How To Make A Server (or, Using TJW's Server in Windows)

[brendanvos]

Foo, you said you would post alternate game and tremded files below and you never did, i have an error which people said was from those files not corresponding which i downloaded from your guide, where can i get compatible game and tremded files?

[Archangel]

He said it two years ago, good chance you'll get a reply never. Just look around the forums, hundreds of people already have asked the same questions.

[brendanvos]

Ok now i dont seem to have any errors but I cant find my server... can someone check my counsel? Here it is:

Oh and in command prompt it says: C:\Program Files\Tremulous>tremded.exe +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg +set net_port 32123

[Archangel]

It's working fine, but most routers won't let YOU see it in the list because you're local. Try adding 127.0.0.1:32123 in your favorites list.

[brendanvos]

Just click new favorite in tremulous and type all that in under IP address? I did that and no new maps showed up. What does adding that do?

[Archangel]

It adds your local IP to your favorites list.

[brendanvos]

So after i do that should i see something? Nothing appears in my favorite list and my server doesn't appear anywhere.

[brendanvos]

  IM SO CLOSE! I think my counsel is correct and i added my ip address to my favorites and it came up with my niveus map and the server name was my ip address instead of Bren's First server plus there was no server info or PING for my server. What do I do now? I think "couldn't exec autoexec.cfg" might be a problem. Heres my counsel:

As your IP is in the 192.168.*.* range your server is probably behind a NAT router. This means that the your server can probably send data to the master server, but that the master server (and players) are not able to send any data to your server.
You have to set up a port forwarding for UDP port 32123 on your router.

[David]

All those hitch warnings mean your computer can't handle a server (Or your running something big in the background).

[brendanvos]

Well I already have it set up as Start: 32123 End: 32123 UDP and my ip address as 192.168.1.100 but should i have it as my static ip (192.168.1.101)? Or the ip address i type in as administrator (192.169.1.1)?

[brendanvos]

WOOHOO MY SERVER IS WORKING!! THANKS FOR ALL UR HELP!! but now it doesnt show up under internet, I have to type in Bren's First server and 192.168.1.100:32123 in new favorite. How can i get my server to show up on the internet list? thanks!

[Archangel]

It won't show up in the internet list because you're local to it, lots of routers NAT's won't allow it/break on it.

[brendanvos]

So is there any thing I can do to make my server show up in the master list? I have my port forwarding set to Tremulous Start: 32123 End: 32123 and Both UDP and TCP. Anything I can change? My friend can access the server by adding my server name and ip address but only if we are on the same network. I've spent many hours working on setting up a sever and I really need a solution. kthxbi!

OHHH AND PS. I USE A LINKSYS WRT54G ROUTER!

[Wyvrn]

I hav a few questions...

wat is a recommended c editor for the .qvm and tremed.exe?

i could not find the "default guide" on the port forwarding thing

search forums for the error. It has the solution everywhere.

[David]

You're QVM and tremded don't match.
EG one is old, and one is updated.
You can get a more up-to-date tremded from http://releases.mercenariesguild.net/tremded/

[Amanieu]

Actually this error occurs because the game.qvm you are using is too old. Get Lakitu7's qvm.

[Darth Futuza]

Can someone tell me what the proper syntax for LAN dedicated server in the batch file:

I have this:

tremulous.exe +set dedicated 1 +weaponmod +exec server_weapon.cfg

The dedicated server works fine, except for the fact that the mod isn't included (+weaponmod) when I try to run it from the batch file.  The mod works fine if I select from in game in the 'mod' list.  weaponmod is a folder out of the base file (in the main tremulous folder), which has a cfg and a pk3 file in it.

Help would be appreciated, thanks in advanced.

[David]

+weaponmod should be +set fs_game weaponmod

[Darth Futuza]

^^  Shall do.  Thanks a lot!

[Kunari]

Problem is, it stays on that place for so long.. no nothing comes up.  What must I do?

Thx for any help.

slowly slowly, it does this : 

[David]

It's running fine.  That's what the server does.
Run a client and connect or whatever.

[Kunari]

Sry but do you mean run Default tremulous exe? but how do I know where my server is?

[CreatureofHell]

you run the tremserver.bat

[David]

He has dedicated set to 2, so odds are good he started it right.

You server will be at whatever your IP is, or 127.0.0.1.
Run a client and /connect 127.0.0.1 and it should connect.  Change the name in server.cfg so you can find it on the list, although it will probably never show up on the list for you.  You can check if it shows up at master.tremulous.net

[Kunari]

hey thx for helping, got the server runnin for me. Now all I have to do is try to get it seen by the master server.

[mooseberry]

Sending heartbeat to master.tremulous.net

It is.

[abc]

hello, ok i tried it and it didn't work so i uninstalled trem and deleted <main> and <user> but when i reinstall it, it does not install <user> at all...
