Sofplus server: Updated GeoIP database (GeoIP.dat)

Author: Mailfud (https://mailfud.org)
Description: SofPlus dedicated server provides an outdated database of GeoIP.dat created by Maxmind. Further updates has been discontinued since many years for GeoLite2 but a conversion has been done for its legacy.

Download

• At the bottom, select GeoIP.dat.gz (Direct link)

From the webpage:

Here you can find regularly updated versions of the discontinued GeoIP legacy databases. Many distributions still use old GeoIP libraries, so you might find these useful. I use these on many systems myself, so consider the files and site stable.

Conversion is done from Maxmind GeoLite2 databases, using slightly modified version of geolite2legacy. All names/locations are in plain US-ASCII encoding, converted from UTF-8 with Python unidecode module. Build process tries carefully not to create bad databases.

Setup:

• Extract the .gz file.
• Go to your dedicated server folder where SoF-spsv.exe is located.
• Make a backup copy of the original Sofplus distribution GeoIP.dat.
• Replace the current installed GeoIP.dat with the extracted one.

To make long story short.
This is the file that tells which country you are based on your IP address when you type .players When it's outdated, there's chance that it will report an incorrect country or not at all.

you being scammed bro. Just like how vitinetwork was faking their locations of SoF Servers

But wont be scammed if the tracers used this DAT file. Here's the table and it clearly shows Germany from the IP range.
