I had my new zone working just fine but when i went to load a merver bot it crashed. It won't come up at all now. I have tried every thing I can think of. I tried changing ip=localhost to 127.0.0.1 and that didnt work either. Im running on a lan with 2 pc's connected

1) Set "ForceContinuumOnly=" to 0 in server.ini (you posted above)
2) Add the name of the bot to vip.txt
3) Set "NoTerminal" in mervbot.ini to 0
4) Make sure the name and password of your bot is set correctly in Spawns.txt

Then try again and see the mervbot console for any error messages.

Make sure your ScoreId=1, cannot have it set to 0.

I made all these changes and still It wont re-load. If i set the ip to 127.0.0.1 it shows up in green with 1 person in it. When i try to go in it gives me the database offline box then doesnt connect after that. here is my subbll.ini

Having the biller on port 4991 is a Bad Thing.

Guest · Offline

I changed the ports to 5000 then to 2300 the zone wont even show up on the download list of continuum now..

Well I said screw it and started over. I have it working for me now but it wont load to the database list and no one else can enter it... Ive tried some of the things in the other posts with no luck. Any ideahs?

Can you enter by adding your zone manually to the list?
First get that to work, making your server public comes later.

yep i can get in it manually.. but not publicly

Attach your ini files once again (or post them), I'm not going to read this thread in reverse to find out what you actually did because it's all too vague to see.
Let's figure out why it's not showing up on the zone list.

While being on that, check if you have a firewall, make sure it's configured correctly.
Same for the router.

Make sure everything is forwarded (UDP) to the hosting computer.

i turned off the firewall as fare as i know

Guest · Offline

Jmunky85 · Novice Gender: Joined: Feb 09 2003 Posts: 77 Offline

It seems that the zone is appearing on the database for other useres now but it is shown as being red. Any ideahs as to what may be wrong?

Guest · Offline

Finally got it to work. The problem was with the router, thanks for all the help!
