whats wrong with xp on v2

If you use V1 files in V2 it doesn't translate well, if you use Hex/Hexed this is already done. Any other files you will need to fix. You need to put DONOTCALCULATELEVEL or something close to that on top of your monster.ini to stop it from auto-calculating monster levels. Then you must adjust the life/level ratio for your monsters so that is scales appropriately for higher levels.

I just posted RPGWO on IndieDb.com.

Getting complaints that it is a virus so I think I need veterans to go there and post comments to support that it is clean or something.

Maybe I need to get it signed or something?

are you planning to open a new server or is that just a thing for V6?  I only ask because you included the V2 download on there and ganymede has molds...

You probably need an Authenticode cert. Non-ancient/EOL versions of Windows will try to block unsigned binaries from executing with a "potentially unsafe" fullscreen overlay.

You will need to sign any exes that come in contact, this includes updater, client, setup


Unsigned exe from any internet source spawns this

I can only find the V6 page of which I wont justify as not being a virus.

Raikaria explained it nicely and it's similar to what I have seen in other indie games where the developers use java for example but have not digitally signed their code or verified the authentication and integrity thus leading to a situation where users have trouble running the application because their anti-virus or firewall prevents the program from running. It's a form of extortion for sure, "pay us money so we can say your thing is safe" but I think you're well aware it may be required to do this.

For what it's worth I at least upvoted your comments and down voted the negative ones.

I see download links to both V2 and V6 installers on his page, obviously the main point of his post is to advertise for V6 though.

It's less av/fw for java, but java itself will block unsigned applications are blocked by default. Applications signed by an untrusted entity (like yourself instead of a third party vouched code cert) are also blocked by default.

I use Comodo for my authenticode certs, usually about £50/yr

[Mickey Kudlo]

Yeah I saw for me Comodo the cheapest at $80 yr, with others up to $200 yr. Not sure it worth it right now since it still in Alpha version. Maybe when it hits Beta... in 5 years, heh.

BTW, looks like I been working on V5/V6 for 3 years now. V6 server used the V5 server code as a base plus images from V5.
