PREY 2006 Masterserver restored!

After days of works, I’ve finally managed to bring back the masterserver of PREY2006 that was shut down years ago. You’ll be able to see servers and add them to the masterserver too.

Clientside

Executable replacement (easiest method)

Please download the archive below. It contains the 1.4 executables with only a change of the masterserver. It’ll now point at preymasters2006.baseq.fr .

Prey06-MS-Executables

Don’t forget to create a copy of your existing executables if you wish to revert the masterserver adress.

If you’re curious to know what I changed, here is the only difference in these binaries:

 

Through hosts

217.182.206.49 preymaster.humanhead.com

Simply ping first preymasters2006.baseq.fr to make sure to get the latest IP address.

Serverside

Simply add this line to your config:

seta net_master1 “preymasters2006.baseq.fr”

Verifying it works

In addition to that, you should already be able to see 2 servers on MultiPrey:
