Many questions.
« on: April 19, 2010, 05:42:29 AM »
You show multiple dedicated servers in multiple locations. Are all of those servers colocated or are you renting them? (i.e. is the French server yours, or are you renting it through an external company?)

Does each dedicated server have a single public IP, with the (many) game servers running on it being served on different ports? If this is the case, and you're using TCAdmin to change the server config files, what keeps someone from editing their gameserver to use the same port as an existing gameserver? (Warband is a good example of this.)

Does the customer have the option of running auxillary executables in the same folder as their gameserver? For instance, if I had an modification that required a second .exe to be run along with the server .exe, would this be possible?

We have a mixture of rented and co-located servers currently.  Whatever was the best performance  option we could afford at the time is what we went with.  In France, the servers only have one IP so we rely on different ports.  Games that don't allow changing of ports, we just buy a new box :P
All of our US servers provide a unique IP address for the game, so it's on the default port.
Currently Warband doesn't have a way of setting the IP to use, so it's on a sequential port numbering system.

Uploading .exe files is not allowed, and running a 2nd .exe would not be possible without setting up a special service for it.  We've made a few exceptions to this in the past as long as we have the source code, it passes a virus scan, and it won't disrupt other services.

The rest of the answers are sent via email.
