Nothing's loading...help?

Ok, I go in to bzflag and it says "Can't talk with list server"

It won't find any servers and keeps displaying that message on the HUD.

So I type in a server that's running and it won't connect to that either.

Is it just a technical difficulty on the list server and will be fixed soon, or did something random just happen to my bzflag?

If you cant manually connect to any of the servers then it is either a bzflag or firewall problem.

If you can connect to a local server that would suggest that it was a firewall problem and vice-versa

Currently, http://my.bzflag.org/serverlist.php returns a list of servers. Is that the same interface the bzflag client uses? I'm not at home right now, so I can't check what my mine says. Check your local network settings, especially if you're using a router. Try refreshing your Internet connection. Reset your modem/router. Temporarily disable your firewall. Check port blocking. Scan for malware. Re-install bzflag?

http://my.bzflag.org/serverlist.php << I don't believe this is the serverlist bzflag uses. It probably uses an html less page

[khazhyk]

no, that's not what it uses, it uses my.bzflag.org/db

last time this happend to me it was something wrong with the bzflag code. did you re-install bzflag?

ducatiwannabe, are you running 2.0.4, 2.0.5 beta or v2_branch CVS?

And now it works...talk about creepy...thanks for your time.

my laptop displays this when i have no wireless network signal on my iBook. It simply meant that 1, your internet conection crashed briefly, your firewall blocked the ports or some dodgy crap with your ISP. most likely number 1.


p.s. dosn't my.bzflag.org/serverlist.php take it's info directly from the list server at my.bzflag.org/db? so in effect they are the same. you just can't use the stats page to list your server.
