Post subject: HELP: My Zone has Boobed up!

My zone boobs up, the moment I get in, it disconnects. for some reason, I can't send screenshots. But I can dictate what they imply:

IN ZONE: WARNING: DISCONNECTED FROM SERVER (no data)

OUT ZONE; IN MENU: Noxblast Death: 1 (I don't know why it says that, ONE PLAYER, because no-body's in there.)

I followed http://www.shanky.com/server help, you know, Making sure that S2CNoDataKickOut is higher than KeepAliveDelay, and all that... and that doesn't help one bit, I sent MineGoBoom several messages on it, and he hasn't bothered to reply...

Any hints people? because this is peeing me off something chronic...

What does the server window show when you try to connect?
You could post your server.ini so wise people can help you spot what's wrong in it.

How can I make A screenshot and post it here? Because I aint writing it all out

Solo Ace - Sun Mar 20, 2005 3:16 pm
Post subject:

You don't have to make a screenshot of the console windows, you can just copy the text from them.

To copy the text from a console:
Right-click on the console -> select -> [select the text you want to copy by dragging the cursor over the console while having the left mouse button down] -> hit the Enter key on your keyboard; after doing this the selected text is on your clipboard and can be used for pasting.

Now, for your server.ini.

Make sure this is set to your internet (public) IP address, this can (most likely, because the average newbie doesn't use anything like a proxy server) be found on http://www.whatismyip.com/.

I doubt this port number would cause any problems, but IP=127.0.0.1 is invalid, use localhost instead.

You make your iteration faster by not using 100% CPU. You don't use 100% CPU by using Catid's biller. Thus, you are on the right track.

Your ScoreID needs to be >0. Make it your port number or something.

The mathematical symbol '>' in Cyan~Fire's post means "greater than".
So what he actually said was:

Cyan~Fire wrote:

By "Make it your port number or something." he meant: "Make the score equal to the port number (or some other random number)".
Your port number is set to 7000, so you could set your ScoreID to that.

Acording to what it says, you should change the values here to 7000 (since thats your port). Or just do what Solo Ace said.

Eh, I'm sorry for confusing you, I guess you should try both, doesn't matter anyway.

Most (well, all of them I guess) directory servers use 4991 to listen on, that doesn't mean billing servers can't use that port, he's not running his own directory server anyway.
