Noob Server Setup Walkthrough

[Conflict]

Ok..i am new to the concept of runnign my own server, but after months of playing MOHAA and now COD I have decided that instead of complaining about the horrible abuse some players use with others I am gonna run my own server for those of us who just want a good game without all the extra crap!


So..i started my journey.....

I found a cool script maker....figured out the whole cfg file setup and stuff. It says the server is running and everything.

Heres where I am confused. When i start the game it shows my server when i check for local servers..but it isn;t on the main list.

Also when i start Gamespy or ASE I do not find my server

Did I miss something? How do i get my server noticed so people can join it?

Someone help me!!!

I can be reached by reply to this....or on AIM: ConflictsDaily or by ICQ: 136746339

Thank you very much

A few things you can try -

Assuming your game is legit (no cracks) and you can connect to the server by typing in the IP. /connect 666.666.66.66:28960

make sure this is in your server.cfg

//Heartbeat===================
seta sv_master1 "master0.gamespy.com"
seta sv_master2 "codmaster.activision.com"
seta sv_gamespy "1"

Then check the console and ensure that your server is resolving to both addresses.

Make sure you have your host name set properly
seta sv_hostname "WooWee" (quotes should be there)

Assuming that all of this is done and your ports are configured properly, aside from any firewall issues - it should show in GameSpy and the master server.

this is how it looks right now, as far as i can tell it is fine....still not showing on either Gamespy or ASE
What does Hitch Warning mean?

Could you please post your console output so I can view it.

I need the whole string not just a section of it.
