Cannot connect services

Post by N0valyfe »

Ok, i'm new to ircd's ect so don't start telling me i should have read docs, because i have, and i've had the server working with services fine, it's just i've been reading the documentation and applying some settings ect.

I came across this setting:
set::options::flat-map;
If this is present, all servers will appear as directly linked in /map and /links, thus you can no longer see which server is linked to which. This is a little help against (D)DoS attacks because evil people now no longer can easily see the 'weak points'.
So yeah i applied that, thinking everything is fine, my services stop working, i check /links my services.blah has gone, now i know it was meant to be hidden with this option, so i thought "hey this is why my services arn't working" so i've taken "set::options::flat-map;" out of my config file, rehashed and everything, the services.blah hasent turned up in the /links at all, even though "set::options::flat-map;" isnt in the file. I've went over my services file and my config file loads of times checking if everything is in order and still it wont connect, now i read somewhere that flat-map isn't supported in the latest version. So i'm guessing its bugged or something and it wont disable? How do i fix this.

Edit i'm also getting this error when i try "/connect services"
[21:03:56] -84.19.119.27- *** Connect: Server services is not configured for linking
Thanks

  1. set::options::flat-map has nothing to do with services, or even how they link. All it does is make whatever server a user does /map on appear as the hub. So there is no way for the services to "not support" flat-map. If the services requested a map, Unreal would see the U:Line and send the real map. flat-map is also currently a working feature in Unreal.
  2. If services "disappeared", you should have gotten a notice as to why they disconnected. (check your scrollbacks and server logs)
  3. If you need to get services to connect, you cannot use /connect. You need to start the services from the shell.
The odd part is, this is all explained in the docs. Perhaps you should give them another read.
