Stuck at "Located server, connecting..."

[Furkan125]

I started the proxy I have "127.0.0.1 www.growtopia1.com and growtopia2" in my hosts file but I'm stuck on "Located server, connecting...".

You have to somehow get www.growtopia1.com ip address and put it in config.json

[Furkan125]

Thanks it worked

[Furkan125]

I had to reopen the issue because there is a problem. I got the ip address of www.growtopia1.com (it keeps changing as 195.175.176.144 and 195.175.176.225) but after playing the game for a while, I get disconnected and it stuck on the "Located server, connecting..." screen again (even if the ip is correct) and doesn't get fixed until I reset the router.

sorry i just came home from school, i will investigate the problem and maybe implement auto ip resolve to ease the need of manually changing growtopia's ip.

[badewen]

anyways can i know how you got the ip address? would be very helpful :)

[Furkan125]

Here is an example in python:

>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostbyname("www.growtopia1.com")
'195.175.176.225'

but because of the hosts file, when we try this while the proxy is running, the result is 127.0.0.1

>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostbyname("www.growtopia1.com")
'127.0.0.1'
>>> socket.gethostbyname("a1966.dscb.akamai.net")
'195.175.176.144'

a1966.dscb.akamai.net always giving the ip

I couldn't find a way to do the same as I'm not very good at C++ By the way, unrelated but can you give an example of how I can send a VariantList?

Thanks for the method. It really helps. as for your question, i dont really remember how because i havent used this proxy for a while now. Try digging through the code base especially client.cpp and server.cpp file.

u need edit enet

you mean enet library itself or enetwrapper?

Newest ip is 195.175.178.105

Do you know how often it changes?

There is an example in the client.cpp file, I'm trying to figure out how it works

[badewen]

you can now close this issue. As for the recon issue, i cant really say anything atm as i got no time to test them.

Fixed on #72
