Server Help

i made my own server with the help of shanky.com

i did everything they said...
but the zone appears red

, not green

and in subgame2.exe it sais that it is connected (yes, subbil is running too)

maybe it has something to do with a message in subgame2.exe ==> re-read settings: 0ms

what do i have to do!!

(the zone is called, Kill Zone)

More than likely you're behind a router/firewall. You need to open up the port for the server and most importantly for your specific problem open the port right after that so that it doesn't appear down on the zone list.

Are you connected to a router? Explain how you are connected.

Also you'll probably be able to connect to the zone even though it is shown as being down on your zone list.

if your using an internet connection through a wireless router that is hooked up somewhere.. I think you have to go through some process (someone give him the link) .. I use a router for my laptop because my dad will kill me if I go on his comp.. hrm cause of the music d/ls.. well nvm that.. I tried to make a zone with my laptop, it was no go.. so u prolly have to configure ur router

Shorty. You're like a year older now. Can you please type coherent sentences?

@I'm Real: If you're trying to access the internet using another PC as a gateway, it would be much easier if you could just use that computer itself to host your servers. If not, get a router

Add this to the Server directory IP=sscentral.ds98.com,sscentral.subspace.inet.fi,sscentral.subspace.net,sscentral.subspacehq.com, sscentral.subspacenetwork.com
Test it, it should work.

That can't have anything to do with it since he's obviously getting the entry from the Dir servers.

Anyway, please copy and paste the text from both servers here, with an attempted login. Copy the text by selecting it with your mouse and hitting enter.

Off topic, but why isnt catid/sos's biller in the default server.zip? The subbill that comes with it is so laggy for ur comp and does nothing.. Would be helpful..

And also, why doesnt the server.ini default have the [Cpu] settings default to not take 100% CPU Usage? Dont really under stand

CypherJF · Posted: Wed Sep 01, 2004 3:18 pm Post subject:

Simply because, it is -the- biller; and that is why it's distributed accordingly.

You should explain what each arena mode does; and note some biller's don't use the staff chat settings. :-p

Could you PLEASE copy and paste the contents of both server windows?
