I don't think you are able to run gameservers on our website hosting.

I'd like to know what he's talking about.

We had a service called x10gaming but it has been discontinued.

Oh, I know all about x10Gaming. Just ask Corey. ;-)

 

[ehiagwina]

well i have successfully uploaded the files and the site is working

i just need to get the crons to work

 

[KowKing]

x10Gaming was based on dedicated server with remote desktop. The games that were played were 3D (Wolfenstein, for example) and the server only ran the 'server' files provided by the game publisher.

You, however, can't do this on x10Hosting unless you have access to the server's desktop.

my game is not 3d game

it is a text based game

and i just need to work my crons on my cron jobs

Theres ways around that. The cool part? Doesn't violate the TOS at all - don't use games that require a server to be running, use a browser based game that uses cronjobs and php/asp/some sort of server-side processing

1000AD is an older one like that. Text-based stats war, definitely possible on X10. I'm still working on an rpg engine that would (surprisingly) not require a cronjob at all, but thats a bit more work than I anticipated and my head is already swelling from the headache -_-'


As for if anyone's already running one, I seem to recall 2 or 3 suspended accounts this week because users had cron's going every minute, so I would bet SOMEONE is somewhere, just dunno who


Edit: well I guess technically Apache is the gameserver in this case then, but you get the idea. Doesn't require anything X10 doesn't already allow users to do. Could cause a server load problem if it gets insanely popular but if it's coded well it'll take a while to get there
