my server isnt working

[slapshot12207]

so i made a server, and i did everything the directions told me to do but it didnt show up on a server list for one of my friends and no one else joined so i dont think anyone else can see it... how do i make it public so that others can join?

Taken from Knack:

If you have problems starting a server, running a server, your friends can't connect to your server, or your server does not show up on the server list, answer the following questions and post the answers. 

1. Public ip address and port used for server.

2. Visit the server troubleshooter here and post your results

3. If you are making a stand alone server, post your startup command line and a copy of your config file with the passwords erased.

4. If this is a home server, make sure you know how to forward the port that your server uses from the WAN side (the port on your router hooked up to your cable modem, dsl modem, or whatever you use to connect to the internet) of your router to the LAN side ( the ports that connect to the pc's at your house) of your router. If you have questions on how to do this, post screen shots of your router config page showing the port forwarding setup.

Go here: http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm

if you need assistance configuring port forwarding on your router.


Providing just those 4 pieces of information instead of  or  will show that you are genuinely interested in getting your server working and not just picking dust bunnies out of your belly button expecting others to do all the work for you.

To make your server public make sure when you right click on you server short cut and go to properties, then target: +set dedicated 1 +set public 1 +exec myserver.cfg +map midnight" (without the quotes)

The +set public 1 should make it public.

What's the command line you're using?  For one thing, it looks like you're not using a set command correctly (either in the command line or in a config file).  The other problem is that you're trying to run midnight in pong mode, which I'm not sure it supports.  It also looks like you either have a corrupt map file or an ent file that won't work with it (giving the bad inline model error).  Try a different map.
