I noticed you have a lot of commands missing, and some that are required for the server to work. Put the port address after the server address in the command "publicaddr". So it should look like:

Code: Select all

-publicaddr nitrosport.servegame.org:<port#here>

You also don't have have many players in each team you want, so add:

Code: Select all

-mp <#><#><#><#><#><#>

I'm not sure what order they are for the teams, but it's in the sample config. I think thats all you need for the server to be public, but you can look at my config file that has more that you would probably want to use.

[ducatiwannabe]

-mp is like this

-mp rogue, red, green, blue, purple, observer

[Matt?]

yea i kno thaT

[dango]

you can't have -set in the configuration file, that has to be in the BZW document in a 'options' section

[Winny]

remove

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


try then

No, you can have it in either a config file or a map file.

But, that isn't the point.

Matt?
Make SURE if you have a router, it forwards port 4200 (the one set in your config) to your local LAN IP address and you allow 4200 UDP/TCP through it. Also allow 4200 UDP/TCP through your firewall on your computer.

remove

it first i had it w/o that then cruel dog suggested trying that.

i got a router and i forwarded all of the ports from 4200 to 5154. my firewall on my computer was off when i tried that and when i forwarded it it used both tcp and udp

Bingo! Your server is set to serve on 4200 and it's not getting it on the local LAN as it's getting it on port 5154. Reforward it to 4200. (Internet: 4200 -> Computer: 4200)

i dont completedly understand that. here is a screene of my forwarding page. thw 192.168.1.100 is the testing computer and the .101 is the computer that the server will eventually be on. does this look right?

Replace "5154" with "4200" This will solve it.

The reason it won't work, is your config file is set to use port 4200 and it's getting all the info on port 5154. (that is where your router is sending it)

so replace 5154 on the router page with 4200 cause i is forwarding all the port's from 4200-5154 right? or odes it forward port 4200 to 5154

Yes, replace 5154 with 4200.

[Matt?]

trying that now. if this work's all we need to work on is the globla login...

[Matt?]

ok now i get another error

and forgot how to attach....

EDIT: had to edit it to attach!

[A Meteorite]

ok now i get another error

Hmmm... I'm not sure how to fix it, but we're getting closer.

Try doing this simple command:

Code: Select all

bzfs.exe -public "Matt's Test Server" -publicaddr myIPAddress

Replace myIPAddress with your IP. (whatismyip.com)

[Matt?]

ok what did you want outs that?

[Matt?]

ok well i had tropican try to connect to it and he couldnt. so i am assuming if he couldnt connect to it then it wasnt on the publiclist

[Matt?]

gunna go try it on window's xp pro. and a diff machine

[Ballard]

windows xp pro gave me nuthing

[Matt?]

oops tyler left himself logged in on my sisters machine!

[A Meteorite]

Matt?
Whoops! Your router is set to forward port 4200 and I totally forgot.

Code: Select all

bzfs.exe -public "Matt's Test Server" -p 4200 -publicaddr myIPAddress:4200

If you PM me your IP, I can try testing it.

[The Knights Who Say Ni]

i can also test it if you want and usally that error message your getting means your not connected to the internet

[RPG]

That error message means that your server isn't registering with the list server, or sending out any HTTP data. I've been getting that error in the CVS version, and was gonna say something about it, until I saw you got it too .

[Matt?]

metor try to connect to it. 12.46.85.147:4200
