Crazy Tronners Authentication How to Page - English

So, you want to use our armathentication authority, great! Smile

These are simple steps how to make it working.

First of all you have to own an account on the forums - register here. If you're already registered, check the following list for your username.

If your username is not listed, you have to log out and then log in again so the database can generate proper checksum.

There are a few different ways that you can go about authenticating

Using any version of tron from 0.2.7 to 0.2.8.2.1 (Current stable version of tron)

Using an alpha version of 0.2.8.3 or Alpha version of 0.3

Using 0.2.7 to 0.2.8.2.1

Note: Using this method will rename you to what your forum name is; this is due to the lack of authentication support in the builds prior to and including that latest stable version.

You can log in using previous armagetron advanced build, but it's not recommended since older version uses less secure method to send passwords to the authority. Say /login your_username@ct and wait for auth menu Smile

Make sure your forum name is correct and type in your password

The console message will tell you that you are identified or not.

Using an alpha build

Note: Some of these builds are not stable, use at your own risk.

Grab latest armagetron advanced build (select an 0.2.8 dated on 2008-02-17 or newer or if you prefer 0.3 select an 0.3 that is r7930 or higher) from here. Install it and run.

Go to Player Setup -> Player 1 Settings and fill the Global ID field with your_username@ct. Note this is case sensitive, so P4 and p4 are two different users.

Connect to one of the servers that are armathentication enabled, in example Fortress Cafe. Go to in-game menu and choose Authentication. This menu item will be displayed only on servers that support authentication.
Some servers may use old code. You cannot use "-" character in the authority URL on such servers. This was solved in revision 8199. Server admins should update their binaries. (v 2008-03-09 or newer)

After a while you should see another menu, fill it and press ENTER. If you don't see that menu, wait a round and try Authentication in-game menu again.

The console message will tell you that you are identified or not.

Some other things to note

Be careful picking forum names the login system does not support all characters

You can see who's identified and who's not by saying /players

I hope it's clear now. Any question?
