[SOLVED] Creating dedicated server

[Grand Moff Tarkin]

Can anyone help me out? I've been trying to set up a server, but I do not know how.

 

[Noob]

I have no knowledge of how to create a server. But give everyone some information. Are you running it on a machine yourself or are you planning to purchase a host?

 

[Grand Moff Tarkin]

Just a home server on my machine. I want to have a place to go to with guys from duel server when it gets infested by lamers.

Simple, Download JampDed and get the Server Bat from me
After that, u just put jampded.exe into your gamedata folder, same as with the server bat.
Then you go to MBII Folder Edit the Server Cfg, about how you want it to have.
Then you go to your router, allow port 29070 and 29071.
And when you finished everything up, Start the server.bat to run the server.


Btw: Make sure you make the .txt too .bat since stupid Forum rules don't allow me to upload .bat files for what ever reason.

 

[Grand Moff Tarkin]

Thanks Dymb :3 I did that before, but apparently I missed a step (got some error when executed MBIIserver.bat), gonna do it again.

NP :3

What am I doing wrong? I don't know how to configurate this shit properly, I forwarded ports, installed everything but can't get it to work. Dymb, HALP!

I've posted error message I got in spoiler.

"*******************ERROR: This gametype is not currently supported in Movie Battles********************"
This one might be the case, i've had this prob many times, not being able to change the gametype...
But that might not be the only case, what map did you chose?

 

[Grand Moff Tarkin]

mb2_duel_votj

The line in server.cfg goes: map mb2_duel_votj, right? Also I post my server.cfg.

Spoiler

// Server Config
seta sv_hostname "test"
//seta g_motd "woot"
//rconpassword "a clever password"

// gametypes
// 0 = FFA
// 3 = DUEL one on one tournament
// 4 = POWER DUEL
// 6 = TEAM DEATHMATCH
// 7 = SIEGE
// 8 = CTF
set g_gametype 3

seta sv_maxclients 16
seta g_inactivity 0
sv_maxRate 10000
set g_allowvote 1
set timelimit 20
set capturelimit 20
set g_autoMapCycle 1

map mb2_duel_votj

Also the server.cfg is from base folder not MBII as you posted before.

 

[Princess Dymbesh]

you have to use the server cfg, which is in the Mbii folder.

 

[Grand Moff Tarkin]

You mean jampserver.cfg? I don't have server.cfg in MBII folder.

 

[Princess Dymbesh]

You should have...
Sigh, if you really don't have it take this, but put it exactly there where it has to be
Jedi Academy/gamedata/MBII
Keep in mind, change the extension to .cfg

 

[Grand Moff Tarkin]

Ok, now I don't get any errors, thanks, but I am left with command console

and nothing happens. What is supposed to happen? I run MBIIServer.bat console opens and then what?

Also, I changed master servers to new ones:
master.moviebattles.org
master2.moviebattles.org

 

[Princess Dymbesh]

Nothing is supposed to happen " Hitch warning: 1779 msec frame time" is like another word for that the server has started, or that it is the end of the starting procedure.
The server is running

 

[Grand Moff Tarkin]

Oh, great :3 Thank you. Now, how can people connect to it?

 

[TeKilla]

JampDed is a little outdated, maybe openkded for windows is a better solution.

 

[Grand Moff Tarkin]

JampDed is a little outdated, maybe openkded for windows is a better solution.

I will try it later if everything else fails. Perhaps I will do a clean install.

Right now I can't connect to it at all. I tried checking my IP and using /connect (myIP):29071 but it doesn't work :<
Also if I change gametype from 7 to 3 I get error (Error: BotLibShutdown: bot library used before being setup) and server doesn't start at all.

 

[TeKilla]

maybe is some kind of port conflict.
Add +set net_port 29075 into your command line to force a different port

And dont change seta g_gametype parameters

 

[Szunti]

g_gametype should always be 7, g_Authenticity sets the mode (0 open, 1 semi-authentic, 2 authectic, 3 duel)

 

[Szunti]

you can also try to connect to localhost:29071 or whatever port you need. If it works, then the problem is with your router/firewall not allowing the connection. If it doesn't work than it can be anything. Or run the server and try the 'netstat -a' command from the command prompt or how it's called on windows. If it lists your server listening on the port, then I think it also means that the firewall/router settings are wrong.
