Im running win32 ded server.

 

The servers up and running at the remote host, but i can't connect.

 

I have run tribes 1, and tribes 2 servers just fine from this same computer, but can't seem to figure out why i can't connect this time.

 

I am a network novice, but is this something to do with the default port not being open to this computer or something of the sorts? and if so is there a way i can make my remote computer open this port up?

Are you sure the server is actually running? Do you have access to the console via something like pcAnywhere? If so, what does your startup console spam look like? Have you tried to query the server? As far as the ports go, is the server behind a firewall or does is it running a software firewall? What's your command line look like?

 

Sorry for all the questions, but I left my crystal ball at the office. ;)

heres the funny thing...on my own computer..if i try and setup a dedicated server using the dedicated command or the jk2ded.exe it doesnt show up and i cant even connect to myself..

 

but if i create a non ded server from in game....it will show up in The all seeing eye...

 

and EVEN more interesting is that if i start a dedicated server from WITHIN jk2 menu...it shows up also...

 

it just doesnt seem to be properly running...also when i ran the dedicated server from inside jk2 it gave me like 5x as much server info...like including what it was loading and stuff.

 

my normal command line is just this

 

"D:\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\jk2ded.exe" +set dedicated 5 +exec server.cfg

 

and its totally not working.

yea so far this is the worst crap of a server I have seen in wait well the first crappy server I have seen lol. I have run Wolf and renegade fine without problems and renegade especially runs well on my T1 and works great but this thing is an absolute piece of shiat. I dunno but I thought the hype and the thing to do in the gameworld from all the hype was supposed to be multiplayer or massive multiplayer and all these games even on quake 3 ta come out and are complete crap. I don't care who designed or made the game but it took a third party like super charlie to create a dedicated server script? I mean christ put it out with the game. I sort of expect multiplayer now for the price of the game and it better work too. I guess raven and the publisher as of most are maybe more concerned with money at x date then money for more dates. The other thing I like about renegade is the built in clans and ladders I mean it was well thought out even though the mp has its quirks. I like the server browser in this game and it totally wins hands down over rtcw's server browser which is a piece of crap. One more before I end my rant is the renegade net code works great for 56k people too another thing or feature that game developers exclude since just about everyone and their mother has a dialup compared to the few that do have something over 384k.

ok heres the deal..on my own computer i can setup a server others can connect to if i run the dedicated server through the menu system in game. It shows up and people can connect.

 

Now if i run the jk2 dedicated server jk2ded i cannot ping it and i cannot join it BUT it does show up in All Seeing eye as

 

"UNSCANNED 9999"

 

All seeing eye wont even show anythign if the dedicated server isnt running.

 

So im not really sure wtf is going on...but obviously theres something wrong with running the dedicated server command..it does it if i run "dedicated from jk2mp.exe also.

First off, you need to use +set dedicated 2

 

...I noticed you are using 5. You also seem to have something in your server.cfg that isn't formatted correctly as I can see it produce an error. Post your server.cfg so I can take a look at it. In the mean time, change the 5 to a 2 and see what happens. To verify that the server is working, type status into the server console and see what it says. If it says "server not running" then odds are you don't have a map rotation running. If you see it display the map name and (probably empty) player list, at least then you know it started up correctly.

yea it was a problem with the map..but i still need help. with my config i guess..

 

I had to run the command with +map ffa_bespin to load a map and actually start the server.

 

It wont cycle through maps either..its stuck on bespin and wont change at the end of the time limit. if you can help me out that would be awesome.

 

As for gametype 5 isnt that TEAMFFA? which is what i want it at and it seems to have worked.

That is what I'm talking about--not the gametype. You put dedicated 5, when it should be 0, 1 or 2. As far as your rotation, you have g_autoMapCycle set ON so that means you shouldn't be using the custom rotation. If you want the custom rotation, set it OFF (0). One way or another you need to add something to the end of the config. That would be one of the following:

 

map ffa_bespin // Starts map for g_autoMapCycle "1"

 

vstr d1 // Starts map for custom rotation

 

You need one of those two things at the end depending on if you want to use autoMapCycle or not. Then you don't need +map in your command line.

Ok, I'm going to pretend that you have set the rconpassword in your config to *****.

 

1) Connect to the server

 

2) Hold down shift and hit ` to bring down the console

 

3) Type: /set rconpassword *****

 

4) Type: /rcon map ffa_bespin

 

That would change the map to ffa_bespin. Just replace the map name with the one you want. If you try to change to a map that is set for a different game type--duel_carbon, for example--then it will probably complain unless you change the gametype as well.

I also have this problem, on a Linux dedicated server.

 

I really don't want to reinstall as it means uploading the best part of 700 meg over 64k :(

 

the error message I get is no rcon password set

 

but it is in my server.cfg
