So the command that I was given a long time ago to join a server (running Titans) was: sessionStorage['gameHostname'] = '"<IP>"'; sessionStorage['gamePort'] = '<port>';window.location.href = 'coui://ui/main/game/connect_to_game/connect_to_game.html?content=PAExpansion1&local=false' Ever since the last 2 patches this now has failed to work. It seems that for some reason the command no longer works as the scripts seem to have changed. The mods that rely on this command also have stopped working. Do we have an updated command to use to join by IP straight? I did some troubleshooting, and I am no coder by any stretch but....I am thinking there's an issue on passing gameHostname and gamePort onto the file that is referenced as connect_to_game.html. It doesn't seem like the information that is passed is getting to the connect_to_game.js file......
If you're online you can use the public local servers mod to send invites even if not public in server browser. https://forums.uberent.com/threads/wip-client-lobby-public-local-servers.71996/ I'll add a new mod for offline direct connect to an IP address soon.
That's cool, thank you sir. In the mean time, is there a workaround? Maybe an equivalent Coherent UI script like the one that was used before for direct connection?
So I did some more troubleshooting....and I figured out the debugger works with the game coherent UI.....which is kinda cool... So when I do the above command to connect to the game via IP on the console I get the following output and errors.... From looking at the HTML file it SEEMS like jQuery is no longer referenced in there.....which is odd.....I'm guessing it should be? I see the _trigger under the boot.js file......so it's kind of odd that the other files can't see it....

I don't know the exact cause of but it is not your issue. That error means nothing, has been around in ages and can just be ignored. I can't tell you how to fix the piece of code though, haven't had a look at PAs UI code in quite a while. The questions you need to answer is: Where does the UI code print "failed to join game 10.0.0.250 27050" and why does it do that? I.e. why does it fail?
Ok, so I did it again just to absolutely double check and here's the results I get: Code: sessionStorage['gameHostname'] = '"10.0.0.250"'; sessionStorage['gamePort'] = '27050';window.location.href =

Ok cool, thank you for the response cola_colin. I am not much of a programmer but I figured that it might have been something that looked odd. So I have attached more output from the failure from the console. The UI code print of that.....is something of a mystery. I do not know why it is saying that to be honest. The things I have noticed and troubleshot are this. I have verified connectivity to 10.0.0.250, on that port number as well (using a TCP ping on that port specifically when the PA server is running). Those all work properly. The PA server itself is working properly. The part I have verified is that my computer (that is running the PA game in full) is *NOT* sending a join request to the server on that port as it should do. I have noticed that there is absolutely no traffic that the game generates locally to send to the server. It's almost as if the game locally isn't able to establish a socket and send the information it needs to send to the server to join. However that is all speculation on my part, but I have some reason to believe that is what is happening as I don't see the TCP session even open on my local computer. Is there something I can do to help reproduce this symptom? Like a video or a screen capture?
When I load a local server on my computer, I see this....which is different than before using api.net.connect. It seems that the connect is different now than it was before.

Holy crap I figured it out.... So the command now is: Code: sessionStorage['gameHostname'] = '"10.0.0.250"'; sessionStorage['gamePort'] = '27050';window.location.href = 'coui://ui/main/game/connect_to_game/connect_to_game.html?action=start&content=PAExpansion1&local=false' Whereas the old command was: Code: sessionStorage['gameHostname'] = '"10.0.0.250"'; sessionStorage['gamePort'] = '27050';window.location.href = 'coui://ui/main/game/connect_to_game/connect_to_game.html?content=PAExpansion1&local=false' There y'all go. When you guys make the mods, please use the above command that works (the first code snippet) w00t w00t w00t w00t.....
I take it back, it doesn't seem to work. It seems to connect to a local instance when I use that and NOT the remote instance of the server....
After doing more searching, it seems that for what it's worth the parameters to pass into the "connect_to_game.html" have indeed changed. I am not quite sure what to pass into there but I believe that for things to work we need to pass the proper parameters. I'm just looking through the scripts and yeah....it's definitely not very simple for my not very programming savvy mind. Ok, so after I looked through the join script I think I see what's going on. It seems that the functionality for private dedicated servers has been taken out. It seems the API call to join a server only accepts two options... // local parameter overrides if (local) { self.isLocalGame(true); self.serverType('local'); } else if (start) { self.isLocalGame(false); self.serverType('uber'); } Either local, or uber. If it doesn't fall into one of those two then the script terminates and the join to the IP address and port specified fails. Does this mean that Uber has disallowed private dedicated servers?
There never was code that worked with "dedicated private servers", it always was a hack. Basically by setting the host:ip directly before switching into the connect scene you'd skip the resolution of those values from an uber server "lobby" id and go straight to the "connect to the server" part. With respect to the if else statement you posted: Custom servers simply don't need to do either of those things. From a quick look at the new code, they now actually do consider custom servers a little. At least those words pop up in the comments. My -blind- guess on a new command, with some new lines for better readability, is: Code: sessionStorage['gameHostname'] = '"<IP>"'; sessionStorage['gamePort'] = '<Port>'; sessionStorage['game_type'] = 'custom'; window.location.href = 'coui://ui/main/game/connect_to_game/connect_to_game.html?content=PAExpansion1&local=false' The idea here is that the if-else branch you want to get into is most likely the one around line 277 and that now checks !needsJoinGame, which is true for game_type = custom (or any other string that is not 'uber') That "needsJoinGame" seems to be about joining the game on the ubernet backend, which you simply don't need to.
Going through that it seems that the custom game type doesn't exist. A quick search doesn't yield anything as game_type = custom. I also even changed it in the sense of gameType and serverType to be 'custom' and yeah still no go. It seems that copyliu (who is AWESOME for updating his mod) has just updates his "connect via IP" mod and now it works. I verified it working now and connecting to my server... It seems that the things that needed to be set are (from the mod that copyliu so graciously has made....all props to him): Code: model.LANCONNECT=function LANCONNECT(e){ model.gameHostname(model.LANSERVERIP) model.gamePort( model.LANSERVERPORT); model.isLocalGame(true); model.serverType("custom"); model.serverSetup('game'); sessionStorage['game_content'] = '"'+model.VERSION+'"'; sessionStorage['active_content'] = '"'+model.VERSION+'"'; sessionStorage['unlocked_content'] = '"["PAExpansion1"]"'; sessionStorage['gameType'] = 'custom'; window.location.href = 'coui://ui/main/game/connect_to_game/connect_to_game.html?content='+model.VERSION; }; Now I need to see if I can figure out how to make this in that command line for the console.... The PA community is truly awesome. Thank you cola_colin and thank you to copyliu ....
It doesn't need to exist. It just needs to be not equal to "uber" and some other ladder related value.
