Post by: y00tz on May 29, 2007, 10:17:58 PM
That's the port at the end.  Should be 27910 by default, methinks.

Thats the default. However you can change it in your server config file.

However you can change it in your server config file.

I keep hearing this but I don't see where you change it at. Or do you have to write something into the config.

Post by: Cobo on May 30, 2007, 12:48:46 AM
The cvar that controls the port is 'port'.
If you dont find it on the server sonfig it should be 27910.

Add this to the end of your server.cfg file:

Code: [Select]
seta port "27910"

Alright, did you do what Zorchenhimer said?  By the way, if you're friends are trying to connect remotely, I assume you've done the necessary port forwarding?

omg i don;t get any of thiss.... i recently tryied to make a server and i followed all the instructions.. but in the end there was a section for firewall and stuff... my server didn't show up so i tried allowing port and stuff in but i have no clue how to do it.... can someone type in what i have to do... and portforward is so confusting... it doesn't even tell you how to do it.. it just says read this and that... so help me

Why don't you 'read this and that' then come back for help once you've exhausted all possible resources on your end?  Just a thought...

Edit:  Sorry if that sounded trollish, I'm just saying that it sounds like there's your problem and that you have a solution i ya look into it.  If you want, post your router and stuff on here and maybe we can walk ya through the port forwarding.

Cheers,

For your port forwarding? Weird, maybe it was right all along.

Nope, shouldn't.  Make sure you have setmaster dplogin.com somewhere in the config file.

how do i setmaster dplogin.com?

In your server configuration, make sure there is a line that reads:

setmaster dplogin.com, it'll probably be at the top, if it isn't there, add it.

Also, if you have this:
setmaster dplogin.com
setmaster q2master.planetquake.com
setmaster master0.gamespy.com

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it works better if it's:
setmaster dplogin.com q2master.planetquake.com  master0.gamespy.com


Also Spark, have you read this? http://digitalpaint.planetquake.gamespy.com/docs/server_guide_win32.html
I hope so, it's a big  help.  Sorry for not asking about that earlier.

Title: Re: help fast emergency
Post by: y00tz on June 01, 2007, 07:05:34 PM
you play on your server :)

Looks like it's setup up right, but we have to wait for it to 'heartbeat' the masterlist.   You'll see it in the black box, it'll say something like pinging, then heartbeat.

If you want to know if your heartbeat made it to the server , you can either look for your IP on here: http://dplogin.com/serverlist.php, or tell us your server name and we'll tell you if we see it.
Title: Re: help fast emergency
Post by: Spark on June 01, 2007, 07:07:42 PM
is it done? can people see it?
Title: Re: help fast emergency
Post by: y00tz on June 01, 2007, 07:09:18 PM
Oh, and if you remember before, you can go to: www.whatismyip.com to find your IP, THEN look for it on the list.

Cheers & good luck,

Okay, well since you got that error when you tried to do the port forwarding, let's do this.

Like on the first page, use the command to change your port

I believe it was
seta port xxxxx

change it to something else, like 27920
so
seta port 27920

then go through the port forward thing again, except this time use 27920, and try it again.

Title: Re: help fast emergency

Just leave the black DOS box alone. (Minimize it if you want to.) Then go into the game and find your server and you can play on it.

In the DOS box type password "".

Or type password to find it out and then while in the server type cvar_set password unset.
