Please ... Help Me

[goodfellow]

Ok i've been trying to get myself a dedicated server up and running for about a week now. I've been reading these forums and following everyones advice. I've managed to get a server running but it always shows up as a local one and will not list on the master internet list.

 

Beside the host name of my server is has (UDB) or something to that effect...can someone please help?

 

Another problem i've come across when I tried loading a server with that program win32 server... i get these errors.....

The server expects to find a file in the base folder called autoexec.cfg. However, it's not necessary. If it disturbs you to see it, just create an empty file with that name. The comment about the usage of set means that there's something in your server.cfg that isn't worded correctly. If you post yoru config, I'll take a look at it for you.

 

The reason the server shows up in your local list with UDP is because that's just how it looks when it's local to you. As long as the server is able to (and set to) report to the master server then others should still see it in the internet list. As long as people are joining, it should be ok.

 

The hitch warnings are the servers way of saying "I was thinking really hard about something and it might have caused some lag for any connected players". It's common during startup, but if you get it while people are playing it means the cpu is getting maxed out.

There is my server .cfg and Matrix thanks a lot for taking the time to help me out, means a lot.

I noticed you have sv_fps set to 50. I'd recommend you set it back to the default of 20. Setting it higher generally results in higher lag. Also, I'm guessing your not using the custom rotation any more?

[goodfellow]

Yeah I'm trying to go for the whole unique and different maps idea, probably not such a good idea seeing how most people hate having to download but I'm tired of the normal base maps and wanted something new. Any idea on what is wrong when I kept getting that usage error?

[MatrixCPA]

You should just use set instead of seta for the map rotation. I also noticed this line at the end of the rotation:

 

seta d9 "la_magra ; set nextmap vstr d1"

 

I think it should read:

 

seta d9 "map la_magra ; set nextmap vstr d1"

 

I'm not sure if that will cure your usage warning. I suppose you could start commenting out sections until it goes away to narrow it down or you might need to check you jk2mpconfig.cfg for some leftover setting that's causing it.
