Hlds Without Won?

<div class="IPBDescription">Can I make it a reality?</div> I have a bunch of regulars that I setup with the IP address to my server a while back.

Any way to make the half-life server run without trying to authenticate with the WON servers?

The -nomaster does not work.

Thanks!

    Yes, as a LAN server. Go figure.

    lan server dont require won authentication but also can only be accessed over a single class c subnet so running a lan server accross the internet is unlikely to work unless all your mates have the same ISP and are pretty luck to have been assigned IP addresses on the same subnet!

    ...which sucks, as WON is completely dysfunctional and seems to be hacked by the very pirates it is designed to protect against, thus rendering it completely pointless.

    Ho hum


    And it always goes down on either a Monday or a Thursday, the two days I can actually game on <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If you actually wanted to do this it would mean transparently running a port-fowarding program or similar on each end of the link so that halflife doesn't know about it.
    It's probably not the quick fix you're looking for.

    Thanks for the info. Luckily there was the static IP solution for the short term.
