Port zero !?

December 28, 2008 3:07:14 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

When I host a custom Internet game, I select « auto port », and I then usually get to host through port 6073.

But sometimes, the auto-port option makes me host through « Port 0 ». Is that a bug ? What does it mean ?

I have to exit the program and come back to be able to host with port 6073 again.

People can join my games through 6073, but I've never seen someone join when I host with 0.

By the way, I can host, but I have never been able to join any game : it tries to connect and never does.

I'm behind a router, with no added firewall.

When Hosting, restart the game completly before. Your port wont be 0 anymore.

Yes it is a bug.  As wag stated, to solve this restart the game after every hosted game.  This will likely be fixed in the next week or two.

Thanks to both of you ! I had guessed that restarting the game was then required, but I was not certain what « Port 0 » meant and if it was a bug. Your replies clarify the matter.

This is pretty much how it works:

 

                if port == 0 then
                    port = 6073
                end

Sorry : I do not understand what you mean by that.

what (i think) Chirmaya is saying, is; it may say port zero, but it really means 6073.

Yupyup. If you have it set to port 0, then it just uses 6073.
