Server configuration tool with a GUI

Thanks Jack, keep up the good work!

 

can you make a zombie mode one with this?

 

Yep, I run my zombie server using this tool. To manage the difficulty and the types of zombies, use the Manager Editor, or just select the one included with the game. All the other config (build, time, min players, teams, resources, etc) can be set using the other editors (Game mode, Team and Class editors). I'll try to make a little guide and post it here later. But it can be easily done :)

 

Is it possible to have like random maps cycling with this mod, because I want to run a zombie server.
My friend also can't join my server.

 

Yes you can. To use the same map generator as KAG, load the file "ZombieFortress.gm" from the Maps folder. This file will generate random zombie-type maps.

Regarding your second problem, check your IP and port using the "Test port" button. If you get an error, maybe you haven't forwarded your ports correctly and sadly, I can't help you with that. Maybe there's more info here wiki.kag2d.com/Server.


Also remember that zombie servers should set the "Allow only Gold players" checkbox to true and you have to have a premium account (buy the game).

 

My versions can edit the map generator...
But buggy...

 

Ok, I know how to get some random maps now, but I already tested my port and it was working correctly. I also had set my server for gold players only, but he still couldn't join.

 

What kind of error did he get? Could he see the server on the list? Was anyone else able to join your server?

The problem is probably related to your connection or maybe to KAG, as this app just sets some info that the game uses to start the server. Try to run a basic server (On Windows, double click the "dedicatedserver.bat" file on the game folder) and check if he can get in. If he can't then you should troubleshoot your connection and maybe ask for help in the Help section of the forum :)

 

have you enabled the KAG port into your firewall?
also remember to allow it into your modem.
if any more problems happen message me. instead of posting here :P
~also sorry for posting not about the config tool :P bit unrelated :P

 

The error he got said he got disconnected and he had to check his ip and internet. If I use the basic server, I can't even join it myself...

 

Maybe he got disconnected because of high ping. Go to the advanced server config and raise the "Max ping" value to something higher (like 500 or 1000) "Max ping warning" should be 200 and "Max hack warning" 25.

I can't connect to my own server?
(Newbie server maker here)
Can ya help me how to connect to own server
it says "Make sure the server is running bla bla bla"

 

I raised the max ping to 1000, but he still gets an error, which says 'please check the adress again, and make sure the server is running'.

 

My guess would be that you have not correctly forwarded the ports you are using. You need to check if that's working correctly.
Any connection problem is related to networking/KAG and not this tool, so I can't really help you. Try to post a new thread stating your problem, someone may be able to help you there :)

 

When i make the server and test the port it says test successful but then when i go into kag it says make sure the server is running i go to the server config thing and i look at the sever output and it says match ended please help me
and can you do a tutorial on how to make a server please:)

 

Try running the "dedicatedserver.bat" file in the KAG main folder and then try to connect to it. If you can't then there's a problem with your network/firewall/router configuration and the "Test port" would be bugged :\

To see a tutorial, press F1, there's a help file with some info and images, I just forgot to add it to the help menu :P

 

thanks but how do you do the stuff with the firewall like adding ports and stuff

 

Firewall and router configurations have to be figured out by yourself, as there's not an easy way to make a guide for every possible configuration out there. You should open a thread asking for help or google the info.

 

The config tool hasn't been working for me for about a week WHY?! (I don't think it's the configs fault but it comes up with windows needs to close this program due to error. Then do you want to send error report... Etc.
I think I'm gonna have to redownload KAG and the config tool and start fresh.

EDIT: I tried your server today...... :/ CRAZY! :P

 

No idea, probably a bad update? Try redownloading the latest build and erasing the KAGServer.ini file. If that doesn't solve it, post here :)
