Merry xmass!
Mr problem is that bzfs does not do anything after I run it. I have to ports forwarded on my firewall and on the router. I also have tried this with the same results with 2.0.4 and the lastest CVS. Here is what my conf says

-publicaddr slugkilla.game-host.org:5154
-public "blah"
-ms 4
-j
+f GM{10}
+f WG{10}
-mp 30
-world /home/blah/.bzf/worlds/anewkindofmap1.0.bzw

The file name is slugkillaserver.txt and I run it by typing
"bzfs -conf /home/blah/.bzf/slugkillaserver.txt"
can some kind folks help me out please?

you have to name it slugkillaserver.conf

then run
-conf /home/blah/.bzf/slugkillaserver.conf

Add this, just for kicks:

Code: Select all

-p 5154

Stick a -d on your bzfs command line and see what debug messages you get. They may give you a better idea of the problem.

The other thing to try is just to open up your client and connect to the IP address of your server. See if the problem is really a problem. Might be that bzfs starts up and goes resident, but your firewall is blocking UDP or not correctly punched for the ports. Also, if you have different internal IP versus external IP, you may need to NAT your traffic from the outside.

the problem was that his conf ended wioth .txt, when it's sopposed to end with .conf

I cant use a configure file either. My .../bzfs/conf.conf contains bash commands that I past in a terminal. I think it's a common problem.

And really, I remember when it did work as just "bzfs/conf."

The Knights Who Say Ni

he does not need any password, he has administrator group files( or at least knows how to) and anyway if he did have a password why would he show it here?
