etded argument list?

(/dev/null) #1

Hi there,

I’m looking for a list of argments I can pass on to etded executable. I tried googling for 'm, but it gave no usefull links. Also the local rtfm-files which come with the game don’t seem to contain a list.
Would anyone know where I could find any of that?

Cause you see, here’s my problem:
on my server, Debian with ipmasq, 2 interfaces are active: one with 192. for my lan (eth0) and one pointing to my provider (eth1).

For some reason I am unable to start etded to point to my external ip/interface, which is quite annoying :confused:
the ip I receive from my provider is a dhcp address (which doesn’t change a lot, since my server has a long uptime) which I tried using with ./etded +set net_ip <external ip> but even then the server console shows me that it’s using local ip address to broadcast.

I also tried whether +set net_interface eth1 would work, but even then it points to my 192. address.

Could anyone help me with this? It’s not like I wanna host a big time server, I just wanna host it so I can play 1on1’s for training and such.

thanks a lot in advance,

/dev/null

The arguments are +command where /command is anything you could type in the console. There is nothing special about the command line other then some variables can be set there that are readonly in the game once it loads.
Maybe you want +set net_ip to force it to listen on a particular IP tho.

But that’s one of my problems: I tried setting “+set net_ip <external ip>” , but it still launches using my lan-ip for some bizarre reason.

So basicly, there’s no way to parse an argument to etded to use an interface instead of net_ip? pouts

tnx anyway

./etded +set net_ip ip +set net_port port +set dedicated 2 +exec server

Ah, now I get a good result on “netstat -na | grep 27961”
udp 480 0 213.xxx.xxx.xxx:27961 0.0.0.0:*

(I didn’t use that “+set dedicated 2” although it would seem weird that was preventing etded to broadcast on my provider-ip.

Thanks for all the help!
