new win32 server

[^-SeaWolf-^]

i downloaded and setup the new win32 server. it's good except for a few problems

 

i set it to dedicated 1, but it still sends out a heartbeat to the master servers. i don't want this!

 

i tried to password the server but it won't work.

 

someone wanna help me out here? am i missing something, doing something wrong? command help would be appriciated

Could you put a copy of your command line and server.cfg up. It would make the troubleshooting process a bit easier.

// Server Config

seta sv_hostname "SSJK2SOD hosted by SeaWolf"

seta g_motd "Welcome to the ShugaShack Jedi Knight 2 Server Of Death"

rconpassword "*****"

 

 

seta sv_maxclients 8

seta g_inactivity 0

sv_maxRate 10000

set g_allowvote 1

set timelimit 30

set fraglimit 40

set capturelimit 20

set g_autoMapCycle 1

set g_maxForceRank 7

 

map ffa_bespin

 

and the shortcut to the server:

"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\jk2Ded.exe" +set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg

 

 

 

isn't dedicated 1 supposed to make the server LAN only and not appear on the master server list?

 

also, how does one password the server? i'm not familiar with the q3 console and i can't find any help on it

"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\jk2Ded.exe" +set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg

 

I don't see anything wrong with your command line right off the bat. I tried it myself and it worked just fine and is not sending heartbeats to the master servers.

 

// Server Config

seta sv_hostname "SSJK2SOD hosted by SeaWolf"

seta g_motd "Welcome to the ShugaShack Jedi Knight 2 Server Of Death"

seta rconpassword "*****"

//I noticed you didn't put seta in front of the rconpassword

 

seta sv_maxclients 8

seta g_inactivity 0

seta sv_maxRate 10000

//again no seta in front of sv_maxRate

 

//settings to password the server and let clients know that

sets g_needpass "1"

seta g_password "*****"

 

set g_allowvote 1

set timelimit 30

set fraglimit 40

set capturelimit 20

set g_autoMapCycle 1

set g_maxForceRank 7

 

map ffa_bespin

 

 

So, there's a few typos in there...but your command line seems fine. Since I can't reproduce the problem, this is going to be a tough one. Try making the changes to the server.cfg and take a look at the jk2mpconfig file in the /GameData/base directory and make sure it doesn't contain set dedicated "2". Let me know if you have any success.
