Wolfenstein: ET Master Server Back In Action


(acQu) #41

For those who once installed Rudis proxy service and at some point deinstalled it again, you might wonder why your masterlist is not working :wink:

Here a short explanation what you must do to make your list work again:

Simply open up your hosts file (open Notepad as Administrator, type ‘%WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc’ into the address bar, change the file type to ‘All Files’ and open the file named ‘hosts’) and delete the line:

etmaster.idsoftware.com 127.0.0.1

Yes yes yes! ET master working fine. Good work, whoever was involved.

No reply from wolfmaster.idsoftware.com for RtCW though.

My server is not on the master list… what do I need to make sure is in the config for it to show up?


(cheesy) #46

Try it with your firewall turned off if a homegrown server. Also make sure you are checking the right list 2.55/2.60b?

[QUOTE=Rudi;396457]If id software’s master server is online, it will use that, if not, it will use etmaster.net.
if one goes down, it will switch to the other.[/QUOTE]

…are there no differents ?

Thanks all who works on it.


(Rudi) #48

Yes in theory, but some people may not have updated their servers. It defaults to id software because, in theory, that should be more stable :wink:


(hunterthebest) #49

Thank you very much. Still it was too long offline…

See you.!

Thanks again, now the case of “Masterserverlist” can be closed and we can enjoy the Gameplay again :smiley:


(avery) #51

My server is through Game Servers. I just need to know what needs to be put in my config file.


(zbzero) #52

@Avery i have 4 servers running and 2 of these servers not are showing in the list too i think its not related to the server config. i know my server config is right but i really dont know why the hell its not showing up in the master list
if im not wrong the server config only need is have this line - sv_master1 “etmaster.idsoftware.com” - to shows into the master server list


(Mateos) #53

Well noticed sometimes some servers appears sometimes not. Maybe the client does not receive all the data requested to master server? There could be some loss like packets?


(cheesy) #54

Avery I am curious, is this on 2.60b list? I have 3 servers on the 2.55 list and they have been working 24/7 since the list came back.

Did you click on “server name” and put them in alphabetic order, then search? I once had a problem where changes in networking at gamesevers.com bumped my server down from its typical spot on the list.

Simply open up your hosts file (open Notepad as Administrator, type ‘%WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc’ into the address bar, change the file type to ‘All Files’ and open the file named ‘hosts’) and delete the line:
Code:
etmaster.idsoftware.com 127.0.0.1

Where is the host file ? Which folder ?


(Rudi) #56

open Notepad as Administrator, type ‘%WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc’ into the address bar, change the file type to ‘All Files’ and open the file named ‘hosts’

But as I’ve already stated, there is no need at all to remove this software.

Is it this one ? => 109.70.149.12:27930 Can’t find this one either.

In the config you must add this:

set sv_master1 "etmaster.idsoftware.com"

Make sure, when you start up your server, you check where it is sending the heartbeat. Check for a message like:

Sending heartbeat to

in serverlog. It will show you where it is sending the heartbeat to.
