It crashes. It loads the map and just crashes as soon as it shows the map has finished loading or just started loading. Anyone know how to stop this?

That error usually happens when the server can't use the ports assigned on the startup arguments.

Try opening the server folder and double click iw5m_server.exe, rather than using the shortcut to launch it.

When the console says that it loaded server.cfg, type this command:

start_map_rotate

Hopefuly, the server will start now. If it still crashes, check your router and make sure that the required ports are forwarded.

 

EDIT:

I've been trying to reproduce that issue.

Seems that sometimes the server just needs more time to load. So, remove "+start_map_rotate" from the shortcut arguments.

After the server loads the cfg, wait a bit and then start map rotation by using the command mentioned above.

Hmm, now its just frozen at: Executing server config "server.cfg"

 

Edit: when I use the command to start the map rotation, it freezes again.

Do you have dsut.exe in your folder?

yep, I do.

Bump - I downloaded the default.dspl and now it gives me this error:

Welcome to IW5M r21.

Help?

 

Edit: I got it, now I still have the crashing problem and the freezing at "Executing server config server.cfg"

Last bump.

Try to find out what might be causing the problem.

Disable your firewalls and start the server from the executable itself, rather than the shortcut.

Try renaming your server.cfg and downloading a clean one to do some testing also.

I disabled my firewall and tried to start the server from the executable, but it still froze at the executing server.cfg...

Then I deleted ALL my things for the server (including the executable) and redownloaded them from the dsut.exe and it gives me the same problem.

What are the ports I should forward? I have 27000 to 27015.

I assume you have a .dspl file in your /admin folder and your server.cfg has default.dspl somewhere, too

 

That said, please copy us both of your server.cfg and default.dspl files to ensure you're doing it right

oh, and make sure you use the CODE tags

You have TDM_default.dsr and FFA_default.dsr on admin folder, right?

 

Also, it's supposed to stop at "executing server.cfg" when you run the executable without arguments. Then you'll have to "start_map_rotate"

Yea, I have both files in the admin folder. When it says "executing server.cfg" I type in the "start_map_rotate" and it just crashes. That is my main problem, the crashing.

Ok - this is the last bump. Im trying to get this server working because I want to try a new plug-in.
