Default SERVER NOT ACCESSIBLE - 06-07-2003, 12:21 PM



Got a problem when i try to host a game. I'm the
only player thats in the server. Can't find my server name in gamespy or
All seeing eye. I don't think anyone can see my server so they don't
join the game. This worked at 1 time, but i had to uninstall and reinstall
MOHAA & SH. Am i missing a patch? Can anybody help me with this problem?

If u are connecting through a router, that could be the problem as you cannot host unless do configure you router (open ports, etc.)

Make sure this line is in your server.cfg file:

[code:f3a3f]// Gamespy
// 1 = shown in Gamespy, 0 = not shown in Gamespy
set sv_gamespy 1[/code:f3a3f]

Default SERVER NOT ACCESSIBLE - 07-01-2003, 10:16 AM

Thank you Bashmaster & Bane.

1. I do not have a router

2. Where should my server.cfg be located? Path plz.
I did a search and found a server.cfg, but the information populated is
not what i have populated, like maybe it didn't update, or maybe its not in
the right folder. I have not altered anything. I did my configuring via the
select a game type window in MOHAA multiplayer room. Is there anything
else i can check? Patches?

Bane,
The lines you spoke of are in this particular server.cfg file. Please excuse my
inexperience. You assistance is needed and appreciated.

You're welcome. Don't worry about being inexperienced in this area... so am I!!

I'm assuming you're not running a dedicated server (meaning you're playing on the same PC that is acting as the server). A dedicated server is just that: a server only. All clients connect to a dedicated server from a separate PC.

My only experience is in dedicated servers, but let me see...

If you're playing Allied Assault the server.cfg should be located in the games main folder. If you're playing Spearhead it should be located in the mainta folder instead.

Here's an example server.cfg:
[code:79a9d]// Server Name
// Name that will appear on the server browser
sv_hostname "Nameless Battle"

// Game Type
// 1 Free for All
// 2 Team Based
// 3 Round Based
// 4 Objective
// 5 Tug Of War
set g_gametype 1

// Health Drop
// When enabled players will drop a health pack when killed
set g_healthdrop 1

// Realism
// Toggles realistic mode
set g_realismmode 0

// Fast Run Speed
// When checked, the speed at which players can run through levels is increased.
// Leaving it unchecked defaults to Medal of Honor Allied Assault's original run speed
set sv_dmspeedmult 1.100000

// Team Damage
// Toggles friendly fire
set g_teamdamage 0

// Heal Rate
// Determines how fast players heal when they use a health pickup
set g_healrate 10

// Max Players
set sv_maxclients 16

// Time Limit
// This sets the elapsed time at which the game ends, the winner being the player with the highest score at that time.
timelimit 0

// Frag Limit
// The score at which the player or team will win the current map.
fraglimit 0

// Map Rotation Time
// This sets the maximum amount of time in minutes players will spend in a particular map.
maprotationtime 0

// Team Spawn Delay
// This sets a delay in seconds between spawns. This is useful if you would like the
// player spawned in batches, rather than one at a time
set sv_team_spawn_interval 15

// Round Reset Time
// This sets how long each round will take, in minutes. This can be smaller than the map rotation time, but not larger.
roundlimit 0

// Inactive Spectate
// This sets the time in seconds after which an inactive player becomes a spectator. To save server bandwidth, 60 seconds is default.
set g_inactivespectate 60

// Inactive Kick
// This sets the time in seconds after which an inactive player is kicked out of the game. 900 (15 minutes) seconds is default.
set g_inactivekick 900

// Use Gamespy
// To use GameSpy gaming service for internet-based multiplayer games.
set sv_gamespy 1

// Pure
// Verifies that the files on the client are the same as those on the server.
set sv_pure 0

// Allow Vote
// Enables players to call a vote.
set g_allowvote 1

// Flood Protect
// Limits amount of text a player can type
set sv_floodprotect 1

// Force Team Spectate
set g_forceteamspectate 1


set dmflags 0

set g_forceready 0

set g_forcespawn 0

// Invulnerable Time
// Amount of time a player is invulnerable for after spawning
set sv_invulnerabletime 3

// Team Kill Warning
// Amount of team kills before the player is warned
set g_teamkillwarn 3

// Team Kill Kick
// Amount of team kills before the player is kicked off the server.
set g_teamkillkick 5

// Team Switch Delay
// Frequency at which you can switch teams
set g_teamswitchdelay 15

// Gravity
set g_gravity 512.000000

// Allow Join Time
set g_allowjointime 30

// Private Clients
// Clients that require a password to join
set sv_privateclients 0

// Password
// Allows you to set a password for the server
set sv_privatepassword ""

// Keywords
// Keywords which allow browsers to filter servers.
set sv_keywords ""

// Net Port
set net_port 12203

// Minimum Ping
set sv_minping 0

// Maximum Ping
set sv_maxping 0

// Maximum Rate
set sv_maxrate 0

// Map
// Starting map on the rotation.
map "dm/mp_malta_dm"

// Map Rotation List
sv_maplist "dm/mp_malta_dm obj/mp_druckkammern_tow"[/code:79a9d]

A lot of these variables can be changed to suit your individual needs. I didn't see anything else related to Gamespy except the lines I gave earlier. Does your server have a name? Maybe you need to add the first variable in the sample to your config.

Also, I'm not certain whether or not you will see your server in Gamespy if you're looking in Gamespy from the server itself. Make sense? Have you tried looking for your server from another computer?

I'm really not the best source of info on this. I wish I could give you a concrete answer... There are a couple of sites that could help you out: First and foremost is [url:79a9d]http://www.mohadmin.com/nuke/[/url:79a9d]. It's Rudedog's site and can answer probably every question you could think up. Another is [url:79a9d]http://www.allaboutnothing.net/[/url:79a9d] (shameless plug lol). In all seriousness there are people on either site with far more knowledge than I.

I hope this helped - if just a little. Good luck Captain.
