AC client wont connect

[TeaBagger]

Ive read everything I can find including the read me's and all and cant get my client to connect to my server that Im testing on my personal computer before I use it on my clan servers. Last night I connected to Cobra's server and it connected but still wouldnt connect on my computer. I decided to re-install my game and I cant get it 2 work again on cobras server...Can someone help me set my server up with the basics needed to get the client to connect. I can see people and send rcon messages. Any help is greatly appreciated

[TeaBagger]

Also what would be the target line that I need?

[imported_Enforcer]

Are you using version 0.9.0 ?

Did you set up your ip of the computer ServerWatch is running on rigth at AntiCheat setup ? Is the AC Server enabled ?

Is the port you set as AC Port open in the firewall ?

Good Luck

[TeaBagger]

Yes this is all set...I will post some screenies so I can make it easier for you 2 help me

[Cobra]

are you using a router ???
And what IP are you using to connect to your server....???
Internal of Xternal ip.

[Cobra]

you dont need to ad any to the target line.

[Cobra]

The reason for the Anticheat not to work anymore can be that you have another dir for your new install that SW client dont know.
Then it might add the lines for your config in the wrong config.
And then it will not connect again.

[TeaBagger]

ahhh...Cobra do you have aol,msn, or mirc that we can chat about this and maybe you can help me out quicker. If so can you please pm me. Your help is greatly appreciated. I have tried both Ip's and Im behind a router

[TeaBagger]

I only have one install directory which as it was before I re-installed...I also re-installed the ac client...I just tried 2 get the client working on your server and it works...So if Im getting the server side to scan and send messages what could be my mess up?? I've tried both Ip's and havent had luck with either but I also dont remember if I closed down the client and re-opened it before testing both. I have all the ports open and I just dont get how 2 get the client to work, I mean what does it need for it to load?? Is this not loading because the config_mp.cfg isnt loading right?? Do I make my changes and delete this file so it can re-create it?? I appreciate your time

This lower one may explain my problem, it loads the games_mp.log when I dont and cant load the ac client if I load the dedicated server first.
http://www.theaon.com/user_uploads/sw4.jpg
If I load the AC client first I get an error that games_mp.log couldn't load

Either way I still cant connect from 2 different computers in the house

Here you put you can deside yoru self.
Internal external dont matter becase you are in your own lan.
as long as the router is opend in the right port.

http://www.theaon.com/user_uploads/sw2.jpg
This one is ok like it is. NP

http://www.theaon.com/user_uploads/sw3.jpg
This here is allso good with the 24203 address
And you will use your internal if you have not open the ports in number 1 slott to put in IP in.
And then you dont have to use your other slott

Or you can use external in the first and internal on the secon on.

[Cobra]

tell me.
Do you run the server in one computer.
and you play from another one ?

Or are you doing it all in the same computer ?

becase when you say that you start the client first and you get a error about the logfile after.
I get a feeling that you are running the server and are playing from the same computer.

Becase when you start the client up it looks the dir of the game.
ANd when that is locked it cant create a new file in there.
Then you will get a error i would gues.

Please correct me if i asume wronge here.
just a feelinge i got here after what you did write.

If you have the game and the server in the same one.
they you must copy your hole cod folder and past it in some place else in your computer.
So you can use them from 2 diffrent dir.
then it should work.
But this is not a good idea if you want to run the server for plaing and not only testing.
Becase your will spend all your cpu speed in the game you play in.

To see if your lofile is getting read of the SW.
you see that your rcon is working in the rcon window.
Then you go to the window beside it that is logfile.
when you can see the logfile is writing in that window...
then you know that you read the logfile allso:
and if you play from the same game.
then it is a need to see the logfile allso.
becase the SW client used that to connect to the Serverwatch server.

well I have tried both actually..My computer with all 3 running on it...and than I tried running the server and serverside scanner on my pc and the ac client on another pc on my network and still no luck. But this is just for testing before I place it on my clan server...just curious does it look like Im doing it right but I just cant connect fo the reason you said???Should this work if I set it up on a linux server with the linux option...as long as I can see those commands and send commands Im headed In the right path right??

Thank you so much for your help

[TeaBagger]

Enforcer is the man I can't thank you enough. My Problem was that something went wrong and the anouncements were appearing on the bottom left side which is wrong and means the program isnt working right. I will try to write a read me so others can trouble shoot this
