fattysbox Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Hey guys, ? Two of my friends and I want to create an open server where we fight 3 vs 3... The problem is I dont think I am setting up the server correctly. Every time I create, no one joins (except my two friends hehe). I guess Im not setting up the server correctly so that anyone can see it... My question is what can I do to correct this? I am playing at a Medical institution where there firewalls have stopped some other games, could this be the case here? Also, I am running the earliest version of JK2 with no patches installed. Any suggestions? Also, anybody willing for a 3v3 game? Maybe we could join... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|GG|Carl Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 are you playing in a LAN network ith your friends? = Are they in the same house as you are when you play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattysbox Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 Yeah we play over a LAN... However we can easily connect to servers outside of the LAN that we create games in. I just want to know what requirements there must be to host a game outside of a LAN that is accessible to everyone. I guess I'm pretty newbish at this stuff.

|GG|Carl Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 1. It's almost impossible to host a server with slow connection. You must have ISDN, DSL or broadband to do that. 2. Do exactly the same way as you do when you create a LAN server, exept for one thing, choose: dedicated server: Internet instead of: dedicated server: LAN When you have done that, JO will shut down, and you will find a "console" instead. DON'T CLOSE IT! cause that's the server... Start jedi outcast again, and push "join" instead of "create". To join, do exactly the same way as you join a LAN game, exept for one thing, choose: Source: Local instead of: Source: LAN There you shall find your server! just click the join button and you're in it! NOTE: All of your friends must choose: Source: Internet Instead of: Source: Local and Source: LAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 There is also a seperate file specifically created for running dedicated servers (on a dedicated computer for example) both for linux and win32. See the files section for details... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
