xpservers Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Im hoping someone can help out. Ive run out of ideas and frontlines forum is not helping either. I rented out my first frontlines server and the user is complaining they cannot see the server in the server browser in game. The ping shows xxx however you CAN connect to the server via IP address. I have removed the firewall so all ports are open. netstat -a displays ports are listening properly. Also when the user tries to connect with server remote it says ...no connection could be made cause the target machine openly refused it 67.213.79.51:14507 Some of my configs: [Configuration] BasedOn=..\Engine\Config\BaseGame.ini [Engine.GameInfo] DefaultGame=GCGame.GCDefaultGame DefaultServerGame=GCGame.GCDefaultGame MaxPlayers=26 ArbitrationHandshakeTimeout=10.000000 InactivePRINum=16 InactivePRILifeSpan=300 [GCBaseGame.GCBGame] ;time between rounds before resetting level ResetTimeDelay=20 ;time between maps rotate in on a dedicated server RestartWait=30 bGameRulesDictateEjectRules=False [Engine.AccessControl] AdminPassword=Blitzer ;GamePassword=game [Engine.RemoteConsole] ;Admin username AdminName=admin ;Admin Password (blank for disable remote console) AdminPassword= ;ListenPort 14507 is default ListenPort=14507 ;ListenBindIP 0.0.0.0 is default ListenBindIP=67.213.79.51 ;MaxClients that can connect via remote console at the same time MaxClients=7 ;Time in seconds after initial connection to wait for username/password response LoginTimeout=7 ;Prevent an individual IP address from taking up all remote console slots MaxConnectionsPerIP=2 Generated Command Line: C:\UserFiles\chris\GameServers\TC35474000873010220854031\Binaries\FFOW-Dedicated-Logging.exe server FL-Roundabout -online -unattended -seekfreeloading -ServerPerfStats matchmakingport=9103 CustomPublicIP=67.213.79.51 MultiHome=67.213.79.51 Port=5476 QueryPort=5478 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonF Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 This is worthless right here: Port=5476 QueryPort=5478 Remove it and try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonF Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I had to remove the matchmakingport on one server to get it to work properly. Remove that from the command line and try again. Also make sure you configured the GCGame/Config/DefaultGame.ini properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIS-MOTHER Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 It is because the line PingRedirectIP=%primaryip% is not binding it to primary IP do a manual command line overide and you will see it shows a ping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpservers Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Primary IP of my box ? or primary IP of the FFOW server which would be %serverip% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpservers Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 hey guys thanks for all ure help but im still having problems and dont know what else to troubleshoot. Im using the config provided in the config section of the forums and it says unranked, could this be why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonF Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 This is what your command line should look like: FFOW-Dedicated-Logging.exe server FL-Roundabout -online -unattended -seekfreeloading -ServerPerfStats matchmakingport=9103 CustomPublicIP=67.213.68.10 MultiHome=67.213.68.10 Also set it to unranked This game is a P.O.S.

HIS-MOTHER Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 CustomPublicIP=67.213.68.10 MultiHome=67.213.68.10 If these two IP's are not your primary then the server will show xxx ping in the lobby and return unreachable when trying to enter it. CustomPingIP needs to be set. I tested it last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpservers Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Custom Ping Ip being my primary box ip right ? my primary box ip is 67.213.68.2 So would this be correct: FFOW-Dedicated-Logging.exe server FL-Roundabout -online -unattended -seekfreeloading -ServerPerfStats matchmakingport=9103 CustomPingIP=67.213.68.2 CustomPublicIP=67.213.68.10 MultiHome=67.213.68.10 Port=5476 QueryPort=5478 PingRedirectIP=67.213.68.2 I also ran the FFOW_QueryProtocolTest.bat in the tools folder and got this output. Not sure if this is of any importance.

HIS-MOTHER Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 It looks correct to me if your last Octet is .2 for Primary. Does it go to lobby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonF Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 When I was testing this game I was getting the xxx ping and weird stuff until I removed PingRedirectIP= Not sure if it will help you but it solved my issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpservers Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Well i FINALLY figured it out. Something really stupid and I feel like an ass lol. It was more than one thing I think. When my user submitted a ticket I tried with some test servers and it still didnt work thinking an issue with a TCADMIn config or global config. After adding pingredirect I only tested the users server and not my test servers. If i would of tested my test servers I would of noticed that this was the initial issue which resolved the problem Anyway it still didnt work for my user so i looked into the .ini file and noticed this user put servername==TRB= You cant have 2 equal signs in a row lol changed it to servername= =TRB= and it worked Thanks again guys !!
