hey im not trying to interfere with your projects but after 3days of ******** with this and going through the server files and seeing as this thread is still open "Today, 23:10 " i thought i might help i have made a server and people have connected to my server
there are a few bugs but they are expected and can be compensated by the GMs or PMs cmds (ex:no armorer in bi = spawn a piece of equipment for the user)
--first off make sure you and the people trying to connect have the qonquer2 client not the qonquer3 client
--second copy the c3.wdf and data.wdf from your real conquer folder to the qonquer2 folder if u dont have them you should download from co.91.com latest patch works tested about an hour ago with the newest patch 5137
--third make sure ports 9958 and 9960 are forwarded for you and people trying to connect
--lastly if you cannot connect getting an error that says "interrupted with server" delete the account(s) you are trying to login with and make another with a different name make sure all fields are empty except username: (username), login type: 2, status: (8 GM PM :: 7 player)
if this doesnt work i cannot help you but i can try
if you would like a little bit of help dont hesitate to pm me
port fowarding was the hardest thing to explain go to

very easy
soz for the long post but i thot i might help a bit
