I have one problem and a question. The problem is when i start a server noone can see it/ join it. Do i need a slot or something that i need to pay for or? I have heard about the All seeing eye . Does that make your server visible?
And the question: Other servers has game messages like "Visit our webiste at www.esurfh.org" (for example) They are in yellow text. How do you do them? In the console our in programs???
Thanksful for help...
Is your server a home server or dedicated? If its a home server you can make it show in gamespy by ticking the gamespy option - im not sure how long it takes to update.
The yellow text messages are added through the maps script, example...
in mohdm2.scr
main:
level waittill prespawn
thread mymessages
level waittill spawn
end
mymessages:
while (1)
{
wait 10
iprintln "welcome to blah blah"
wait 5
iprintln "more blah"
wait 10
iprintln "even more blah"
wait 30
}
end
A good program for server messaging and managing is Crow Kings Autokick, it allows you to message the server, kick/ban/set a max ping ban bad words etc etc.
Where can i get Crowns Autokick???
Shall the file be in the Main folder?
A question: Can i have a normal server for gamespy that i can play on because im not the server type or do i need to find someone to be server admin for my clan? Oh i mean can i have a normal server (not dedicated) that still is there when i leave it?
Autokick you install in windows and run from your desktop.
You mean run a home server and leave it running? For that you need to run a dedicated server and make sure you leave it running, itll also need a server.cfg with map rotation/rcon etc set up for your admins to use. Theres some info here in the scripting forums (converting sp maps to mp) that shows you how to run a dedicated home server
Ok thx a lot now i understand a little bit more about servers. :yes
I still cant make the servers visible....
I have Gamespy Arcade and The All-seeing eye. But i still dont know how to make servers visible.
what is your ip I will see if I can find you
and have you got this line in your server.cfg file
seta sv_gamespy "1"
Hmmm i think i must uninstall Moh:AA because some of my files (like the server.cfg do i not know where is it) have disappeared from the place where i installed Moh:AA.
Where can i see my ip adress?
is it a rented server or are you using your PC?
I just use a normal pc.
Any one else help him - I havent used pc to host _ have a rented.
and have you got this line in your server.cfg file
seta sv_gamespy "1"
Hmmm i think thats the problem. I searched for it (server.cfg) with pakscape but didnt find it. In what pk3 pak is it??
