trouble with creating server

[strider114]

me and my "mates" are trying to make a dedicated server, we downloaded the tools and have yet to figure out how we can get the server available to other people. it just simply wont work or dosent show up at all in the server list. We have tried lots of diffrent things in an attempt to get the server up and running yet no resolution to our problem has been found. So i end up here trying to figure out how to get this dam thing running.

any advice and help will be accepted and we will very much appreciate it :)

Re: trouble with creating server

These are the most important settings, found in settings/serversettings.con

sv.internet must be = 1 for Internet play.

It doesn't matter if it's in the browser though, people can connect directly with an IP. If they can't then make sure that your friends can ping the IP address and that the IP you're giving them is your public one and not a private one (normall starts with 192.x or something)



sv.serverName "BF2 Server" // Name of your BF2-Server
sv.welcomeMessage "text line 1 | text line 2 | [...]" // Server welcome message,
// use ' |' for a linebreak.
sv.password "" // Password needed for players to join the server
sv.internet 0 // 0 = LAN server, 1 = internet server
sv.serverIP "192.168.1.1" // IP of your server
sv.serverPort 16567 // Port of your server
sv.punkBuster 1 // 0 = disable Punkbuster, 1 = enable Punkbuster
sv.maxPlayers 32 // Maximum number of allowed players (16, 32, 64)
sv.numPlayersNeededToStart 10 // For ranked servers, this needs to be:
// 6 for maxPlayers 16, 10 for 32, 10 for 64
sv.roundsPerMap 2 // How often each map will be replayed
sv.[*]FriendlyFire 100 // For ranked servers: FF on and at 100% damage
sv.friendlyFireWithMines 1 // same as above
sv.tkPunishEnabled 1 // For ranked servers, you need FF-punish on
sv.interfaceIP "192.168.1.1" // IP of your server
