SERVER HELP

Our clan EWOD wants to make a server but we have tried everything can anyone help us or know a good server making tool

 

I am thinking of making a video tutorial for this.. I just need a good screen recorder (tried Fraps and camtasia)
There are a lot of threads in the hosting trouble shooting part of the forum that you would be able to piece together a way of making a server, that's what I did.

I'm on iPod ATM so this will be extremely breif:
A few things to remember
-allow the ports onto your modem.
-allow 50301 past your firewall (this only needs to be done on some computers.
-make sure in dedicated_autoconfig the line saying;
~Join_address: (your IP here) :50301 ~actually has your IP
I will reply to this in more detail later but as I said I'm on iPod :P

 

thanks and when you make the tutorial can you tell me please

 

First of all, you should try the wiki, but I'll help you anyways.
Step one.
Download linux server software from: http://kag2d.com/en/download (Works on any platform, it is 14.7 mb)
Step two.
Extract the content of the zipfile into your KAG directory.
Step three.
Configure your server:
Dedicated_autoconfigs.gm

Spoiler

global sv_maxplayers = 16; // Maximum number of players allowed ingame.
global sv_ip = ``; // Leave it blank for ease.
global sv_port = 50301; // Server communication port, this is where it listens for incoming clients. Remember to open this port in your firewall.
global cl_port = 50328; // Client communication port.
global sv_port = 50301; // Server communication port, this is where it listens for incoming clients.
global sv_password = ``; // Sets the server password.
global sv_rconpassword = ``; // Sets the server remote console password. This is important if you want to have control over your server.
global sv_gold_only = 0; // If set to 1 only premium account players can join.
global sv_allow_globals_mods = 1; // If set to 1 global KAG moderators and admins can kick/ban players on server.
global sv_maxping = 450; // Max ping allowed on server after which player is kicked. Large ping players will slow down server.
global sv_maxping_warnings = 200; // Because of ping spikes, warnings are issued if a player has ping over max number.
global sv_maxhack_warnings = 25; // Maximum amount of warnings where server thinks player is hacking.
global sv_alloweditor = 1; // If set to 1 players that have RCON can start map editor on server
global sv_name = `KAG game`; // Sets the server name displayed in server browser.
global sv_info = ``; // Sets the server info displayed in server browser. If you want it multi-line simply move text to new line with enter.

Dedicated_autostart.gm

Spoiler

// autostart on dedicated server launch
//set autostartswitch to:
// 0 for CTF
// 1 for TDM
// 2 for Sandbox
// 3 for Zombies
// 4 for RTDM
// 10 for TEST

global autostartswitch = 0; - This is where you choose what gamemode you want.

newWorld( "" );
switchGameState(0);

startServer();

if (autostartswitch == 0) //ctf
{
LoadRules("Rules/CTF/gamemode.cfg"); - This is where the gamemode gets its rules
LoadMapCycle( "Scripts/mapcycle.cfg" ); - This is what maps the gamemode will have.
LoadMap( "" );
print(`Loaded CTF default config`);
}
else if (autostartswitch == 1) //tdm
{
LoadRules("Rules/TDM/gamemode.cfg");
LoadMapCycle( "Scripts/mapcycle.cfg" );
LoadMap( "" );
print(`Loaded TDM default config`);
}
else if (autostartswitch == 2) //sandbox
{
LoadRules("Rules/Sandbox/gamemode.cfg");
LoadMapCycle( "Scripts/mapcycle.cfg" );
LoadMap( "" );
print(`Loaded TDM default config`);
}
else if (autostartswitch == 3) //zombies (GOLD ONLY)
{
LoadRules("Rules/Zombie_Survival/gamemode.cfg");
LoadMapCycle( "Rules/Zombie_Survival/ZombieMapCycle.cfg" );
LoadMap( "" );

print(`Loaded zombies default config : server now in GOLD MODE`);
} else if (autostartswitch == 4) //rtdm
{
LoadRules("Rules/RTDM/gamemode.cfg");
LoadMapCycle( "Rules/RTDM/RTDMMapCycle.cfg" );
LoadMap( "" );
print(`Loaded RTDM default config`);
}else
if (autostartswitch == 10) //test
{
LoadRules("Rules/TEST/gamemode.cfg");
LoadMapCycle( "Scripts/mapcycle.cfg" );
LoadMap( "" );
print(`Loaded TEST default config`);
}

print(`Config finished loading from Scripts/Server/dedicated_autostart.gm`);

Step four.
Forward these ports: 50301, 50328, 51308
Try to find your router here: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm
If you don't try to recall the brand of your router and visit their homepage.
Step five.
Run server via dedicatedserver.bat
The player that is hosting has to connect via: "Connect to" 192.168.xx.xxx

Kouji so it wasn't working because i wasn't in it it only works if i go to connect to then everyone else can do it

 

People sharing your network has to use connect to, as well. Others dont.
