Dedicated Server FAQ

[MatrixCPA]

A hitch warning is the server's way of saying "I had to think about something really hard and it caused some lag for the players". In other words, your cpu was getting maxed out. This normally happens during startup and map changes. If it happens in the middle of a round, your server is overtaxed.

 

If nobody is joining your server, all you are going to see is the heartbeats being sent. You can always check the server by typing "status" into the console.

[tierny]

okay yep can see cpu at 99/100% when i get the hitch warning normally when I have just connected using vnc, when its not connected there is no warning, thanks for that

 

the other thing i wanted to know is there a list of commands to set force powers at certain levels? and weapons allowed. I saw the figures earlier for saber only, but how do you add subtract numbers to get weapons/powers at what you want?? and are the values of these listed anywhere?

 

or am i getting the wrong end of the stick lol.

 

i would ideally just like full power jump only and no other powers

[MatrixCPA]

One nice thing they added into the 1.03 code was the forcetoggle command. If you just type it without any parameter, it'll give you the current state of each force power and a quick example of how to use the command. It's quite convenient for setting your force powers. Of course, it won't save them to the config file unless you use the write command to force it to do so. One thing to note is that you can't set a limit for each force power--it's either on or off.

I have a Question, How can you be the server and play at the same time. I can get it to work on a LAN but I can't get it to work on the internet. Thank You and Have a Nice Day

[Kid_A]

i feel so freakin retarded, no matter how hard i try to gain the administrative powers of my dedicated server i just cant! i make one & then i join it, but i just cant figure out how to make my dedicated server respond to my commands as if i was the administrator! damn! im not a noob to computers, but i definitely am when it comes to making dedicated servers. hopefully there is a kind sould willing to help me straighten up my ded. server problem(s) [there are way more problems but f*** those for now]. thanks for any help.

[Kid_A]

there is no paragraph, just somebody please answer the question that is the subject for my reply.

[humble48]

The answer to all of your problems is runner.gameadmins.com.

 

On that site, there is a Jedi Runner which allow you, through a GUI interface, to enter all of the settings you wish (weapons allowed, type of game, players allowed, internet or LAN, maps to use, etc.)

 

It will also allow you specify server admin pw, player pw, or all pw for the game server. You need to input the password for your remote console password when you enter the game.

 

Finally, it will also reqister your game with not only the standard game server but also GameSpy's and one other. You may also specify additional servers if you wish.

 

Once you complete your settings, just click the Start button and it will create the CFG file and run it.

 

I use it to run my dedicated server. "May the Force Not be with You"

In my target box I have "E:\Games\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\jk2mp.exe" +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg

 

Now when I click on the shortcut the MP console comes up and all this writing appears. It looks like its going fine then it stops at

"Hitch warning: 773865 msec frame time

and dosn't do anything else.

 

Please help me, I really wanna get this to work.

[Jedi Degreel]

Is anyone using Jedi Runner to configure and run their servers? I am about to use it but have a couple of questions. When I set it up to act as a dedicated server it just opens through a JK2 console screen on my desktop (the same screen that loads the game before you start playing) I had previously been using the dedicated option but using that method the server runs in a DOS-like box much the same way as a HL dedicated server did so are they both the same? And also how do you add JediMod using Jedi Runner?

 

Thanks for any info you guys can provide.

[Father Torque]

I'm trying to understand what everyone means when they say create a command within the shortcut but how do you even make a shortcut for jk2? I'm trying to get a server for my clan up but I'm not having much luck. Anyones help on a step by step precedure for this is much appreciated by the MIK clan. Thanx.

[Nuke]

I wonder if anybody knows which ports exactly need to be forwarded from the local ip dedicated server to my router in order to make the ded-server official in the masterjk2.ravensoft.com directory. Do i need to change net_ip and net_port?

 

Thx, in advance .....

[RoMeRz]

hey i have my server running on my m8s pc in holland with a big beefy connection, how do i get a GUI rcon interface, also how do i make it so when i put in rcon i get double lightsaber and that kinda stuff - do i need admin mod ?

[Speeding Bullet]

How would i set up a stats page for my server?

[EvilFlame]

how can i fix this help anyone?

Are you behind a firewall? Failing to resolve the master servers can sometimes mean you are behind a firewall which is not letting the master servers talk to your server. If this is the case, you need to configure your firewall to let jk2 talk with the master servers.

[1nfin1ty]

How can i get my ded server on the master list? I can connect to it, but other people can't because it doesn't show up on their list.

[!SoS! Acrid {J}]
