Action Ferret Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 When I try to use map editor, it keeps trying to get onto the internet. Is this right. I'm using the UK version. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 it shouldn't be, it should be trying to access your SQL server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Ferret Posted November 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 What's an SQL server ? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DartVader Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Game CD 1binmsdesetup.exe this installs the MS-SQL Server, needed for the Map Editor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 and the thing to be aware of here is that this is a server... so if you are connected to the internet you 'may' be open to people attempting to access yor server, and some worms take advantage of SQL servers to spread. So make sure you have the latest MS security update and always use a firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Ferret Posted November 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Does this mean I have to be on the internet, to use the map editor ? :? :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 No, not at all. It's simply a warning that IF you are on the internet, take precautions against intrusions... but that should be standard practise anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowHunter Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Is it possible to load up the editor without installing the SQL server? I'm using cable, so I'm always connected. I don't want to open any holes in my protection programs if I don't have to :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 No, you have to have the server running. But if you've got your system secure it's NOT going to put any holes in it, just use a firewall liek you should anyway, and make sure you always get the latest windows updates (I think there are a couple that will become available after you have the server installed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
