NovaWorld Lobby Address for DFX?
 

Does anyone have the NovaWorld Lobby Address for DFX? I use the VisualRoute trace route utility, to check for bad hops that result in slow ping times, and C.I.s when hosting online games. I have used the DFLW Public Games Lobby address (nw3.novaworld.net) in the past to successfully identify a couple bad hops that were causing problems while hosting DFLW. Believe me the expression "a picture is worth a 1000 words" is true when trying to prove to your ISP that there is a bad hop. They could not deny the screenshots back then of my trace route utility showing a hop spiking over 400ms. I have been unable to find the appropriate address for the DFX Public Games Lobby tho. I appreciate the help, if you can provide that address for my trace routes.

I don't think there is, if you're talking about a direct web link to the lobby.

DFX has an ''integrated'' sorta thing...

there isnt a lobby page like in LW. However if you goto your cache folder in your DFX folder there are files called .mnx in the title of those there are IP addresses you used to connect to Nova World. Hope that helps!

That is the exact kind of info I was looking for. THANKS A BUNCH ! :gj:

If you found IP's for the lobby can you post the info here? Like the complete file.. may be helpfull for other people ;)

No problem bro!


they change all the time, and they now are in the process of moving servers as I am sure you know. After that gets completed around the 6th of April I will delete my cache and post them here for you;)

Unforunately, I tried all of those in the Cache file, and none of them worked, so I am still looking. With DFLW, if I want to check my connection speed, I just type at the Command Prompt: ping nw3.novaworld.net, or just the nw3.novaworld.net on my trace route utilitiy, and I can see if there is a latency problem between me and NOVA. And if I want see for sure that I did not forget to remove the Password (getting old, lol), I just go to: http://nw3.novaworld.net/dflw_9_lobbyx_pub.lob ; so it seems to me there should be similar addresses for the host to check on his DFX game.

Still searching,

you can use WolfRat to admin your game server, i know its for JO but it does work for DFX as well.

remember the addresses you found or no longer the addresses to the servers, they are being moved.
