It seems someone tried to get into the server, but I'm not sure. I had a problem running extern last night and earlier that day, xp clamped down on the program with a message that makes me think someone tried to hack into the danged thing. hers a copy of the log file for my game D. I also have one user that seems to have a lot of trouble getting into the game here. he is "bob" in this file.

Pay close attention to the end of the file. Any help would be appreciated. There's a couple lines that say "User Ejected" I don't understand the reason for the ejection.

I know, I know or at least I think I know what is wrong. The problem is I’m part of the Cracked peanut gallery of noobi’s as you put it so why would I want to help you.

I’ll be a nice guy though and not steep to your level.

The mail file is corrupted you need to stop the server and locate the mail file for that game and delete it restart the sever and you should be good to go.

There has been other threads about mail file problems you might want to do a search

why thank you.......

Yeah, definitly the TWMAIL.DAT file. If you re-bang that game, remember to DETELE the whole folder (not thru TWGS) thru your explorer or command prompt if you use unix,linix. I didnt and when I re-banged the game I got the same errors over and over.
Also I find that the less gold aliens in the game, the less probs I have. So When I bang games now whether they are a mod or not, I lower the amount of aliens. I figure that about 20 max in a 5k sector game is enough. That includes ferrengi and alien traders. I think the default is 50. Since I have done that I have had fewer TWMAIL.DAT files getting corrupt.
just my nickle
