Error with conf file

[The Guardian]

Hi, all!

I've finally decided to try out hosting a public server for a day (or more, if it's succesfull...). Anyway, as you guessed, if didn't work. Here's the contents of my conf file:

-world "The Cross Fire.bzw"

-passwd password

-public "The Guardian's The Cross Fire"

-publicaddr theguardian.game-host.org:5154

It didn't give any error, but it didn't show up on the list of servers. Can somebody please help me resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance,

-passwd

That's the first thing to change. It's:

-password yourpassword

And did you check to make sure that your firewall, router, etc. isn't blocking your server from getting through? You might have to open a port depending on your internet setup.

Another thing is your game-host thing wasn't updated. I know with no-ip.com it takes about four-five minutes for things to process, therefore if you just created it, and it hadn't processed, it might not be up. Just an idea.

Also, if global logins don't work when you do get it up, I use this:

-publiclist http://db.bzflag.org/db/

Also, is your map in the same directory as the bzfs things and conf and all? You might need a path to it.

That's about all I can think of as to not getting through.

Ok. I'll check my firewall and my "-passwd" thing.

also, give full path to the .bzw file.
