Server Help

[Daniel]

having trouble finding the zone i created

trying to set this up for the comps in my office.
followed the tutorial
http://www.subspacedownloads.com/index.php?act=help&c=make_zone
everything works perfect up to the testing part, but i cant find the zone in the list.

it connects perfect to the billing server but still nothing,?

im running a dlink routher dl604 i believe and im on dsl interent

[Gibbit]

the directory servers are screwed. only 3 still work for sure, so go to the bottom of the server.ini and look for [directory] ip= and set it to these 3

sscentral.sscuservers.net
ssdir.playsubspace.com
zones.sscentral.

do the same in your zone list

if this doesn't work no harm done its still better than what the files came with.


edit: I should really try not posting stuff when I'm tired heh... didn't read carefully enough...

There might be a firewall blocking the server connecting to the directory server.
Try to connect to your zone by adding a custom zone inside Continuum. You probably need to set the IP 127.0.0.1 if you are running it from your own computer.

ok, awesome...
i can see my game when in the zones list..

but it wont let me fully connect while joining the game,
it gives me the "failed to connect to server " etc.


should i change the directory port to the one iam using, or is that for the servers itconnects to?

[Daniel]

that was me for got to specify

[Daniel]

Kay so i tried, makein a custom one and in subspace,
set the ip to 127.0.0.1
now in the subgame2.exe
when i try to join i get a "client connnection request from billing server ignored"

[Daniel]

hmm i relize ive posted 4 in a row,
anway i made the [billing] ip localhost

now i can jpoin the game but i can get my others to jpoin it??
WHY?

[Guest]

i am having the same exact problem. if you've figured this out yet let me know. i think ive read every single topic pertaining to this and i still can't figure it out. ive changed the addresses and the billing ip multiple times. i turned my firewall off to see if that was the case and still the same thing.

i finally got it to show up and then failed to connect. so i dunno

[Bak]

are you using a router to connect to the internet? If so you'll need to forward the port on your router.

If that's not it, see if others can connect using your ip (from whatismyip.com) and port rather than using the directory server.
