SuperCharlie Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I spiffed up the program quite a bit and included my newfound launch bat file options as well as auto IP detection and wrapped it all up in a nice setup.exe. For Win only. Get it here: http://jk2dedlauncher.tripod.com/ Currently the program supports: Server Name MOTD Game Type Beginning Map Max Players Time Limit Frag Limit Duel Frag Limit Capture LImit Inactivity Kick Force Power Level Lan or Web Game Saber Only Allow Vote Game Password Console Pwd (rcon) Custom Map Rotation Run last setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerys Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Something really freaky's going on. Earlier today I downloaded version 1.5 from your web site. On another computer I just downloaded version 1.1 from the same website. Needless to say this was unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacenSolo2001 Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Great work!! Quick question, if I'm running a server, when i log on to play how can i add a bot? whats the correct syntax? if i set the password to just password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerys Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Thanks for making this utility available. My server ran just fine with the 1.1 version so you know the old saying about if it ain't broke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLI_Fallen Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 I for one simply could not run a dedicated server *AND* have the parameters easily changed by someone else who is not a consol-rocket-scientist because this server is remotely administered using PCAnywhere. And JKII (and 98% of other games) just wont display video properly on the remote end. So having a simple front end to launch it is my only real option for our members to admin the server. THANK YOU!!

SuperCharlie Posted April 27, 2002 Author Share Posted April 27, 2002 Thanks like yours are the reason and payment I and a lotta other programmers do this kinda stuff for. From as best I can tell Ive had around 100 people download it, but very few comment afterwards. I appreciate the feedback and your very welcome.

SsP45 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 I can't get the Launcher to work. Whenever I hit "Start Server" the program just ends and nothing else happens. It just exits itself and JK2 doesn't start up. Am I supposed to wait or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SsP45 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Nevermind, I'm stupid. I forgot to download the Dedicated Server files as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperCharlie Posted April 27, 2002 Author Share Posted April 27, 2002 Its 10 am and I dont see ya man.. also theres no options for team based.. dunno how ya set this one.. Load a regular game and get the All Seeing Eye ( http://www.udpsoft.com/eye/ )and see if ya show up there. Also watch your console box when the server launches, it should say sending heartbeat to Ravens master or somethin like that.. if it does, then you should show up in the lists...

SC Okay, mine says that but no one else can see my server. I think I need to open up port 28070. Anyone know how to do that? The computer that is connected to my cable modem is a P 120 with 2 network cards in it acting as a pseudo router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how to do that? The computer that is connected to my cable modem is a P 120 with 2 network cards in it acting as a pseudo router. Another update. If I let the server just sit there, it keeps retrying (every 5 or 10 minutes) to send the heartbeat to masterjk2.ravensoft.com. I think something is blocking the heartbeat signal from leaving my LAN. I think it goes back to that 28070 port again. Any ideas on how to open it to allow the JK2 heartbeat to pass would be most helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a cut and paste of what the JK2 console is saying for my server. Hitch warning: 1809889 msec frame time Resolving masterjk2.ravensoft.com masterjk2.ravensoft.com resolved to 204.97.24 Sending heartbeat to masterjk2.ravensoft.com Hitch warning: 2216 msec frame time Sending heartbeat to masterjk2.ravensoft.com Sending heartbeat to masterjk2.ravensoft.com Sending heartbeat to masterjk2.ravensoft.com It can't get past sending the heartbeat to ravensoft.

I have Windows automatically pick one whenever any of the computers reboots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard from other message boards that for a JK2 server, you need port 28070 open... is that true? If it is, do you know how to open or to forward that port?

SLI_Fallen Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 I hate to be a greedy bastard, but... (you knew that was coming no? ) Can you include the inactivity timeout parameter at some point. Criminy, I cant even go take a piss without getting booted, hehe. I know this is to "kill the campers" but in sabers only I would like to set it somewhat higher than the friggin TWO MINUTES that is the default..

JacenSolo2001 Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 while running a server using this Launcher, is it possible to manually add bots from the console while I'm playing? If so, whats the correct way to do so? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
