I know this is probably asked a lot and I guess the people just don't put in a clear subject topic for me to find a topic thats already made about this....but I need help figuring out how to make a server...pretty much where to go and what to do...Thank You in advance.
-
First off don't just post to see if anybody is going to post you can wait besides it was only 20 minutes also don't double post just modify your first post anyways follow the guide here at http://digitalpaint.planetquake.gamespy.com/docs/server_guide_win32.html
-
Do I have to download anything for it?
Becuase none of that isn't making any sense to me.
-
No you don't have to first off for that if you have a shortcut on your desktop for paintball right click on it and a little menu should pop up and at the bottom of it is a thing that says properties click it and a menu should pop up beside where it says target go to the end of the righting there and type +set dedicated 1 +set public 1 +exec myserver.cfg +map midnight and make sure there is a space between what was the end of the old text so .exe and the beggining of the new text you just added so +set now click ok and then open it and leave the black box there and then copy the shortcut to your start menu under programs start up also make sure the box says paintball 2 initialized then open up paintball using the paintball.exe not the shortcut leaving the black box open this whole time and go to the server list press update and then look for your server on the list remember the black box basically is your server so as long as it's open your server should be open but if you close it your server will close.
I hope that made more sense.
Edit:almost forgot set in your config set master dplogin.com
-
Ok so far I got the black box...but the rest is still not making a lot of sense...because anytime I click pb2 it gives me the black box...so I dunno if I should put something in the box or not.
EDIT: CRAP!!!!!!!!
I put that stuff in to fast....well know I think I got it.
-
Ok once you have the black box you have to have a normal shortcut also to actually play paintball and on your server I suggest going to where ever you installed it and then from there just create a shortcut call it something different and use it to get into paintball and the other you could just rename Paintball2 server that way you don't accidentally use it instead.

Ok...I got the server to come up...but I don't know where to put it..because on the link you gave me it said to put it in start|programs|startup but I can't find startup...and I'm not able to name it yet.
-
Didn't you make the myserver the mymotd and all that? Also you could just always leave yourself logged in and your computer on if you want a permanant one if you only want a temp server you can just click the paintball shortcut you used to open it whenever you want it up.
-
Didn't you make the myconfig the mymotd and all that? Also you could just always leave yourself logged in and your computer on if you want a permanant one if you only want a temp server you can just click the paintball shortcut you used to open it whenever you want it up.
I added all that stuff in there....I just wanted to know how to put it in...but if I can do that then theres no need.
-
Oh that was what all the stuff you added was for.
-
My server is up...but it won't say redbloodsserver
it only says Paintball2 Server or whatever it is.
And anytime I put the password in it says bad password.
-
Type on the console 'hostname' to see if it says redbloodsserver.
That setting should be on the server config. Make sure its not being set twice.
-
This is my config....and yes I have a password at the bottom...I'm just not going to tell you it.

see anything wrong?
-
No I don't. I'dwait for a server expert to post there might be something I'm missing but unless you want to make it so people have to type connect <yuorip> you might want to make it so it shows on the list.
-
Are you trying to make a dedicated server? That's why it's a "black box". If you're trying to make a server which you can play on and at the same time host a server then just use the in game option to start a new game.

That might be why the name is still Paintball2 Server....but I still can't login as an admin.
EDIT: I did that and it took my server off the list....and I can't find my ip.

I changed everythign that needed to be changed
-
if you start a server from the in-game menu, I believe you have automatic admin rights. Try typing "exec server.cfg" from the console (without the quotes and replace server.cfg with the name of your edited .cfg)

Well this is gonna be a permanet server..one everybody can see....but I typed that in and it didn't do anything.
-
it's probably just something simple which is not being done quite right.
Make sure you've got your config saved in /pball/configs and that you're typing in the right name of it, or just keep it set to server.cfg
Edit: Look to see if any other settings are being changed, my guess would be no.

I posted all my config...it has a password at the bottom but I'm not giving it out...other than that I dunno whats wrong.
-
I don't think the problem is what's in your cfg. I think the problem is how you're trying to load it, I was trying to get you to reload it while the server was running, that's why I asked you to type: exec server.cfg in the console. No one cares what your password is... it doesn't have to have a password to execute the config.

I did try to reload it...it just said it was an unknown command.

No I don't wait for a server expert to post there might be something I'm missing but unless you want to make it so people have to type connect <yuorip> you might want to make it so it shows on the list.
maybe you would be better able to help him if you used punctuation... you dont wait for a server expert to post? it only makes sense to me, bcuz my sister used to write like that...
Most likely, he (Redblood) can't get anyone to connect because he has a router. I tried to help, but he refuses, or isn't allowed to look to see if he has one... and he doesn't know how to do it over the computer. Good luck helping him, all.

You should know my family Steve(Fullmetal)...well at least my brother......my mom and brother flipped out on me when I looked at my dsl box becasue once the mouse was messing up and I unplugged it from the comp and put it back in...but i hit the cable that connected my dsl box and my computer and it knocked the box off and now the "pc" light won't light up.
-
if it says that it's an unknown command then you're typing the exec command in the wrong place. Are you typing it in the "black box"?
As far as your router goes... I thought this problem was about your servers name.

Well it is...but then when I did what you told me to my server went away.

Lol sorry I was tired......
you just did it again... XD
-
No, I didn't that was perfect grammar.
-
...your kidding... right? XD
No, I didn't that was perfect grammar.
Also, you just did it AGAIN XD XD XD. You wrote two sentences and didn't put no marx between em. lol.
-
There should have at least been a semicolon there.

It least I don't spell marks marx or them em.
Plus I almost forgot, I don't put capitals in the middle of a sentence.
And if you really want to be that specific XD is not a word and neither is lol.

You can't end sentences with ...... either,
becuase when you do you might be making people think your going to type something else.

when i said "marx" and "em" it was kind of making fun of you, like I was speaking so you would understand it. The capitalization in the middle of the sentence was for emphasis on that word, and XD is an emoticon.

how do i log in when im playing on my server????
EDIT: Ok so i found out how to log in but it says bad password. I dont know why!!!
Im even copying and pasting it from the file!!
-
I know but in proper english you don't use emoticons.
To emphasize a word you make it bold or underline it or even make it itallics.
Anyways let's keep this on topic.

Yes, jarred. It's all just a big conspiracy to keep you from getting your server to work.
