Server should be visible/something wrong
« on: April 01, 2009, 10:30:28 pm »

I made a srcds and although the cmd prompt shows it as running, it fails to show up in the server browser. However if I run my cs source server which uses the exact same dedicated server it will show up and run fine. All ports are forwarded, am I missing something here?

From what I've seen it's a lot trickier to get a proper server up and running in 3.1 than it was in Beta 1.x.

-Check your ports (I'm sure you've already done this
-go into the console and type "sv_lan 0 (without quotes)
-type "heartbeat" (without the quotes)
-type "changelevel ge_archives" (once again without the quotes)
-and finally type "heartbeat" again.

You might need a client to join the server using the "connect <ip address>" command as well to make it show up.

To be honest I have NO idea what I'm doing, I've never made a server before and know nearly nothing about it. I just wanted to see if I could make a 4 player small maps server and I followed the wiki instructions and that's it. I got it to seem like its running I just can't get into the came. I know nothing of ports or server commands, I'm a total newb I sorta need teaching. =P

Trust me, I've been looking and my specific problem is that I'm seeing my server in the LAN tab and I can connect to it but It's not showing up on the main internet server list.

Well the only reason why that would be the case is if your router is blocking access of certain ports from the internet.

This means the following:
Suppose your Internet IP address is: 67.10.100.23

If I try to connect to your server via 67.10.100.23:27015 your router has no idea where to send this request (which computer should service this on your local network). Also, your router's firewall might be outright blocking this port.

In order to overcome this, you need to setup a "Service" or "Port Forwarding" to pass through the router to your computer. Basically you need to pass the following ports to your internal lan ip address (say 192.168.1.5):

UDP 27000 - 27020
TCP 27015 - 27039
UDP 1200

Note: Packet Types
UDP = Streaming traffic, such as position data from server->client, streaming video/audio, etc.
TCP = Normal internet traffic, reliable, requires confirmation

I really can't help you much more than that, read your router's manual to learn how to port forward. Some cheap routers don't let you port forward, if you are in this situation you either have to connect your computer directly to your ISP modem OR shell out some $$ for a new router.

Ah, this is where it gets tricky. I do not own the connection I use, it's my neighbors wireless that I pick up, I've been into their router options before but It requires a username and password which I can't figure out, I even asked my neighbor and she didn't know what it was either. I tried "Admin" and "password" but that also gave no results... I'm pretty sure the port forwarding is my problem though.

It's alright, I went to my neighbor and just reset her router, that changed the pass and username to admin password and I'm now able to mess with the settings... now I just have to learn HOW to mess with router settings. =P

Alright so I've forwarded all the ports that KM said, and then I confirmed that they are indeed forwarded and my router firewall is off, but now a new problem arose...

I can only see my server outside of GE:S through steam's "server" tab under LAN. When I try to connect it loads up GE:S and right at the Join match screen GE:S crashes. Plus I still can't see the server in the main list. Could it be my server.cfg file? I've never made one till last night and I may have done something wrong, anyone wanna throw me an already made Server.cfg to give me an idea? Like I said, I'm a total newb at this. =P

EDIT: Alright I got this working! My PC can only handle a 1 vs 1 server but that is fine for me I just want it for small maps and personal matches... I just have one question. How do I make custom weaponsets and map rotations and such? Oh and the round times and all that, I have no idea... =/

Thanks for that link, but how do I make it so that it cycles through a set list of maps and weaponsets like the WN server does? And how do I make a weponset of my own? Are there links for that too? =P

in the server install folder there is a map cycle file and a game play cycle file that you can edit in a text editor
