After you have compiled your client you will need to make some changes to the network settings, this can be accomplished in 3 ways.
Recomended Method
Add additional lines to your client.cfg located in the ryzom client folder.
You do not have to add all the below lines just the ones you want to change.
For example if you want your client to connect to myurl.ryzomcore.org you would add that line as a StartupHost
StartupHost = "shard.ryzomcore.org:40916";
CreateAccountURL = "http://shard.ryzomcore.org/ams/?page=register";
EditAccountURL = "http://shard.ryzomcore.org/ams/?page=settings";
ConditionsTermsURL = "http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html";
ForgetPwdURL = "http://shard.ryzomcore.org/ams/?page=forgot_password";
LoginSupportURL = "https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/103798956862568269036";
Advantages of this method:
- Simple to configure
- Doesn't require recompiling the client to make edits
Disadvantages of this method:
- A malicious application can change your settings in a plain text file to anything they want potentially stealing passwords etc
- You are not able to have users remove the client.cfg if they input bad settings without them connecting to the wrong server but the client will still run potentially causing confusion
Changing Defaults Method (Alternate Recommended Method)
Change the lines to your client_default.cfg located in the ryzom client folder.
You do not have to add all the below lines just the ones you want to change.
For example if you want your client to connect to myurl.ryzomcore.org you would add that line as a StartupHost
StartupHost = "shard.ryzomcore.org:40916";
CreateAccountURL = "http://shard.ryzomcore.org/ams/?page=register";
EditAccountURL = "http://shard.ryzomcore.org/ams/?page=settings";
ConditionsTermsURL = "http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html";
ForgetPwdURL = "http://shard.ryzomcore.org/ams/?page=forgot_password";
LoginSupportURL = "https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/103798956862568269036";
Advantages of this method:
- The client will always use these settings even if the client.cfg is erased
- Simple to configure
- Doesn't require recompiling the client to make edits
- You are able to have users remove the client.cfg to fix bad settings
Disadvantages of this method:
- A malicious application can change your settings in a plain text file to anything they want potentially stealing passwords etc
Edit Defaults in the Code (For Advanced Users)
Don't forget to change the paths used below to match where your source is checked out!
