Dynaverse.Net given the Directory Servers for SFC3

[FA Frey XC]

Dynaverse.Net has obtained the Directory Servers for SFC3.

As of tonight, the directory services are up and running.

You can download the Directory Services patch HERE : ftp://ftp.dynaverse.net/sfc3/Patches/sfc3_directory_server_updater.exe

Just copy and paste that into a browser if the direct link doesn't work for some reason and you should be downloading.

We'd like to thank S31-IKV and our un-named benefactor for their invaluable support in this endeavor, it couldn't have been done without ya'll !

Regards,

Frey

Nice job Gents!!

Mabe one day those who have the source code and tools for our SFC games might realize that they will be safe in the D.net hands.

Agreed!!! This game(s) is deep enough that it could be a Trek franchise unto itself, IMO. 

[GFL Offkey]

THANKS!!!!A MILLLION!!!!! The Legions at War Dynaverse will continue where it left off so come join its a blast

[Capt Jeff]

Don't even play D3 anymore and all I have to say is WOW !!


Thanks a lot to Frey and everyone else who made it possible to keep SFC going, no matter which version you might enjoy !

Good news, currently I see only 2 servers after patching game, should there be more (GFL and so on)?

[GFLMyComputerMan]

The gfl does not have their server up.
I'm sure we'll have it back up shortly.
Our server PC seems to be unaccessible at the moment...

[F9thRyker]

Frey, and the others who've managed to pull this off...


... thank you. 

[FA Frey XC]

Ya'll. while I appreciate the sentiments, this was by far a community thing.

We're honoured that most in the community believe D.Net the place to have the SFC3 Directory servers run, and we'll do our part.

Now you have to do yours... HAVE A BLAST and play !

Regards,

Frey

P.S. Any of you SFC3 Campaign Admins feel free to contact me if you've modified your serverkit to list on the new directory services.  I'd like to know specific steps in exactly what you did in regards to changes on the .gf's for documentation purposes.

On behalf of The GFL Romulan Star Empire I would like to thank all involved in this.

[FA Frey XC]

Heh, well, like I said, it wasn't just me... I cannot take even close to full credit on this.

Let me just say this - there are people who obviously really care about this community (the entire community, not EAW , not OP, not SFC3 - everyone!), and we should ALL keep that in mind.

Say a prayer, burn some incense, whatever you do to thank those people. We're just here @ D.Net to serve the community and make sure no one makes you PAY to play any of these awesome games. And just to state it incase some one doesn't know - of course the SFC3 Directory servers will be hosted FOR FREE, there will NEVER be a charge or a "pay to play" thing here @ D.Net.

'Cause that's the way we roll.

Regards,

Frey

[Strayy]

Well done, Adm... Very well done indeed !!!

[KBF-Kurok]

good news indeed thanks to everyone involved

[DrPhoton]

Good news and congratulations are in order.  I'm especially impressed by  Frey's sweeping commitment to keep the dynaverse available to all members of the community and to promise never to charge for access to play there.  Cheers.

[Strayy]

Just a note... I downloaded the sfc3 directory server beta patch....  ran it to a seperate folder, then copied & pasted the new access server gf to the C:\Program Files\Activision\Sfc3\MetaAssets\ClientSettings folder,
then started the sfc3 server with no changes to any files,  started sfc3... and everything connected without a glitch....  servers were up & running, and the access server connection & login time was much shorter....

D.net does it again!!!!   u guys are incredible !!!!!

[Occidio]

lotta love for the guys at dyna.net for making a great thing even better by bringing it home where it belongs

[Thunderhawk]

Its definitely a faster connection   I was able to log on to the dynaverse successfully, but I came back a little later and i kept getting stuck on the 90 second countdown. It would get down to the 30 second countdown and just stayed there. I even let it sit there for about 5 minutes and it still did nothing.  Has anyone experienced that?  I'm definitely glad to see that we will still be able to play SFC3, and I too, am very grateful for those responsible for bringing the game back.

[worfhonour]

Hi,
Aint got new path yet, but well done to all on the Dynaverse.net.

Give me a few week and i'll  make a regular donation to you great set of people.

Send me a message has to how i can do this please.

I suppose the SFC3 game has finally come home.

As written in the 'Unchained Melody'   "Lonely rivers flow to the sea to the sea" "Lonely rivers flow into the open arms of the sea" "Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me wait for me"

Well done again.

Hey fellas, Im kinda having a problem getting onto the new dynaverse. Way earlier today, I had logged in with no problems, and then a couple of hours after that and still now, I get the 90 second countdown. It countdowns to 30 and then does nothing else. I havent tried to adjust my router settings or anything. Spent hours trying to log in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[snap]

On behalf of the members of Alternate Universe I would like to say thank you for getting the Dynaverse so we can all can continue you to enjoy and play the game that we all love.

I had similar problem, works after I tried this (if you use router, if not this will not help):

Note: You can place the following line in your SFC.ini file at the end under the META section. If you're using Network Address Translation (most people behind routers are) then it will greatly speed up the DirectPlay Test as it will check your external IP address first. This will keep you from having to update your IP address in the ini file, since most people addresses are dynamically assigned by the ISP and can change anytime.

Just a note to all you folks out there on the D3, should the access server for some reason go down (Happens once in a blue moon) just send a PM to Frey or myself.  Either one of us can get in there and give it a kick.

[GFLRUBIN]

<S> 

Great Job!!   Thanks for all the hard work

Respects Rubin

[Thunderhawk]

Hey Suomela, I certainly appreciate your help being able to log into the dynaverse again. I put that "BehindNAT=1" line in my sfc.ini file and it works great. Thanks a million.

[worfhonour]

Hello,

Ok, you folks know I am not the sharpes knife in the box regarding this changing settinsgs stuff. 

How do you open the sfc.ini file? 

Worfy
