trenchwars.org down

[qan]

Our domain, trenchwars.org, is temporarily down.

This affects a wide range of services, including our main website, our link at server.trenchwars.org to the game server, our directory server, etc.

PriitK has been contacted and will hopefully fix this in a short amount of time. The issue is an extremely minor one based on regulations, but unfortunately does rely on him.


In the meantime, you can join the server with this IP/port (which are good to have saved anyhow):
207.148.16.165 port 5400

Or by entering another SSC zone with a crosslink set up, and using ?go tw.

I wasn't aware that Priit owned the trenchwars.org domain.
This needs to go on the todo list, along with replacing the biller, to remove our dependency on Priit.

Yep, and it's a more reasonable ask as well. His issue, as always, is feeling as though he'd be leaving things in reliable hands while knowing almost no-one.

How to add a zone to the zone list manually:
1. Open Continuum
2. Click Zones
3. Click Add Custom
4. Enter the "Zone" name, e.g. "TW"
5. Enter the "IP Address" which is 207.148.16.165
6. Enter the "Port" which is 5400
7. Press OK
8. Press OK
9. Your zone list should contain TW

Whether using Add Custom Zone or ?go TrenchWars from EG a map download is triggered.
It seems to neither recognise that I already have a folder of TW maps downloaded nor does it make a new folder in which I might copy maps to.
Reconnecting to the server sometimes remembers previously downloaded maps and sometimes doesn't, idk why.

So why doesn't he just return and while he's at it advertise for us a bit! Would be good timing. Guy definitely has outlets for advertisement.

Redownloading the zone list makes the zone green again.

Edit: but it doesn't stay green forever
Could be the easiest way to get into the zone without having to deal with map downloads tho.

Edit 2: I'm using directory servers:
sscentral.sscuservers.net sscentral.trenchwars.org

You can access twd site by skipping the home page: http://twd.trenchwars.org/squads

Still wont allow me to enter it..been trying that myself last 2 days going to squads, ladders, find player, ect. Lucky you!

Anyone have an ETA yet? Kind of thought this was going to be fixed by now

[qan]

Looks like we're back!

Looks like we're back!

I still get the ICANN page at trenchwars.org

[qan]

That's odd. I'm getting a "Hello TW" message sometimes when accessing trenchwars.org, and refreshing leads to the www subdomain.

Maybe flush DNS?

[Rab]

flushdns made no difference.
