Server Ports and DIRECT IP CONNECT (more items to come)

[Prophecy]

I have just purchased the game and like most of you I needed to figure out how to host a server and what ports and so forth. So I figured it out.. Here is the information you need.


The ports?

28960-28970 All you need then it will appear in GameSpy and be open.

Direct IP?

Press your (TILDA) ` and type "connect xx.xxx.xxx.xxx" Port number is not needed for most servers.

Most commands are similar to MOHAA.

More commands to come and other items as I find them.

Thanks for the info.

Wish I was home with the game but for some mystical reason I have to work till 7 GRRRRRRRR :x

Keep the info flowing. After the weekend, I will start putting together FAQs and other resource files.

Thanks everyone

The ports are UDP btw :smile:

You may also need

20510
and
20500

both are for reporting to the master server and CD validation

I run a purely private server for a group of friends so I'm not at all interested in being published via Gamespy. For MOH all I had to port forward was 12203. Anybody know if just forwarding 28960 is sufficient for a private server?

Thanks!

Thanks Dog. I'll give it a run when I have a chance and report it. :wink:

Just didn't want to thrash around unnecessarily.

Just had a chance to get a buddy to test. Just opening 28960 works like a charm. :!:
