I don't think the solution is as simple as doing webcom_postserver(); over and over again. --- End quote --- This is what I was thinking, because the console window clearly says that it is posting to the master server and RTB server. I'm not sure if webcom_postserver(); even does anything right now. EDIT: All webcom_postserver(); run the same command that it runs every couple minutes, posting to the master server and RTB server. You can still only access the server through IP. Is there a specific reason behind the server just leaving the server list? |

Maybe in WINE on the Windows version something similar occurs. |

If it really matters enough and is that much of a problem, use a different OS. |

The Linux community will be less inclined to purchase a program that is shareware too, since Linux is a community devoted to the sharing of free software. Seems like a waste of time to me, especially since the few people that want it in Linux seem to get along well enough with WINE. --- End quote --- Actually, in the HIB#2 the average payment for Linux was the double of the average Mac OS X and Windows payments. Anyway, I can confirm that the little I have tested Blockland under wine, it has worked. |
