Although the main servers for Legends of Equestria have shut down, we’ve managed to get a little private server running that we’re will to open up to the general horsefucker population.
The server is not perfect and has some issues and bugs. Here’s a list of known ones (that I can think of):
-       When teleporting back to Canterlot from Cloudsdale, you get stuck underneath the little walkway that goes to/from the blimp.
-       The Everfree forest’s main area for some reason doesn’t exist; you can only visit the area that has the old castle ruins in it.
-       In-game chat is very buggy. You may be able to get some words out, you may not.
-       Twilight’s Library is inaccessible.
-       NPC’s don’t exist , and by extension quests don’t exist
-       Skills don’t exist, so unicorns can’t teleport. Pegasi CAN fly, though, and the pony emotes do work.
 
Mostly everything else should work, but have your pone’s code saved somewhere, just in case something bad happens. Also, try to report in the thread if you find any significant bugs or glitches.
Here are the instructions for connecting with Windows. Will try to get other OS’s later:
1.      Download the server file here https://github.com/tux3/LoE-PrivateServer/releases/tag/0.3.2
2.      You can torrent the game client with this magnet magnet:?xt=urn:btih:4bf18eaebe81801b807d1d503596bd43a72eac53&dn=LoE%20-%20Ohayocon%202014%20-%20windows%20x86.zip&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80%2Fannounce
3.      Extract the server files to their own folder.
4.      Open the game folder up next to folder, and dump the contents of the PrivateServ folder into the game’s folder (as shown in OP pic).
5.      It will ask if you want to replace files; say yes and move/replace all conflicting files.
6.      Go into the “data” folder, right click “serversList.cfg” and open with notepad.
7.      Enter the following IP into the list exactly as it appears: Chip;188.24.108.55;1039
8.      Your list of IP’s will look like this
Local;127.0.0.1;1039
Online;tux3.bounceme.net;1039
Chip;188.24.108.55;1039
9.      Open up LoE_PrivateServer.exe
10.     The server should start and you should get the following string:
 
Reading config file ...
Loaded 29 vortex in 15 scenes
Starting TCP login server on port 1031 ...
Starting UDP game server on port 1039 ...
Loading players database ...
Got 2 players in database
Server started
11.     Start up the client, and click the normal login button, not local login.
12.     A list of servers should pop up. Go to the Chip server
13.     Make your pone and autism away!
Some things to be aware of:
There’s not much to do in game at the moment, but the server files are being updated fairly regularly, as this is already the second update of the files. I’ll try to keep the most current server files posted. When the server files are updated, you can update the same way you added the server files to the game ones: just drop them in the folder and move/replace all of the files.
The game is glitchier than the original itself, so be prepared to make a new pone incase yours gets stuck in the pits of hell or something.
The server admin’s serverbox gets spammed with UDP errors so often that he can’t see anything that goes on, and is unable to help if something breaks.
