Private Servers

[PayableOnDeath]

Hi

 

I seem to be having problems with making private servers, i set the panel to so its a private server when i make one, and the server comes up as private but the panel keeps thinking that its changed from private to public and will shut of the server(if i enable it to disable them)

 

the server is private as in you cant get in the server with out a password, but TCAdmin thinks its public, i have checked everything i think off but still cant seem to get it to pick up its private

 

anyone any ideas?

 

 

Thanks

What game are you working with?

[PayableOnDeath]

Must be something in the settings. We have had no other reports of anything like this.

 

I will hazard a guess that you have branding turned on and the hostname doesn't contain the branding text and the panel is turning it off.

Its not branding as we havnt set that up, also the email says private to public, hense why i said private servers

 

copy of email with ip/port, names change

 

The Medal of Honor - Allied Assault server at #IP:#PORT has been modified.

Owner Id: #OWNER

Owner Name: #NAME

Hostname: #HOSTNAME

Paid slots: 30

Configured slots: 30

Reason: Game server has been changed from private to public.

 

Happeneds on our test servers that havnt been changed since it was setup

 

 

Thanks

Whats the command in the cfg file that you are using to set it as private?

[PayableOnDeath]

using the standard one that came with it as far as i know

 

(mohaa for example)

but i am 90% sure its not g_password as i never had a private server work with g_password, i tested a server and proved it was set password "pasword" if a private password was set (see here http://www.fpsadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=46378#post46378)

 

i have added all the ones that seem to float about

 

set password "test

set g_password "test"

set sv_password "test"

 

all in the one config on the server and restarted it but it still says its been changed from private to public

went i try to get on the server is says it private(password required)

 

i could understand it if it was the 1 game but not everyone i tried

[ECF]

seta sv_privatepassword ""

 

 

Keep in mind that the template included in the default install are just that, templates. You may still need to tweak them to what you need.

[PayableOnDeath]

they have sv_privatepassword set

 

like i said the server is private you cant get on it with out a password, only seems to be TCAdmin thats picking it up as public

[ECF]

If TCAdmin is picking it up as public then that is what the query is returning from the server.

 

What is the IP address of one of your servers that you have a password on?

[PayableOnDeath]

heres a server i have been testing with

 

87.117.227.83:12205

 

HLSW shows as private, also cant enter the server with a password

Create a support ticket with the link and login to your control panel so I can have a look.

sets g_needpass 1 = Private

sets g_needpass 0 = Public

 

Need to add that to your config.
