Can't get my server working.
« on: July 16, 2012, 01:17:21 PM »
Hi, so I've tried to start my dedicated server.
I've forwarded the 27910 port and got a static IP.
Then I followed the Win32 Server Guide and started a server. But it doesn't appeare in the server list (only in my one).
Any ideas what could be wrong?

here is the myserver.cfg:


// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
// GENERIC SERVER INFO
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------

set hostname ">MiNiK's good maps"
set website "http://www.____"
set admin ">MiNiK" s
set e-mail "jakub.minarik.11@gmail.com" s
set location "Prelouc, CZ" s

set public 1 // set to 0 if you don't want this on the public server list

set idle 65 // time (in seconds) before idle players are put on observer

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
// MATCH SETTINGS

set allow_match 0 // set to 1 to enable the "match" command for clan matches
set matchmode_cfg "matchmode.cfg"
set publicmode_cfg "publicmode.cfg"

Removed it.

When I write heartbeat in console, nothing happens.

And there is another thing, the physics on the server seem to be wierd - I can't do the classic strafe jumping. It's more like Counter-strike bunny-hopping. (when moving in the mid-air, i can start moving the opposite direction)

now I get it - I was supposed to write "heartbeat" in the server's console (i was typing it in-game)

it says "heartbeat acknowledged from 70.85.9.178:27900"

If you get the "heartbeat acknowledged", your server is added to the list.  Is it visible to other people after this?

It was saying "heartbeat acknoledged" the whole time. But when I ask people, they say they don't see the server in the list. I had the server running for hours and noone connected, so I guess it's really not there. (And the heartbeat adress is not the same I have, but I guess that's normal?)

The acknowledged from address is the address of the login server (70.85.9.178 is dplogin.com).

Perhaps the port forwarding wasn't set up correctly, or something else is blocking connections.  It sounds like the server IP is added to the server list, but if something is stopping your server from responding to queries, it won't show up.

I did follow that guide. It's quite easy to forward ports with the divece I have.

But it's pretty difficult to find out where the problem is now. I get hb acknowledged, but the server won't show up, there's not much I could do.

We have plenty of tutorials on this, can't you look at one of them?

Have you forwarded your port? There are some port forwarding guides in this forum.
