How do you change the gateway Starcraft Shareware connects to?

IIRC it use's a list in the registry, and connects to the fastest one.

[Barabajagal]

I need to make it connect to 127.0.0.1. I've added 127.0.0.1 to the gateway list (which should be the fastest since it's a 0ms connection time), but it doesn't connect to it. Should I get rid of all the other options?

Could try that, but dont forget to make a registry backup of that list lol.

Apparently, it doesn't. It still connected to USWest when all that was in there was:

Code Select Expand

1001
05
127.0.0.1
8
LOCAL

That was with editing "HKEYLM//battle.net//Configuration//Server List" ?

[Barabajagal]

current user. Local Machine just has "exodus.battle.net" in the server list field.

Perhaps it uses a list from battle.snp like old starcraft beta did. Try looking for IPs in battle.snp with a hex editor.

I don't have it installed atm so if somone else dosent answer befor hand then I'll message you on AIM lateron when I do.

209.67.136.167;209.1.214.54;207.200.73.73Ping List ,;209.67.136.170;exodus.battle.net

that's around 022000 in battle.snp...

Anyways the answer without hacking the battle.snp was, set exodus.battle.net to connect to 127.0.0.1 within the host file located in your system folder.

I believe that you would also have success in setting the old REG_SZ "Server List" in the appropriate key under HKLM.  Starcraft Shareware has not been updated for a long time, and does not use the new-style "Battle.net Gateways" server selection system.

What was the path of that key?

[Barabajagal]

If you mean HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE//battle.net//Configuration//Server List, I've tried that, and it doesn't change anything.

Since lockdown, changing the string in Battle.snp wont work properly, due to failed version checks. (most likely caused by a modifyed battle.snp)

Also, I think* (Its been awhile) if you want to connect SSHR to a custom gateway, you need to do it on another system, because SSHR Doesnt like it when port 6112 is inuse.

I take it your trying to get the version check values?
Just SendKeys(chr$(13)) on a timer, and have your program capture the values when SSHR connects to west and does the version check -- its just gonner take along time, thats all
