Help: Long time ETPro devotee, but Server n00b

[Yamabushi]

I am trying to run a dedicated ETPro server at 61.198.212.29:27960, but it doesn't show up in either the default ET browser or in ASE. I've had it running for a while and can successfully, connect to it via my LAN. It does show up in the default ET browser under "Local".

I have forwarded ports 27950-27965 (UDP) to the correct box and have it sending the heartbeat to IDSoft and GameSpy. Could someone please try to connect to it and let me know if you are successful or not?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Cheers,

1. you are using etded?
2. what is your server.cfg?

[Yamabushi]

Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

[mortis]

make it: +execute server.cfg

[Yamabushi]

Mortis,

As per http://www.rtcw.jolt.co.uk/content/enem ... setup.html it says to use only "exec". Anyways I tried that and the server shuts down.

Quote from that page: exec server.cfg - this loads up the server configuration file, which sets all the other server settings - and loads a map. ET seeks the specified filename in "etmain" folder, regardless of the mod being used. You can specify a path to subfolders if you would rather keep your configurations neat in a folder, for example +exec server_cfg/server.cfg.

[Deus]

you need to start a map to keep the server running.
add a "map battery" intoyour server.cfg or add it to the shortcut "+map battery"

[Deus]

Oh, and please remove the loads of "sets g_needpass"
g_needpass is changed automatically when g_password changes

Thats not completely true.

It looks in the specific fs_game directory for the config 1st. If it can't find one it checks etmain.
I suggest to put mod specific config in the mod-connected directory.

[gotenks]

1. i thought it checked etmain, then fs_game directory... which is why mod specific things didn't work correctly if the server.cfg is in etmain (such as forcing draw foliage off)
2. as long as his maprotate.cfg contains a propper map it should work
3. he's not changing his ip (set net_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
4. make sure you have the port forwarding set up correctly... (targeting the correct computer... i've accedentally targetted the wrong pc before)

[Yamabushi]

OK I've made these added the +map goldrush to the cmd and removed the g_needpass's:

etded.exe +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27960 +set fs_game etpro +set fs_homepath 27960 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +set com_hunkmegs 196 +map goldrush +exec server_cfg/server.cfg

Is there anything else I need to change?

[jump3r]

+set com_hunkmegs 196 +map goldrush +exec server_cfg/server.cfg

- dont you think 196MB RAM for ET server is pointless?
- loading map goldrush should come after executing a cfg file, ussually in mapcycle cfg
- why do you put server.cfg in subdirectory?

set username "Yamabushi"

err, woot?

set password ""

do you mean g_password ?

sets g_needpass "0"

have you read Deus's post?
by the way, you have double sets sv_pure in your cfg file.

blah, afaik, the best solution how to run a single internet etpro objective server is:

shortcut:

Code: Select all

etded.exe +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game etpro +set net_ip XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX +set net_port XXXXX +set com_hunkmegs 128 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg

net_ip = public ip address of your server

net_port = udp port (default is 27960)

etpro/server.cfg:

Code: Select all

// misc settings
...

// start
set g_gametype 2
set com_watchdog_cmd "vstr d1"
exec cycle.cfg

wait 300
config myconfig

etpro/cycle.cfg:

Code: Select all

set d1 "map map1;set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "map map2;set nextmap vstr dn"
...
set dn "map map3;set nextmap vstr d1"
vstr d1

i use this format since i administer ET servers and never had any problem with it.

[mortis]

oops, i meant that the server config should be in etpro and should be called upon by: +exec server.cfg

[deej]

It works great if you put it in etmain as well. People just need to learn to put fs_basepath & fs_homepath correctly, and it'll work fine.

[Yamabushi]

Changed again:

etded.exe +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 61.198.212.29 +set net_port 27960 +set fs_game etpro +set fs_homepath 27960 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +set com_hunkmegs 196 +exec server_cfg/server.cfg +map goldrush

I want this server to be a public, but it is one of several machines sitting in my LAN. When I set net_ip 61.198.212.29 I am unable to connect to my server. How do I connect to it. It won't work via it's local address or my public IP.

Removed the redundant sv_pure's and g_needpass's

All the feedback is appreciated. What else am I missing or do I have wrong? Has anyone actually tried to connect?

Thank you.

Changed again:
+exec server_cfg/server.cfg +map goldrush

is your server.cfg actually in a subfolder of etmain or etpro called server_cfg ? This should work OK, but there's no real need to have it in a subfolder.

I want this server to be a public, but it is one of several machines sitting in my LAN. When I set net_ip 61.198.212.29 I am unable to connect to my server. How do I connect to it. It won't work via it's local address or my public IP.

Are you trying to host the server behind a NAT router ? If so, you need to set up port forwarding on the router. You may still have trouble getting it to show up on the master, but people should be able to connect by IP.

If you want to host a real public server, you should probably have a dedicated ip for it.

edit:
Ok, now that I've read the first post, I see this is what you are trying to do. AFAIK, you should not set the net_ip to the public IP. net_ip is for hosts that have more than one IP.
