Running multiple clients simultaneously (multiboxing)

[Huron]

Verified with different browsers, most kept caching indeed. 
Also tested with wget, which was failing before for me as well, and is now working. So looks much better.

And have now switched to a different monitoring platform. So hopefully this won't happen again or at least I will be notified much sooner when it does.

Could you verify and let me know if it's ok for you as well now?

 

Yep, verified working fine now, thanks for the quick fix!  Lots of folks still prefer this tool given that it's a GUI and no code required so glad to have the option still available for them!

[Huron]

Of course, no worries. Even though I don't get to play much anymore, this game will always have a special place in my heart and anything I can do to help, I will.

 

I'm not sure if calling my tool "a gui" is appropriate, given how ugly it looks and how old it is haha. But I get your point. Not all of us are technically inclined.

 

Was thinking back just now on how things evolved for the emulator. I remember many years ago, when all "the server" could do was have you open the game and log into a station. Back then I was helping out the data entry team, putting all the known navs, gates, etc into a tool. Look at where we are now. 

Makes me want to jump in and play, but it's not on top of my todo list so alas 😅

@Huron Do you know how to change the path in the net7multiclientunlocker? Mine is stuck in a loop and just disappears after I launch it like it is trying to launch something other than the net7client.

It stores its config in an xml file that can be found in your ApplicationData folder, so should be in "C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Net7Unlocker"

It should contain a file called "settingsv2.xml" iirc.
Inside it should have a settings called PathToNet7Launcher

Ok, my multi client unlocker has vanished. The folder is still there, but the actual program itself has gone. Tried to re-download it, but non of the links in this post appear to be working.

 

[Huron]

The link on the first page/initial post, should point to this:

http://www.rmkrs.nl/download/Net7MultiClientUnlocker.zip

And if I go here manually, I can download it. So for me it's working.

Let me know if this works for you.

nope, click on link, screen flashes, right click and link to webpage is a blank webpage.

[Huron]

Well that is funny. Because if I check the url with Filescan.io, this is the result:

 

So not only is the URL working, but it could download the zip file, find the executables in it and scan them for threats.

Not sure what to tell you

Just tried again, screen goes blank for a second or two, then back to this page. Windows 11 Pro.

This is the copy you sent me via e-mail a little while ago. Think you sent me the web link.

 

Net7MultiClientUnlocker.zip

[wun1one]

Worked that time. Thanks

@Spa It's just a file hosted on a webserver, nothing fancy. I can download it and so can the independent link check tool.

So it's probably some safety measure on your computer. If I had to guess it's because it's a file that's not downloaded very often, so that might prevent some browser or some anti virus from downloading it.

I remember sending you the file, since you already had issue back then.
Not something I can fix from the webserver side I'm afraid.

Maybe if I get some spare time, I could look into hosting it on github as a release or something. Perhaps that helps, but in fairness I think the same issue might happen there for you.

Nothing on my comp, I use GhostSpectre OS which is bareboned.

At least the zip file works. guessing wun1one had same problem and d/led the zip file, see if he confirms.

Why not just use Linux at this point?

3 reasons.

1: Cost for Micro$oft OS.

2: It is an OS I'm used to using. (covers most people. Android OS on phones compared to I phones. Love them or hate them) 

3: All the Linux's I have tried, none have caught my attention.
