hy i have a problem

i did everything like described and i could succesfully make a server,it was visible,i could play and all but only at the first start

when i started my server again on an another day it wasnt visible and i couldnt connect

i redid everything today but it still doesnt work,its not appearing on the master server list

i forwarded all the necessary ports,my firewall and virusscanner is off,i even forcefully shut them down in the control panel,but still nothing

help me pls this is making me go crazy =/ i wanna play with my friends on the faceoff maps already

Maybe your router is assigning a different internal IP each time that you turn on your computer (one of the major ISPs herein Portugal are giving their clients routers wich do that)

If the internal IP changes, then all your port forwarding goes to garbage and needs to be done again, to the new internal IP.

i did all of the above but when i run server Executing server config "server.cfg"

Error: Dedicated Server Config "server.cfg" could not be read

Could not load map rotation "". Shutting down

this worked thank you very much

@ Silent-Heart, is your cfg named "server.cfg", and is it located at "admin" folder?

My server crashes right after I start it ("not responding")

The console doesn't even open before crashing?

It does

There you got your problem. You have to use cod8 parser.

It does

And what does it say on those lines? (copy and paste here)

upps

Well I changed it, but the RCon will not connect..

You should also use the internal IP (NOT "localhost" or "127.0.0.1") for the rcon IP

Also, did you add cod8.py on parsers folder?

Thanks now it works. I lookup the wrong internal IP from the wrong adapter...

Do you know if I can use the same DB as my IW4M one?

In theory, using the same db might work... in practice, you better not, or you'll mess weapon and map entries all over. It's ok to use the same db to all IW4M or to all IW5M servers. But better not mix games.

Ok thanks. I will create a new DB.

The ports that you are trying to use are not available. Either another service is using those, or your router doesn't allow those ports to be opened.

 

You can try something. Open the server's folder and double click iw5m_server.exe

After it loads the cfg, type this command on the console

start_map_rotate

You'll see that the server will now run, but on random ports, wich are not forwarded.

If there's another service using those ports, just choose some other ports for that server. But if your router doesn't allow you to open the ports, then you got no chance to host a server at your home.

They are forwarded

Also I tried using the iw5m_server.exe and same problem appears
