Advanced server question

(Macuiare) #1

Im hosting 2 servers at the moment open TCP/UDP ports on 27950 for one server and 27960 for the other, now i would like to add another four srevers, 27930,27940,27970,27980.

I opened ports on for 27940 routing to 192.168.200.244. set the gateway, dns and ip right then opened up the server adding the command line to which changes Ip/ports, I dont run a map cycle in the server cfg so i can test if the ports are opening, which they were. afer that i execed the objectivecycle. and told my friend to connect. no luck is there any thing i missed out (note im not port forwarding anything if i have to could you tell me what ports?)

Thanks

well, to be able to start hosting games i had to buy a ‘outside ip’. try adding your local pc ip to DMZ zone.

The Quake3 engine(also ET) in general uses a range of ports starting from 27960(as default). If you want to host more than one server you should use ports like 27960, 27961, 27962.
Also make sure your server is started using an extra parameter; “+set net_port 27960” or “+set net_port 27961”.
If you change the port after the server is started, then that cvar will be latched, and will not be changed.

As for the Portforward thing, use ‘27960’ as external/internal port start and ‘27970’ as external/internal port end, using the tcp/udp protocol. This contradicts the original guide, but I’m pretty sure this will work.

Start the server and use http://www.canyouseeme.org/ to see if it can be seen from the outside.
