[Bug 375745] Re: unable to register clients with pioneers-server in jaunty

[Catalin Francu]

I am getting the same error, both with the default Ubuntu 9.04 install
of pioneers 0.12.2-4 (sudo apt-get install pioneers) or with a build
from source.

To reproduce this error:
1) Start the client
2) Press Create game
3) Press Start server
4) Press Join private game
5) Make sure the fields are set to localhost and 5556
6) Press OK

The messages frame now displays:
17:04:59 Connecting to localhost, port 5556
17:04:59 Error connecting to host 'localhost': Connection refused

Workaround:
1) Instead of localhost type 127.0.0.1

In addition, the Add Computer Player in the button does not appear to
work. It does add the players, but none of them are really connected to
the game.

[Bug 375745] Re: unable to register clients with pioneers-server in jaunty

[Catalin Francu]

I played with the pioneersai and pioneers-server-console a little and
I've managed to start a single-player game against 3 computer players,
as follows:

1) Start the server GUI as usual
2) In 3 different terminals, type

pioneersai -s 127.0.0.1 -n Peter
pioneersai -s 127.0.0.1 -n Paul
pioneersai -s 127.0.0.1 -n Mary

3) Start the client and join a private game with hostname 127.0.0.1 and
port 5556
