Password protection on the multiplayer game server

[Ledg]

How do I do this? Specifying a login/password in the sds file produces an error  (ERROR INET thread: MIS_REQUEST_FAILED: MIST_LOGIN)

 

Thanks.

The login/password parameters refer to the DServer credentials that log your DServer onto the master server. These can be your game credentials (provided that you do not start the game) or the credentials that you created for the free stand-alone DServer that you can obtain separately. Also, make sure that you specify the proper credentials, in the proper format (login = "myemail@xx.yy" and password = "mypassword"). If in doubt, set up the credentials in the DServer interface, in the login/password fields.

Is that a step I need to take in order to provide a password protected server for others to join? Does it prompt me for a password to provide to other players?

 

And since I have you, I can't seem to find a way to put the text onto the map into the mission waypoints that I create in my coop missions. IE Length of leg, compass heading, alt. I see that text in other missions I have flown.

 

Thanks for all your resources.

No, the step I described is how you login to the master server. You specify the password that others use to login to your server in the sds file protection parameter or in the DServer interface Protection field. For details, see Chapter 11 of the editor guide.

 

Waypoint triggers are not shown on the map. Instead, place icon translators at each waypoint and target link them in the same fashion as the waypoints. In Line Type, choose Position Type 1 or Position Type 2.
