIEGE DISCORD

[Angel-A (Sunny D)]

Hey, just putting out a notice that there is a Starsiege Discord!

All you have to do is go to discord.gg/bkmn6cU and register an account. We have the latest game patches, downloads for all files in a huge archive, daily chats and community activity, and integrated voice chat.

Again, just go to discord.gg/bkmn6cU ... If you have any questions you can also reply to this thread.

Since the last link has been invalidated due to admin intervention, here is another one.

I am slightly confused. On the Mercs web site you have a master.cs that has this in it:

$Inet::Master1 = "IP:starsiege.noip.us:29000"; // Eye's Master Server
$Inet::Master2 = "IP:southerjustice.dyndns-server.com:29000"; // southerjustice Master Server
$Inet::Master3 = "IP:dustersteve.ddns.net:29000"; // DusterSteve's Master Server (
$Inet::Master4 = "IP:starsiege.from-tx.com:29000";

but there is a different one on the SS Discord pinned at the top that has this in it instead:

$Inet::Master1 = "IP:master1.starsiege.io:29000"; // Jenetrix's Master
$Inet::Master2 = "IP:master2.starsiege.pw:29000"; // Wilzuun's Master
$Inet::Master3 = "IP:master3.starsiege.io:29000"; // Jenetrix's Backup Master

I take it two separate groups of people are running master servers that are on different addresses from each other. The players in Green Demon's Overrun server (which I can see using either master.cs) say they are using the Mercs master.cs, but they can not see my server. When I use the Mercs master.cs I also can't see my server, but I can see it and log in fine using the one from Discord with the Jenetrix/Wilzuun addresses in it. I also notice it takes much much longer for the server list to do it's thing when I choose multiplayer/join game using the master.cs from Mercs vs the instant server populating using the Discord master.cs. They have differences besides the server addresses too, like different numbers at the bottom for timeout, etc.

If there are multiple, completely different, master servers being run and one group can't see the servers of the other group, I take it then that there are multiple groups of players who can't see servers with players because their master.cs does not match

Hmm got this answer in the Discord chat:

@bdu Ares 3 out of 4 masters from mercs is dead.

The masters listed in here are hosted on dedicated VPNs. Theirs, if working, are hosted from home.
[7:31 AM]
@bdu Ares if it's working, starsiege.pw/servers lists all the known working masters. And all games that are being hosted on any of them.

In short, we intentionally don't use the mercs master because their system is broken.
