Hosting Server [SOLVED] Problems hosting a server.

[Karus]

Hi,
I've been wanting to create my own server for a long time and I've only just got round to trying it.
Anyhow, I've done pretty much everything except portforward at the moment, and I've ran into an issue with the server.bat.

It just continues saying "DEBUG" downwards.
I'm assuming I've done something wrong.
Any help will be extremely appreciated!
Thanks!

This is because somewhere you have "developer 1" option.
Maybe in command line, maybe in config.
Remove it to disable debug messages.

Also learn how to post pictures using bbcodes:

This is how you actually should post it:

Thanks! That was the problem, and thanks for the bbcode suggestion.
However:

Is it now working, or am I faced with a new problem?

Heartbeats sent - working.

Just to confirm, servers working fine, only shows in Local for me but for everyone else shows up in Internet.
Thanks for the help guys.

I guess this is normal, other servers owners also report they don't have their own servers in their lists.

I've only got one more question:
Is there some kind of command list here on the forum I can use?
I don't really know what I'm doing once in the server.
Also, when I tried to change map to mb2_duel_votj (devmap mb2_duel_votj), the game crashed and said "VM Create on UI Failed"

Not sure about the forums, but you can type "cmdlist" in server's console.

I don't really know what I'm doing once in the server.

That depends on what do you want.

Also, when I tried to change map to mb2_duel_votj, the game crashed and said "VM Create on UI Failed"

Weird. Does that happen every time?

 

[Karus]

Yeah, everytime I try, it crashes.
Normal map change works fine, e.g:
smod map (mapname)
But I want to have cheats enabled on the maps I switch to.
When I type;
smod devmap (mapname)
it says that "devmap" is not a recognized smod command.
And when I try:
devmap (mapname)
the game simply crashes and displays the VMWare error.

 

[Puppytine]

This makes some difference, you should explain what exactly you were trying to do from a first time.

When I type;
smod devmap (mapname)
it says that "devmap" is not a recognized smod command.

Yes, there is no "devmap" command for smod.

And when I try:
devmap (mapname)
the game simply crashes and displays the VMWare error.

Yes, since you use jampDed as a server and jamp as a client that's exactly what should happen.

When you're typing "devmap" IN CLIENT, you aren't ordering server to change a map, indeed; instead, you're creating a NEW (second) server, just in process of client (this is a just another way to host a server), and then client connects to it.
But to start a server, both server and client have to extract from mbii.pk3 and then load a library called jampgamex86.dll.
When client is extracting that library, it's already loaded, and, therefore locked by server, so client fails with "VM Create" error.

You can learn a little more about dll extracting here:
Hosting Server - Start three servers on one host machine

Using MB Client or openjkded.exe will help to get rid of "VM Create" error, but won't help to change a map on server, indeed.

Solution:
Type in client's console:

rconpassword Islander
rcon devmap mb2_dotf

Where "Islander" is your actual rcon password from server's config.

Or,

type

devmap mb2_dotf

in server's console, I mean in Windows console window, that is on your screenshot.

 

[Karus]

That worked perfectly.
Thanks for the help!

I've created a server but when I go to connect him that I have a error Please start the game via launcher and keep it running

I'd say make sure the launcher is open at all times when playing, even if you're launching the game with a .bat file.
