Having probs setting up a server.

[Nomama]

I read the FAQs and I posted what it told me to in the server.cfg but when I start the server my character isnt there and it says saved for only lan characters.

Also I dont see my server up on the list. What do I need to enter after i push "Establish kingdom" and I click "Game" then I get to all the settings like

Outside IP
Store Characters

Central Server Address
Central Server Password
Central Server Update delay
Central Server offline tag

And also do I need to click lan game? Or make sure that's unchecked and do I check or uncheck Enable central server.

go to your listenserver.cfg - thats the one for establish kingdom, server.cfg is for a dedicated server (stays there when you're gone).

put this stuff in it

hostname "Your server name goes here"
sv_lan 0
maxplayers 6

ms_serverchar 3

//
// MS Central Settings
ms_central_enabled 1
ms_central_addr "cboat.mine.nu:5711"
ms_central_pass "testing"

//
// other settins
sv_aim "0"
sv_cheats "0"
ms_joinreset "1"
mp_falldamage "1"
ip "ur ip LOL (go to http://www.whatismyip.com)"
ms_pklevel 0

// MS Central Settings
ms_central_enabled 0 (You sure it doesn't have to be 1?)
ms_central_addr "cboat.mine.nu:5711"
ms_central_pass "testing"

It doesnt seem to show the name I chose for it. Why is that? Also it doesnt show on the list am I not supposed to see it?

 

[evilsquirrel]

what kind of router do you have?

and that stuff has to go in the listenserver.cfg...and if theres another "hostname" thing after this one, the last one in the file takes priority.

Also make sure your DMZ is off
Dematerialized Zone I believe, that's an easy for for firewall issues

how do u make the server unsecure?

 

[Jelly]

Also typing "heartbeat" in the console sometimes help with the "server not showing up in browser problem"

 

[Gurluas]

// MS Central Settings
ms_central_enabled 0 (You sure it doesn't have to be 1?)
ms_central_addr "cboat.mine.nu:5711"
ms_central_pass "testing"

should be 1

 

[Netrogor]

Back when I hosted too, I had to make that one (1). So... yeaaaa.... make sure it is set to one, not two, not three, not zero; but ONE!!

how do u make the server unsecure?

Add "-insecure" (sans quotes) to the HLDS command line.

i can't get votemap to work can ya help me?

 

[evilsquirrel]

votemap does not work on listenservers.

and i've no experiance with a dedicated MSC server, only NS servers using linux - and those were running amxx.

 

[Pernicious-Noto]

Run a dedicated server if you can, unblock the ports on your router to allow HLDS to be accesible via steam to outsiders that aren't on your network, if you do not know how go to steampowered.com and visit the forums. Also, as for the mapvote, it doesn't work on listen servers to the best of my knowledge and if it's dedicated check your AMX.

You'll need to install the AMX to make the votemap system work - tis a plugin.

I thought we fixed that... You tried votemapping with the newer AMX on a listenserver yet? I know I can votemap on a listenserver while I'm the only one on it now - I dunno about with guests though.
