Re: [hlds] Server reference and a Master Server Listing Q.
Anyway, here's hoping the firmware update works and hopefully someone will come up with a good reference for hlds. ;) insert long stream of expletives here So the firmware upgrade did nothing, so here are my settings : *http://tinyurl.com/58svo Have I got them right? Or have I done something stoopid? TIA Stephen * ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
RE: [hlds] Server reference and a Master Server Listing Q.
basicly.. yes there are few if any fully complete, accurate and fully current references at least that I'm aware of, I was kinda hoping someone might respond with such as well. :( -Original Message- From: Stephen Moretti (blueyonder) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 2:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds] Server reference and a Master Server Listing Q. Thanks for the replies David and Shane, Firstly, where can I find a good complete reference for the standalone HL dedicated server? Specifically, I'm after an up to date reference for the command line params for hlds, but a good config reference wouldn't go a miss either. Am I to understand from the lack of reponse to this part of my email that there are no good references for HLDS? Regarding get the server onto the master list. I did as you suggested David - clean install - direct connection to the outside world. Put the server back behind the router or even in the router's DMZ and I get nothing. In the process of writing this email, which is now radically shorter, I thought of something to look up and I've just spent several hours Googling. I don't know whether it is the solution, but there has been a firmware update for my router, which was subsquently withdrawn cos Belkin were up to no good. http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,10413560~mode=flat~days= I'm in the process of aquiring the firmware upgrade and will see if that solves this issue. I did have an issue with running the server from the command line, but I've just realised that in all my tinkering I've chuffed the port number that the server was starting on - so no wonder that wasn't working!! hey ho :-/ Anyway, here's hoping the firmware update works and hopefully someone will come up with a good reference for hlds. ;) Incidently, what does starting hlds via the gui do differently from starting it via the command line? I noticed that a few settings, like the rcon password went astray when I started from the command line.

RE: [hlds] Server reference and a Master Server Listing Q.
Have you recently run the hldsupdatetool? If you are not running the most up to date version of dod, then your server will not show up on the master list. You could test if the problem is network based by just plugging your server directly into your network connection and then checking the server list. Try with a clean installation first, without plugins. It is not necessary to set sv_lan 0 on a clean server installation. Verify that this server shows on the list, and then put your router back in place. After verifying that the server shows up on the list, then try adding your plugins, server.cfg, and whatever else you got. While it is rare that any of this stuff will stop your server from showing up on the list, it's important to start from the ground up.

First up... sorry for the newbie question. I'm sure its been asked time and time again. :( So on to my questions. Firstly, where can I find a good complete reference for the standalone HL dedicated server? Specifically, I'm after an up to date reference for the command line params for hlds, but a good config reference wouldn't go a miss either. There are a million and one sites and faqs out there, but they all seem to be either incomplete, totally out of date or specifically for Counter Strike. Secondly, I've done everything I can think of to get my server onto the steam master lists; my port forwarding is set according to the steam port number faq; I've set sv_lan to 0. I've checked, double check, triple checked, hunted google, the steam forums everywhere to no avail. The server can be found by me on the lan and I've had people connect to it externally too, but no listing on the steam client server list. Any suggestions gratefully received. If anyone wants to take a look - the server is currently running off the gui (I'd rather it was on the console as a service - hence the reference guide requirement), can be found at 82.39.131.243:27015 and is running DoD with the new/updated maps and a couple of efrag/mardymouse custom maps that I've played recently. Be aware that this is just a test server and may not be available at all times.

Perhaps I should also add that sv_region is set to 3 (europe) as part of the dod server.cfg and the server name is Test Server | [moretticonsulting.net] regards Stephen ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
