How to make a server Private?

OK so the account maker thing makes a account right - so anybody finding your IP (even if you dont publish it) will alllow people to make account and play upto whatever level. Now there must be a tool that lets you either set the level to 7 and you have to add days onto there account ---or--- make it so the account maker does not make account?

Maybe a login srv that does not use .DB but rather SQL maybe?

ANybody any ideas?

I have two ideas in my Head - somehow use the mir2sql bits which will stop people making accounts if i can get it to work.
The other one is finding what field the server reads in SQL then change the server not to TEST and then allowing adding of days etc....

Hmm Dont know if ur talking bout mir2 or 3 since your post talks about both of them Still if it works on mir2 it will prob work on mir3 Still ill move it back if he wants

btw yes i guess it is possible using a billing server

My Post was about MIR3, I mentioned MIR2SQL Becuase of the fact that it uses SQL for accounts and using that as a way to Stop logins with the normal client...

Thanks

Well the login Database still uses .DB files - i have exported this in and out of SQL and see nothing in there that states anything about no of days your allowed to play - most people set this to Test Server=True and thus anyone can come along, make a account and play to whatever level.

What Im trying to achive is a Invite only Server you see.

You could set up a trigger on the database for insert to make the account inactive when it is created. You could then force the user to mail you with a request to activate there account. If you do not like the user you could just leave the account inactive.

I will take a look at the database later and see what I can do.

Well Initially I guess that if people dont know the address, then it wont be found (I guess how most of the invite servers work on here) - Now Wemade (boo Hiss) must have programmed something in somewhere to check the Lvl + if that account is paid for etc in the database. Now there was i thought a few fields that def looked like the right ones but no matter what i changed, it came up and said trail account can only get to level 7.

Im Sure as MIR2 and MIR3 been out for ages, someone has come across the answer on how to make this work? What is VentureServer for example?
