Can I log in to the multiverse demo world?

because even if I have created an account when I try to log in it says invalid username and pass.

I assume you're trying to log in with the account you made on the main Multiverse website? If so, it should work fine.

When you say Demo world, do you mean the one that you downloaded with the rest of the developer tools, or the one from the Client start page? (i.e. with the list of other worlds)

If you mean the second one, that's no longer being hosted, so it won't work anyway.

Anyway, your Multiverse username and password should work with the client. Mine always does!

I have tried to log in to the demo world that comes with the server and it doesn't appear to work. I try to log in and it doesn't work. I chose the option of Custom World and enter my credentials (which I believe are the same as the old forum) and it doesn't work.

Can anyone help with this or is there a way to create a test account for us.

So, you mean the SampleWorld then? If so, there's no reason why it shouldn't work - hopefully Delurin will be able to give you some pointers.

The username and password is what you created when you created a Developer Account (not the Old Forum account).

It should actually be the old forum account login/password and not the developer account - which is for changing your world entry and maybe modifying the old wiki.

When I signed up I made my developer account and my forum account different though with the same username

I have a feeling his main problem was that he couldnt get his server to start and I believe all of the public servers are down.

Actually the first time I meant the one that`s not hosted anymore. Now I have my server working but for somereason I can`t login with my credentials.

When you say you cant login does it give you an error saying Invalid username or password or something else?

invalid username and password

Delurin, can you tell him how to log into his own server without needing to connect to the Multiverse server?
I've got it sorted out on my machine, but I can't remember how I did it, to be honest!

I remember it being something to do with changing the target of the Multiverse Client launcher or something?

You should be able to get around the login screen by adding --development to your commandline in your shortcut but other wise you may need to sign up an account on the multiverse website:
http://www.multiverse.net/consumer/registration.jsp?cid=1&scid=1

I just checked and their authentication server is working just fine so you might have the wrong password or you may not have signed up on their website
(I know I accidently typed in the wrong password when I signed up so I have to use the wrong password everytime)

I was typing it up as you posted that

I have to go to bed because I have to wake up early tomorow I will try to create a new account tomorow.

When I add --development it still asks for user and pass.... Ill try tommorow to make sure

I just looked around my files, and found the shortcut I was using.
I modified a shortcut for MultiverseClient.exe, and put this at the end of the Target field in the Properties dialog:

Code:

--development --world localhost

That should work, as it's telling the client to run from the localhost, and won't require an internet connection (therefore eliminating the need to connect to the Multiverse database in the first place)

I get the fact that it is an entry to local host but I still have to enter some sort of pass and user.

I believe you need to setup a world_settings.xml file in the config folder of the multiverse world browser which would looks something like this:

Code:

<client_config>
  <loopback_world_response world_id="localhost">
    <account id_number="1"/>
    <server hostname="localhost" port="5040"/>
    <patcher_url href="localhost/worldpatcher.html"/>
    <update_url href="localhost/repository"/>
  </loopback_world_response>
</client_config>

you will also probably need the --development in which case it wont really matter what you put for patcher_url and update_url
you may need to put in the actual world_id of you world (most likely sampleworld)

I am not sure but you might also need to put in:
--world_settings_file world_settings.xml

I think I will undownload everything and redownload it on sunday or so. If not I might wait till the source code gets fixed so it doesn't have to rely on the multiverse servers to log in users.

I'm scared I changed a setting somewhere by accident while trying to fix it.

If you really want to try to setup your own master server I can walk you through it. The client code doesnt need to be changed you just need to put in a lot of command line arguments. I have completely switched over I just havent finished writing everything up. (It also is pretty easy to recompile the client code to handle a different master server/login/updater but I havent figured out a completely new installer._
