TrackMania Nations Forever

[dimitrifrom31]

Hi again,

 

 

Ive been trying for 2 days running a TMNF server but it still doesnt work.

 

I downloaded the server files from there :

 

TrackmaniaServer_2008-12-05.zip (Nadeo)

 

and I made the attached config file.

 

Of course in my dedicated_cfg I added my trackmania login and password and the 3 last characters of my TM key.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

Di you use this forum and follow the direction here?

[dimitrifrom31]

I did but there been some changes, i got latest server files so i also had to follow some instructions given on tm forums. Still couldnt get it work

[Jaggl]

what are the error messages?

[jointopz]

Its working for me.

 

Be sure to use a seperate Trackmania account for the server. I dont think you can use the same accoutn you play with, because then you cant connect.

[Jaggl]

u have to create an account for each server!

[dimitrifrom31]

I created an account for server and another for me but somehow impossible to join the server...

 

Does some1 got a proper cfg file working with latest version of TMN? So i can compare.

 

Thx

[D3vil]

look at the server log to identify the problem , anyway for me if i create a user like "user" it don't work , try use caps lock and create a user like this "USER"something wrong in path

sorry for my bad english

[dimitrifrom31]

Well I finally found out why it didnt work.

Shame on me I installed Tcadmin on a new machine and I totally forgot to install latest directX drivers. I realized this had to be this when I couldnt make cod4 work either.

 

Sry for the useless thread I ll hang myself now

u have to create an account for each server!

 

btw this is really annoying for autosetup...

 

Means TM servers must be created manually... argh

[Jaggl]

nope. u can use "Game Keys" :=)

[KingJ]

Any tips on automating this?

 

Reading around for Nations, you don't need to enter the key. However, you will need a unique username and password for each one - how can I go about the automation of the creation of a username and password account?

[Jaggl]

use the future "Game Keys"

[KingJ]

use the future "Game Keys"

 

So create lots of accounts with the same password and add them as game keys?

[Jaggl]

we have done it this way yes, but u dont need the same password

[KingJ]

we have done it this way yes, but u dont need the same password

 

Would be nice if you have a little more detail

[Jaggl]

just put the password line also into the gamekeys, it dont have to be 2 lines, it can be all one line

[Jaggl]

<login>LOGIN HERE</login><validation_key>KEY HERE</validation_key>

i have created a TMN server for somebody and i have entered the server and i can get in it. But the client has contacted me that he cannot find the server in the list. i have checked the list and i couldn find it, i join the server with my TMU account so i have no problem at all

[dimitrifrom31]

each server is linked to a key. If your key is for Exemple From France, Paris then you will find your server in France, Ile de france.

 

Your customer can change the key to make server show up in another region.

 

Hope that helped.

[silverstarke]

thanks for your reply. i think that is not really the problem. i can join the server with the command but not with a list. it is a TMN server but i join server with TMU account. i have no idea how to fix at this moment

tell me in what country/province is your server supposed to be and its name so I will check too. Else I dont see why it wouldnt show in server list, did you try to disable firewall to see if it makes any difference?

 

post ur server config too so i can have a look

[GS-Liam]

When you created the servers account what location did you set it in? are the ports all open? it takes about 0-5 minutes from loading the server for it to show on the master server list

[silverstarke]

hello guys,

 

sorry for the delay, i have taken some time to check the tmn server.

i have started from scratch downloaded the serverfiles again and imported the tcadmin config and guess what, it worked immediately. great heh =)

 

so anyway thanks for the suggestions

doh! TMN is following me days after days loool. I have to install xaseco. But when i did, they cannot reboot the .bat file to restart after they have settings. they can change settings with ftp for xaseco. But they need to restart the .bat file. Is it difficult to get that in tcadmin? i haven't used secondary applications yet. I cannot find a configurationfile for it.

(ps does somebody knows how much traffic on 20 slot server monthly, that game keeps running races as i can see in console :s)
