[mastersword.de] 24h Server wouldn't work :C

[RedDog]

The Server is a dedicated Linux Server based on Debian! ;-)

Because there is no Linux Version for MasterSword out there I Emulate a Computer with a virtual machine with Windows installed inside.



In this "Virtual Server" runs the HLDS ...



Linux:

|-----------------------------------|

| |----------------| |---------------| |

| | 62.75.246.81 | | 192.168.55.1 | |

| |----------------| |---------------| |

|-----------------------------------|



Internet <--> LINUX <--> NAT <--> WINDOWS <--> HLDS



Windows:

|------------------------------|

| |------------------| |--------| |

| | 192.168.55.128 | | HLDS | |

| |------------------| |--------| |

|------------------------------|

62.75.246.81 dedicated server IP

192.168.55.1 is the IP for the VM on the Linux side (The Router)

192.168.55.128 IP from Windows



All connections can pass the Linux machine to the Internet,

but only some Port from Internet to Windows!

I forward:

UDP 27016

UDP 27000-27015

UDP 1200

TCP 27030-27039

TCP/UDP 2200

TCP/UDP 2400



If anybody trys to connect Steam say that the Ticked UserID is Invalid.

It looks for me as if the user connects the HLDS sees only the 192.168.55.1 not the real Client IP!



Can anybody help?

dont host a dedicated server, MS is so unstable, when people start to play it wouldnt be up for long before it crashes.

 

[TPM_Montross]

set "ms_ip 62.75.246.81" in the console (or ur cfg file)

 

[RedDog]

The Server is now UP! It was a problem in the Masquerading (NAT) he has translated adresses in both directions, that was wrong!



I could connect to it and after some timeouts i could play wonderful! ;-)





What can i do if the HLDS hangs? Any tools for autorestart?

 

[Kuroneko]

there's a program called serverdoc somewhere

 

[Shoarmakip]

google would do the job nice sig btw its funny

 

[Father Brandon]

http://serverdoc.com/ very usefull, just remember to state that the server starts on the map edana.

i tried playin a few days ago got a black screen, is that fixed?

 

[TPM_Montross]

lol sombody didnt open all the needed ports....

 

[RedDog]

Yes the BlackScreen is fixed...



Yesterday i played on it!



PS: The Ports wouldn't be the problem, it was the Bi-Directional Masquerading!

 

[Chopsuey]

eerrr, um, uh, nuh, pu,fu, black screen is still there, me and panda we in it staring at a black screen

i run a server, i had black screen for about 3 hours b4 i figured out to open the other ports, then it went away, so trust me, the ports culd b a problem

 

[RedDog]

Witch PORTs are needed?



IN/Out, UDP/TCP, Port???





PS: i played on this Server only BlackScreen...

 

[RedDog]

The PORTs are correctly open...

and the MS_IP CVAR ist set to my outside IP!



If I connect i have serveral times timeout and sometimes i connected and i have now a black screen too...



I really don't know what this is!





NEED MasterSword for LINUX!!!!

 

[Ewok]

I would like to thanks RedDog for his support. Especially for having a MasterSword.de site dedicated to ms. Very cool.

[Chopsuey]

yup very cool , all credit is given to red dog, bow down

 

[Ewok]

Not to say everyone else isn't important obviously. There'd be no point in carrying on if that were so.
