Official VOR Game?

[Whitelighter]

Are any of you still planning on taking part in the non-paying Scuttlebutt league in the official VOR game?

I cant get Sailonline at work

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

might do...... but finding sailonline pretty time consuming!

 

[fireball]

again might do .... although there is supposed to be an online version of Sailonline becoming available .... if you join sailonline (small annual sub) there is a mobile client too ...
Sailonline have got it right insofar as you can pre-programme course changes in the standard FREE version .... it includes both the sail to course and sail to wind - the latter requires a paid for addition in the "Offical" VOR game ...

If I stick with sailonline, I may join, so that I can get the mobile client..... its not actually a client, but an optimised web page for GPRS access..... does everything the main client does except doesn't have wind forecasts, or allow a delayed command....

 

[Whitelighter]

I know all this, but I cant even get on the website at work because in the meta deat it has game details in the tag and it gets instantly filtered.

Oh well, have a good race.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Sigh..... I know the problems only too well..... I can't install the client or visit the site either when in the office, or using my company computing.....

 

[fireball]

I _could_ set up a relay or a proxy .... with a fixed ip address .... ?

Just heard, web based client due in a week which should pass firewalls, so you may hav eto wait until the second leg to join in from work!

 

[fireball]

do you know what port the client uses? I could go and block them all and log it, but it's easier to ask!! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[TigaWave]

Now you've lost me...?????

 

[fireball]

If you just ask the question and tell us what they say!! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

It's all straight HTTP over port 80. The problem with the old client is that it cannot pick up IE automatic proxy settings (proxypacs), the new client should handle it since flash sends all request through the browser.

For more info on ip:s etc please msg me.

THanks! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Nobody has asked for a proxy or relay yet, but if it is all on port 80 then it is a doddle!! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Dipper]

Oi! I have no idea what you are talking about but it sounds like cheating to me. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

 

[fireball]

Ah yes ... finding out which ports they use, to make sure I can get my ground crew there before yours ... /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

It's a more techie question on how the client connects to the server - as some ppl have restrictions in place .... I have none of these restrictions and am more than happy to help a couple connect if they cannot get round it themselves ....
