Zone.dat

The zone.dat file contains several entries which define a player's favorite server list. The information can either be downloaded from a directory server or manually added to the file.

Format

For each zone a entry like the following exist in the zone.dat file.

<Zone name>,<Zone ip>,<Zone port>,<unknown dns>,<Warn non-SSC zone>
#<description>

Example:

SSCU Trench Wars,66.36.241.110,5400,server.trenchwars.org,0
#SSCU Trench Wars - Sysops: DoCk> and PriitK - http://www.trenchwars.org ss://server.trenchwars.org

Notes

• The <Unknown dns> field often seems to contain a DNS name for some zones (ex.: "server.trenchwars.org" for Trench Wars). It may remain blank.

• The <Warn non-SSC zone> field is a boolean value which indicates whether or not Continuum will not warn you are entering a non-SSC zone. When this field is set to 1 Continuum will not warn the player they are entering a non-SSC zone.

• The <Warn non-SSC zone> field is ignored by Continuum if the zone is an SSC zone.

Tips and Tricks

In Continuum, in order to add a link into the "Web Links & News" menu, you may prefix URLs with site name in brackets in the zone description field.
