BF2 VOIP

[Brandon]

I setup BF2-VOIP as a secondary application. BF2-VOIP will only use the primary IP of a machine. So I ticked the "Only use Primary IP" however when added as a secondary application on an account it uses the same IP as the game server IP.

 

 

 

Any way to make this use the Primary IP of the machine?

[ECF]

I will have to play around with it to see what I can find out.

[ECF]

Now that I think of it. BF2 VOIP is better setup as a voice server and not a game server or secondary app.

 

 

[Brandon]

Well I figured since this option was available we might as well utilize it.. The BF2 VOIP executable is in the users game folder. I currently have it setup as a standalone VOIP server. However it would be nice to do it just as HLTV is done as a secondary app.

[ECF]

Completely understand. I will take it up with Luis to see what needs to be changed to achive it.

Just to double check Brandon. When you created the secondary app config under BF2, did you perhaps use the secondary serverip variable by mistake, instead of using the standard serverip variable?

 

 

 

Standard one would be %serverip%

 

 

 

Secondary one would be %primary_serverip%

[Brandon]

The only place I see to set the IP is.

 

 

 

Supported Games > BF2-VOIP

 

 

 

IP and Port Settings

 

Only Use Server's Primary IP

 

 

 

BF2 VOIP automatically binds to the primary IP and doesn't allow you to set the IP anywhere in its settings.

 

 

 

When I goto create it as a secondary app there is no IP settings available there. So when created it automatically sets to the same IP as the primary service.

 

 

 

BF2 VOIP.txt

sv.voipServerRemote 0

 

sv.voipServerRemoteIP ""

 

sv.voipServerPort 55125

 

 

 

 

[Brandon]

Yes.

 

 

 

<table border="0" align="center" width="90%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td class="SmallText">Quote:</td></tr><tr><td class="quote">

sv.voipServerRemoteIP ""

</td></tr></table>

 

 

 

That is the setting for the BF2 server to connect to the VOIP server. The VOIP server will only run on the Primary IP. That is why when the VOIP server is created as a secondary application it needs to follow the "Only use Primary IP" rule in the game configuration page.

 

 

 

Otherwise players with firewalls won't be able to communicate inside the game server.

Here is an example of VOIP settings for 3 bf2 servers on the same machine.

I havent played with it yet, but I would assume that the bf2voip app would automatically bind itself to the default IP address automatically?

 

 

[ECF]

I don't see anything in your config that would ask TCAdmin to point it to the gameserver IP.

 

 

 

Have you tried unchecking the "Use Default IP" in the app config to see if that would effect it?

[Brandon]

BF2 VOIP application itself automatically binds to the primary IP.

 

 

 

The problem is that when the information is emailed to the customer it tells them the same IP as the game server which is incorrect.

 

 

 

In order to run multiple VOIP's successfully on the same machine. The BF2 server must be set as I described above. Each one has to be set as a Remote Server even though it is on the same machine.

 

 

 

So when the customer receives the information they need to know what IP to set the sv.voipServerRemoteIP setting to. Which should be the primary IP. But currently it will only use the same IP as the primary application.

Same thing occurs - IP is set the same as the primary application.

[ECF]

A fix will be availible for this tonight. I will contact you so you can test it.

- Secondary apps will use the ip settings configured in the game settings instead of using the primary ip.

</td></tr></table>

 

 

 

This is strange. Am I reading it incorrectly - it seems to say exactly the same thing as what it did before.

 

 

 

When I goto intall BF2 VOIP as a secondary app. It uses the IP from the primary application settings <u>still</u>.

 

 

 

Admin Home > System Settings > Supported Games > BF2 VOIP Details

 

 

 

 

 

 

So it should do two things.

 

 

 

1. If checked the secondary application should use this rule that is set in it's own game settings.

 

2. If it is unchecked then it should by default use the primary application settings like it currently does.

 

 

 

I think the image above explains better than all my previous posts.

 

 

 

Edit: I am assuming the "Only Use Server's Primary IP" is referring to the Primary IP of the Machine not the Primary Application IP.

Run the same update again. I had only made the change when the secondary app was not optional.

[Brandon]

I must be doing something wrong then. Here is my BF2 VOIP settings setup as a secondary application under my BF2 Game Server settings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is still using the Primary Application IP. I can provide my two configs if you need as well.

 

 

 

Anything I need to change from what I have now?

[LFA]

Sorry about that I didn't upload the new files. Install it again. I just tested it and it worked for me.

[Brandon]

Fixed! This case is closed. Thank you!
