AA Game browser list...

[Variable]

Guys have any clue how to get the AA Game appear in the Browser list? I think I may be missing something and not sure what.

[ntburchf]

ports 20025 - 20045

need to be opened

If it shows up here

http://www.aa-mbs.com/

 

it should be in the in game browser.

and which part of the browser (the gamespy or the aao)

[swish]

If you install the game server preserving your INI file settings, you will be missing a needed entry to access the new AA Browser Master Server. Please be sure the following lines exist in your server INI file:

 

[Engine.GameEngine]

ServerActors=Andromeda.AndromedaMBS

 

This will insure proper AA Browser updates of servers and players.

 

Once these settings have been added, restart your game server.

 

If you still exhibit problems, be sure that TCP port 20047 is open in your firewall so that the game server can communicate with the AA Browser Master Server.

Cool. It works! However, I have no idea why, some players can not join the server. Also, it shows in the AA Browser that my Punkbuster is disabled. Tried looking for it but unsucessful.

I know you got it fixed but if anyone else has PB issues...login to game as admin and type:

 

admin pv_sv_enable

 

(make sure PB is updated to currrent version)

Easier way to do this--

in your game install dir-

c:\game_installs\aa

(or whatever location you are installing the game from)

 

in the aa/System/pb dir

just create 2 files

one called pbsvgame.cfg

sv_punkbuster 1

that tells that game to start PB - so what happens is, you install the game to some user_dir and by default PB is enabled.

the other file

pbsv.cfg

Game is created with PB running + whatever you want for pb defaults.

can even have it setup all the screenshot stuff, the pb_webtool stuff etc etc etc..

Thanks! One thing... Everytime I create a server I'd always have to make sure that login name is in there and password, etc to have GameSpy or AAMBS detect the server. How do make that already setup? That way customers don't have to figure things out.

[ntburchf]

what logon name-

where do you mean?

 

gamespy nor aambs require a password/username

Just confused by your question
