Forums: Index > Help desk > The sever disconnects when I try to use a custom nationset


I have created one extra nation "test (i'm just messing around; after this I was planning to delete it) under the directory "custom", but when I say "/rulesetdir custom" it says that it lost the connection to the server. If I put it into the default dir, when I launch civserver it opens then immediately closes. I am using 2.1.8 on a windows 2000

You need all the main rulesets in the rulesetdir. Of course, those can include parts from other directories, as nations.ruleset usually does. Also, you should start civserver separately from dos-prompt (and then in client side, "Connect to network game" -> localhost:5556) to see what error message it gives when it exits. --Cazfi 11:23, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
I do. I copied and pasted the default directory and changed that one file. The thing with it is that the moment that I say "rulesetdir custom" in the server, the window closes.
First start DOS-prompt. Then start Freeciv server in it by typing "civserver". When civserver then exits, DOS-prompt remains. --Cazfi 20:05, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
