realmlist.wtf

[raven7931]

Ok. So i've read and googled tryed and re tried deleted rebooted reinstalled and no matter what i do i can not gt wow 3.3.5a ( aka 3.3.5 912340)(Relese) to connect to MY server .. YES i changed the realmlist to be local tryed my ip tried "local" tried "LOCAL" tried "Local" Tryed my router tried other private servers settings and no matter what i do it goed to down load the 4.0.0 patch and wants to log into the retail version. I reinterate i HAVE changed the realmlist.wtf in EVERY folder and went through my regedit to make sure pointers werent messing me up ( but i might not have seen them all i guess their was a post with recomendations to check --- hkey_current_user -- software --- blizzard ---**** and i did and dosent seem to be anything their other than a referance to c:\\users\\public\\document

I'm running all the latest mangos dbs udb sqlyog mysql sd2 ect ( no mods no "addons" ) just a nice clean brandy spanking new set up kad one problem where i over updated but fixed that

i'm running win7 retarted ultra version --see below--

any way ... th server seems to be 100% working ... why can't i get wow to look for MY host instead of the retail host

c:\\World of Warcraft\\data\\enUS\\realmlist.wtff

set realmlist -MYINFO-

set patchlist -MYINFO-

set realmlistbn "MYINFO"

set portal us

--no its not set to "myinfo" thats just a replacement to avoid giveing out my personal info --

gee yes

never tell anyone that your ip is 127.0.0.1 - if anyone knew he could hack into your pc

btw

set realmlist 127.0.0.1

make sure to edit with wow-closed, and to start wow not by the launcer, ie use wow.exe

lol @ Schmoozerd i'll try the 127.0.0.1 but i've done local and ive done my actual IP ( which is what i replaced ) ive done my no-ip address .. and i do start is up with the wow.exe i've restarted to make sure the launcher wasent some how still "active" in any way any other advive ?

Piticulerly for my friend whos helping me test it and has the same thing happen... he plugged in my ip.. and tryed to log in ( he used diffrent info other than his retail version .. edited his realmlist then tryed to log on and went to retail patch dl 3.3.x -> 4.0.0 ( or w/e )

It's not obvious that you edit the right wtf file. Personaly i have several in my wow directory (dunno why maybe my bad) check for other realmlist file.

[Damnit]

What IP do you have in your realmd database?

And in realmlist.wtff you should only have " set realmlist YOUR IP OR 127.0.0.1" -- That.. and only that! delete other things such as (set patchlist )

Using your network IP instead of the loopback device is like calling yourself and wondering why the called phone is busy...

And yea, not only realmlist in realmlist.wtf points to retail servers by default.
