(FreeBSD) IP parameter in config and worlds sql table is ignored about server HOT 4 CLOSED

The worlds table IP is set by the server on startup to the value in config.lua. If the value in config.lua is "auto", it will do a reverse ip lookup and use that value.

The words table is intended to be read by login servers only to get the location & ports of different gameservers.

Just in case it wasn't obvious... 0x100007F which the server always binds to regardless of what you specify in config.lua is the little-endian host byte order of localhost: 1.0.0.127.

I'm curious about the idea behind updating the IP in the worlds table each time the server starts up. If the IP the server binds to is gathered from config.lua anyway, what is the rationale behind storing it and keeping it updated in the worlds table as well? Future plans of multi-homed hosting?

Found the issue after poking around in the source code: configmanager.cpp looks for parameter "server_ip", while the stock config.lua defines the parameter as just "ip".

Setting the property as "server_ip" solves the issue?
