Variable Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I am hosting a lan server for a custom mapping site but it wont stay up. seems to shut down after all players disconnect. runs fine while players are in it but shuts down when empty. I have gone over the ini file and everything is setup right so I would appreciate any thought s on how to keep this server up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swish Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Are you using the LAN instead of global in the command line? AA LAN mode auto resets the port to i belive 7771 or close tothat. Are you checking to see if its running in TCAdmin or elsewhere? TCAdmin wont pick up if its running a custom map (atleast it doesnt for me) and it says "server offline" but you could still go join it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Variable Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 yes it is set to Lan in the command line. and i realize the the server admin wont show it as running. when i first go into gaming services it shows as stopped and i cant join it so that tells me that it keeps shutting down.

swish Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 try running it in global. Just make a cusotm command line with the map name. Theres really no need to run it in LAN anymore since 2.8+ with the user created maps. You will jsut have to add it into the tours.ini. NOTE** it will be "Unauthorized" status but you still play it.

TAZ73 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 ok, but is ther ea way to make that custom command line only available to one server instance? i dont want it to be an option for everyone who has a server thru us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Open the service settings for that server and change the commandline for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZ73 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 ok none of that helps. it keeps shutting down. if i go in and start the server from the runserver.bat (bypassing the panel) it runs just fine. but when starting it with the panel it will not stay up on a custom map. what i was wondering is can i point to the runserver.bat in the command line and still have it run properly. and when it gets restarted will that work properly without causing problems.

ECF Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 You can point to the bat file instead of an exe file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swish Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Worst case, just do a complete reinstall of that server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZ73 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 ok bat file doesnt work. it starts the server but you can't join it. we got this configuration to work flawlessly by manually starting the runserver.bat. but when trying to run a server using custom maps thru the TCAdmin panel it will not stay running. its good for about 5-10 minutes and then just shuts down. so i have narrowed it down to an Admin panel problem and not a problem within the server configuration. If anyone knows a way to get server up in LAN mode thru the panel it would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deca Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I've also been working with Variable and TAZ73 on this issue and no combination or iteration of commands or exclusions of commands seems to work with AA and LAN mode. If someone wants to post a working setup it would be appreciated. As it stands now I can verify that this instance of TCADMIN will not run an AA server in LAN mode (and stay active for more than 9 minutes regardless of map being official or not. Also, there are reasons for running servers in LAN mode vs GLOBAL mode other than for bypassing auth purposes......so running in GLOBAL is not an alternative in this instance.

ntburchf Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 ok bat file doesnt work. it starts the server but you can't join it. we got this configuration to work flawlessly by manually starting the runserver.bat. but when trying to run a server using custom maps thru the TCAdmin panel it will not stay running. its good for about 5-10 minutes and then just shuts down. so i have narrowed it down to an Admin panel problem and not a problem within the server configuration. If anyone knows a way to get server up in LAN mode thru the panel it would be greatly appreciated. reason it shuts down is that TCadmin polls it about at the 5-10 min mark, shuts and down and tries to restart it.-, because it looks for the game to be on port 1717 and when in lan mode it's on port 7778... then it becomes a never ending loop if not carefull..

TAZ73 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 so if i go into the settings in the TCAdmin and change the query port from 1717 to 7778 will that fix the problem? And swish i got the email but the was no file attached to it. Can you resend it. or try sending it to taz73_ha2msn.com or both. thanks for the help.
