cannot connect repeater to main server

I can see the server Im trying to connect to, but the repeater cannot connect? Any help would be great!

Thanks in advance,
Ruma

The repeater needs to connect to the repeater on the main server, not the main server itself.

On the match server you have to have:
net_spawnRepeater “1”
ri_maxViewers “5” // anything >0 is ok, means how many tv servers can connect
g_repeaterPassword “secret”
net_repeaterport “27777” // some GSP may block ports with firewall

On repeater you have to have:
net_clientRepeaterDelay “1.5” // stream delay, timeshift from match server - antispoiler, you may want to set it to “0” for realtime
ri_maxViewers “30” // number of TV slots for viewers, values >40 caused instabilities, set it to <40

Now start both match server and repeater (TV) server. Connect to console of repeater and type:
connect 111.222.333.444:27777; password “secret”

Match server should respond with its ri_name and your repeater should connect to it and start loading map. Then you have to wait for “net_clientRepeaterDelay” minutes until TV buffers stream, then it auths to master and you should be able to see it in TV servers list from master server.

If it returns sending challenge repeatedly, then it means repeaterport is not spawned on match server, you specified wrong repeater port or it may be blocked by some sort of firewall.
If it returns match servers ri_ name repeatedly, then it means you specified wrong password for repeater.

@Ruma, please let us know as soon as you get that server running. Can’t wait. :stroggbanana:
