razorace Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I'm interested in running a listen server that sends heartbeats to the master servers. The idea being that I can run the my server in listen mode and still be visible on the server browsers. How do I do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amidala from Chop Shop Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I think by definition a "listen" server doesn't send heartbeats to the master server so it isn't visible in server browsers. It is designed to only let clients who know the server IP address to /connect (IPaddress) to the server. I think the +set dedicated x cvar determines whether heartbeats are sent or not.

razorace Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 So, other than running a dedicated copy and then a client copy to connect to the server, there's no way to be able to play on the server I'm hosting and be able to heartbeat? boo! hiss!

Amidala from Chop Shop Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 That's one way to do it: run the jampded.exe for the server, and run jamp.exe when you want to play on it. That way you can leave the server running without running the client. A better solution is a LAN with one computer running jampded.exe and the other running the jamp.exe client.

razorace Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 Well, the purpose of this would be to have a temp server that would be running while I code/debug for OJP. That way people could just hop on and see what's new. However, the mess of maintaining dedicated servers, seperate windows of the game, etc, would be more of a hassle than it would be worth. I think I'll just post my server's IP instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amidala from Chop Shop Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 You can run jampded.exe, minimize it, and hardly notice that it is there. It hardly uses any resources if no one is on the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
