Local Dedicated Server Troubles

So i just got my key and want to make a few maps and get the hang of hosting local servers before i decide to buy a server from these guys:

http://www.hostedgameservers.com/game_server/king-arthurs-gold-game-server-hosting

... but it keeps telling me that im not logged in every time i try to connect. Plus im not sure where to put the password or how to set one (a join password i mean).
The read me isnt as descriptive as i hoped so im kinda stumped.

ps. do i still need to forward the port if im not running a router? i have kag in the exception list but i dont know how to forward ports like that on my firewall :/

 

For your firewall, you can just turn it off to be blunt. If you don't have a router, make sure you don't have Internet Service Provider(ISP) conflicts because some block UDP ports.

Edit dedicated_autoconfig.gm to set the settings such as sv_password (server password). This file is found in ~KAG\Base\scripts\
You can open this file with Notepad. So double click, hit select a default program to open, then choose notepad.

I've uploaded my server's config file here:
http://pastebin.com/5ARr74dT
It's formatted and functional.

As for not logged in, see line 83 in my upload
global sv_require_auth = 1; // If set to 1 server checks client authentication via master server.
Set that to 0 so you can connect via the Connect command and you don't have to go through the Master server (server browser).

sv_password sets the server's password.

sv_rconpassword sets remote console password. in game, hit the home key, type \rcon (password here) to gain Rcon access then \rcon \(command) to use it.

see lines 77 and 78 for setting default ports for your server.

Good luck.

 

it doesnt have:
global sv_require_auth
...in the document at all. gonna try adding it after the sv_rconpassword line (of course while backing it up)

other then that this helps a lot, thanks! ill post my progress

 

Yeah, just add it to the file. Make sure to put Global before the command.
