I have set up our rented server with the new ci and code for mohoil matches. I have Reverend (not installed) match watch (installed) and match start(installed)

I have read and reread all the pdfs

I'm still confused..

If we have no mohoil official at a match on our server..
once our mohoil config is running I should start matchwatch and call team into server.. they have to connect with reverend?

if I'm play too (reverend),can I use match watch, or do I have to use match start?

I did a test the other night running mohoil config .. matchwatch said all files were ok (on server I assume).. but no one could join with reverend.

I need to find out: my players need to set ip for matchwatch to the computer running match watch? Ips for server and match will most often be different.. match watch speaks of "select RevStart" I can find this..
ARGGHHHH

Will some kind soul help get my match players going with reverend, explain how to do match watch when no mohoil officail is around.. and how matchstart figures into all this.

been doing lots of pdf reading, forum brousing .. mind is going to must.. HELP!!!

Ok .. I got some sleep.. let me clarify.. :)

I inherited the clan server position. The server had'nt been updated in quite some time. I was asked to get the server ready for our new mohoil team's 1st match. I had 2 days to do it. :x(

The server had the old MAM files..
Addonpack.cfg
MAMCIAddon.cfg
MAMDAddon.cfg
MAMMapfix.cfg
MAMSecurity.cfg
MOH_AdminMod.cfg

User-MAM_Addonpak.pk3
User-MAM_CIAddon.pk3
User-MAM_DPack.pk3
User-MAM_Security.pk3
User-MAMMapfix.pk3
Zzzzzzz_MOH_Adminmod.pk3

and the old code security and dogmeat mapfix pk3.

I D/L'ed the new CI and code security and deleted all the old above mentioned MAM files following the instructions with the "MAM for Counter Intelligence" help HTM file.
I uploaded the CI and Code security to the server. The Help file says "Start CI and go to the options menu, MAM files and run a check on them. If they verify, you are ready to go." Hmmmm this i dont understand.
I made sure all our mohoil team had D/L'ed and installed Reverend so the could compete.
As the server admin, I D/L'ed Matchwatch, Reverend, and MatchStart onto my own computer. I dont plan on installing Reverend to play untill I get the whole team squared away. I installed MatchWatch and MatchStart on my computer.
I went through the Server files and rewrote all the .cfgs... eliminating references to old security and updated them for the new requirements of Mohoil.com ladder competition. I also wrote a Mohoil match config.
I tested all these configs and they work fine.
So..the day of the match I exec'ed the mohoilmatch.cfg. I asked our team Captain who the Mohoil ref was. He said that he didnt think one was comming. I then started Matchwatch on my computer. It checked the files on the server and said they were ok. I then told the team to start there Reverend and join our server. None could join. As it turned out, the other team didnt show up... I got lucky. :hug:
My understanding is that either team captain or a mohoil ref can use Matchwatch on their own computer to run the match on our server.
I believe now the reasons why my team couldnt join the server where...1 I forgot to "require rev" in the matchwatch preset up screen and 2 I didnt supply my home computer IP (matchwatch running on my home computer)for them to input into their Reverend launch. :(
In the section of prematch matchwatch, there is a section to input email addresses of the team Captains.. its greyed out and I cant put any info there. :x(
The Help file "MAM for Counter Intelligence", says "Start CI and go to the options menu, MAM files and run a check on them. If they verify, you are ready to go." I dont understand :x(

the help file "MatchWatch for MOHAA & SpearHead" says:
" With Reverend:When using Reverend you will have to run MW a little different. First, instead of waiting for everyone to get on the server, no one can come on until MW is started. You will want start MW 15 minutes prior to the match. (Select StartRev) It will check players in and perform player information dumps." I found no option to "start rev". this is because I forgot to require reverend in the pre-setup?? Arghhh

what about setuphonestyAA32????

What am I doing wrong? I had to assimulate alot of info in a short period of time. Everyone was a server admin noob at 1 time...

HELP :D :D :D :D

Matchwatch needs to be on secondary computer(not server).The Matchwatch computer has to have all the blanks filled in(ip and emails).You want to require reverend.Next time dont wait till the day of the match to test something new.These programs require a little testing.If the Matchwatch computer is behind a router you will need to forward ports.Also some players will have problems with files and such.Testing Testing Testing.lol
