Besides opening the ports on teh firewalls, you have to FORWARD them on the router.

i did! my friends still cant join my server!

I can only tell you what you need to do. I can't open and forward the ports for you.

If your friends can't join, either you didn't forward the ports on the router, or you didn't allow it on some firewall.

It can also happen that you have some router like Thomson TG series, in wich you just cannot allow stuff through it's firewall due to it's bugged firmware.

PROBLEM: What ports do I forward?

 

Alright, I need to know the ports. I know there are four of them but what's the opening, ending ports and the protocols.

 

1

OPENING:

ENDING:

UDP/TCP:

LAN IP Address:

2

OPENING:

ENDING:

UDP/TCP:

LAN IP Address:

3

OPENING:

ENDING:

UDP/TCP:

LAN IP Address:

4

ENDING:

UDP/TCP:

LAN IP Address:

 

Then with these ports, which ones do I enter into server.cfg and server shortcut?

THNX

Nope, where is game_mp and games_mp i do it all right, but commands is not working.

Maybe i need to write somewhere my game nick to use !iamgod?

 

i think what b3 just working but plugins not.

Or maybe something wrong with me database?

Nope, where is game_mp and games_mp i do it all right

If it's writting into game_mp.log but b3 is reading from games_mp.log, then it won't work.

Check the g_log command on server.cfg and make sure that it's writting to the file that's defined to be retrieved on b3.xml

And no, it has nothing to do with your database (according to your last posted b3.log)

My b3.xml is being stupid, anyone able to fix it?

 

b3.xml : http://pastebin.com/a0QMSZY9

 

b3.log : http://pastebin.com/pf8DAQJt

 

*NOTE* The password for my RCON & DB are FAKE Everything else is real

It's not connecting to the database.

Either MySQL service didn't start or MySQL password or database name is not properly set on b3.xml

Would my password be what I use to open MySQL? If it is, that's what I'm using & I don't understand it.. I've had alot of issues with IW5M & servers since I installed Windows 7 & should I be using "root" or something else?

iw5m_server.exe Stops responding when I start the server...Any help...

Yo, I'm setting up a home dedi and I'd like to know two things :

 

- How can I be sure to have the map rotation I want (meaning map_x will follow map_y...etc), this weight thingy is too random for me :?

 

- How can I randomize game mod between 3 games mods (I wan to randomize between TDM/TDEF/CTF) ?

 

 

I'd be glad if you answer

You can't really define a rotation on IW5M. It seems random, and it is random

As for defining the next gametype, you have to assign .dsr files to the playlist entries. So, it changes gametype whenever it loads a different gametype .dsr

Example:

 

*,TDM_default,1
*,TDEF_default,1
*,CTF_default,1

This would achieve what you want for gametype randomize

 

 

@|xTw|Gladiator: I need a better description of your problem (console output before the crash, for example)

Thank you,I dont have that problem anymore. Now the new problem is My server ping is too high for me..(that's kinda strange.But clients' ping is good).And when I open b3_run.py.. It says "Activating log:b3.log" after 5 or 8 sec it get closed...Any help??

The problem is that I don't want my server to run all maps as I find lot of them aren't fun to play so I made a kind of selection, maybe there's a way to restrict the randomizer to the maps we want :?

 

Anyway, thanks for the help

Don't include the boring maps into the map selection then..

The problem is that I don't want my server to run all maps as I find lot of them aren't fun to play so I made a kind of selection, maybe there's a way to restrict the randomizer to the maps we want :?

You can create up to 16 entries on the playlist. Just replace the * with a map's name and fo that to up to 16 maps that you select to run on your server.

Since revision 22, there's also another trick. You can now execute config files on a running server. So, you can have several copies of the same cfg, except each cfg launches a playlist.

Let's say that you make 3 copies of the cfg. Name it tdm.cfg, ffa.cfg and ctf.cfg

tdm.cfg launches tdm.dspl, while ffa.cfg launches ffa.dspl, and ctf.cfg launches ctf.dspl

While your server is running a TeamDeathmatch game, you execute ctf.cfg. And when the map rotates, it will load a map from ctf.dspl, wich you configured with ctf DSRs.

 

With enough skill, you can actually create a rotation You create a b3 plugin that sends commands with timeout intervals. So, the plugin is programmed to send "exec dometdm.cfg". That cfg calls a rotation that only has a line with mp_dome and a tdm dsr, configured for a 10 minutes match. So, the b3 plugin times out for 10 minutes, then sends "exec carbonctf.cfg". When the map rotates, it will launch carbonctf.dspl (and you can figure what that dspl contains, and what commands to include next)

WoW seems very tricky, I'm just begining I don't even have installed b3 yet but I guess i might try, I'm switiching to windows 8 this week-end but maybe I'll try to work on such stuff once it'll all be installed, it seems quite interesting and as I'm begining with programation these times I might try

 

Still I think puting some restrictions on the randomizer might be an easier solution...

when I open b3_run.py.. It says "Activating log:b3.log" after 5 or 8 sec it get closed...Any help??

Post here the content of b3.log

If b3.log isn't being created, then the crash is happening because you either made a mistake setting b3.log path, or that folder is set as "read-only" and b3.log is not being created.

(I'm assuming that you didn't put cod8.py on parsers folder, but let's see the log)

I would be glad to help you doing that plugin

Either MySQL login in not properly configured on b3.xml, or you didn't create the database. Login on phpmyadmin to check that. Also, make sure that "Gladiator" account has permissions to access b3 database.

Also, the parser should point to the local IP and MySQL connection can point to localhost. You made the opposite

You probably fail at setting the maps.

From now on, a german Tutorial for the servers(Not B3 or Client) can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=17232

Can someone help me with maprotation? In my default.dspl is only *,iSniper,1 :?
