Hello everyone,
We've been playing LAN games of smokin guns at my job for a year or so, with some employees joining from home via a port forward. We play the 1.1b4 version since that's the last one that works on the mac (at least we couldn't get 1.1 to work). As of yesterday suddenly external people couldn't connect any more, getting a "no or bad challenge for your address" error.
It looks like this is because the "authorize.smokin-guns.net" server no longer exists (the DNS entry no longer exists), but that's what's compiled into our version of the game code.
What are my options? Can I disable the authorize check completely? Will recompiling the server with the authorize check removed be enough?
Thanks for a fun game.
