New I.P. Address (for the last time!)

[Lamron]

My internet when down for a while last night. When it came back, I was assigned a new I.P. address. This doesn't happen very often, but when it does its pretty annoying. It requires fixing the server monitor settings, changing the Client Fix server join button, and everyone's desktop shortcuts.

So I set up a DNS redirect that will always send you to the right server address. It automatically updates, so any future changes shouldn't cause any problem.

The new server I.P. address is: LP.selfip.org


You can use this anywhere you would normally use a numbered I.P. address. So the new desktop shortcut looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\moh_spearhead.exe" +connect lp.selfip.org


There is a new version of the Client Fix available for download on the main website that fixes the "Go To Lamron's Playground" button. It shouldn't be necessary to ever do this again.

The old file was named:

zzzzzLP-ClientFix-V11b.pk3

The new file is named:

zzzzzLP-ClientFix-V11c.pk3


YOU MUST REMOVE THE OLD FILE ! Someone is going to complain that it doesn't work, and its going to turn out that they didn't delete the old version. It happens everytime there is an update. Don't be that guy!

As if it wasn't bad enough now you add pressure to it.
