Unreal Gold Server

EduCatOR · Post by **EduCatOR** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 5:40 pm

Hi there everyone. Recently I setup an Unreal dedicated server. I actually had some people join and play, and one of the suggestions I got was to enable air control.

I downloaded a little server mod from the website here, I believe it was the UTeam possibly? Needless to say when I installed and restarted the server, I was unable to join. It pretty much just stalls when you're at the join page.

So I guess what I'm looking for is maybe just the right way to go about this. I'm new to hosting Unreal ded's.

I have Unreal Gold - and I am pretty (not entirely) sure that the version says 226, no letters behind it. People can join and say that it runs well so if anyone knows how I can get some air control going that would be great.

Any other cool things you think I should add to the server are more then welcome. Thanks and take care guys.

My website for all of my dedicated servers can be found here: http://www.thegravelpit.info

Again, thankyou.

Brian

:edit: Also - if I clean up a few of the forum images for you, would reupload? (i.e. the folder image and what not)

open the server's console (from the system tray)
and try:
set playerpawn aircontrol 1
or
admin set playerpawn aircontrol 1

that might be a simple solution

Yeah but it resets after level switch doesnt it?

Try download the DZ Map Mutator, and running that on your server. Then in the dzmapm properties, adding the line roland suggested, set playerpawn aircontrol 1, into the auto run commands in dzmapm

Alrite I will try it out and let you know. One more quick question, is my server a bad version? Are pretty much all the clients able to connect? Thanks for your time.

No, your version is fine, 226b is the latest version for Unreal Gold until 227g is released. And yes, your version is really 226b, even if you can't see the ending letter - it's hidden.

Still, it wouldn't hurt to try out 227f. Make a copy of your Unreal folder and patch that one if you want to try it out. Read wiki and release notes for more info on the 227 community patch

Anyone who does not use Gold cannot join your server.

Just as Bah said .. only Gold players can join a Gold server. Also, just as Emerald said .. the 226b version of Gold is correct.

But I would suggest that you run your server with regular Unreal 1 patched with the latest release of 227, or at least 225F.

UGold's replication is a total mess, from what I've heard. >_> You don't want to scare people away. When I see the number 226 I avoid it because I know that it'll crash me when I join. You should backup your UGold system folder, patch with 227f and when 227g comes out patch your old UGold folder with it. That's what I'd do.

Actually.. if you remove upak in it's entirety you can use it as a server, but only 224,225, gold{226b}, and 227 can connect, but 226f can't connect.

224 servers can have all clients as far as I know, but it has worse netcode than 225f, I never really heard much about 224 servers so it's limited.

225f can have all versions, bar none unless you reference specific things, this also applies to all versions.. for some reason, 224 has a few meshes as lodmeshes where 225 and greater don't, such as moon1m. If a mod references the mesh and it's made in 225, 224 can't connect. Also, if you use any of the netupdatepriority or frequency, 224 can't connect.

226f servers can't have 226b or 227. I don't know if 224 can connect to them, but I do know 225f can. 226f is absolutely terrible except for OMP, and even then you can use gold for it so I wonder why 226f even exists honestly, all it does is wreck everything in the end, such as the replication screw ups that cause effects to work improperly.. then on the client you cant enter a server with a password using player setup, which was perfectly fine in 225f, just like the doppler in 225f.. it works, but in 226f it's magically broken again. But then again 225f had broken 3d sound, but galaxy altogether is broken with positioning to begin with.

Oh also, 226f has disconnect/reconnect commands like gold, and iirc they both have the dreaded ghost bug..

tl;dr : use 227 for a server. There's really no reason to have 226f imho.

Nope, you're confusing Gold (226b) with RTNP (226f). Gold is a lot, lot better.

EduCatOR · Post by **EduCatOR** » Sun Jun 21, 2009 6:07 pm

For starters - my version seems to Unreal Gold 226b RTNP (does that even make sense? lol)

Still, it wouldn't hurt to try out 227f. Make a copy of your Unreal folder and patch that one if you want to try it out. Read wiki and release notes for more info on the 227 community patch

I believe I tested this right when I installed the game. Everything seemed to work except I was not able to join the server. I switched back to 226 for the time being.

Looks like I'm going to have to install the original Unreal and patch it. One more quick question. Where can I find the DZ map mutator? I searched the downloads but came up short.

When I get the 227f server going I plan to run the enhanced deathmatch mod, would I even need the DZ mutator? Sorry for all the n00ber questions, just trying to understand it al. 8-) Thankyou for all the replies....

you would still need dzmapm to run the startup commands yes, 227 doesn't have gameplay changes like that.

Also, if you have unreal gold, it's always going to be 226b, unless its the anthology version, which is a modified 226b{just like steam version, I think}

GreatEmerald · Post by **GreatEmerald** » Sun Jun 21, 2009 7:42 pm

Unreal Gold is RTNP + Unreal, RTNP (226f) is RTNP only on a CD.

Also, if you have unreal gold, it's always going to be 226b

Only until 227g arrives

There is DZmapM, it is really useful mutator, I recommend it..

And the stuck loading bug in UTEAMFIX happens on slower computers(but sometimes even on fast), well it happens even on 512 MB RAM ones, which were common in 2004 etc, UTEAMFIX eats a lot of memory really etc...
You should type in reconnect when that happens, but you will see doubles etc, or just use jcoopZ.

Thankyou kind sirs....am installing the original unreal right now. w00t!

Well I got it up and running, interestingly enough though I can't get it to show up in the server list. I have it on the same port as the old unreal gold server so I'm not quite sure what the problem might be just yet. I can see it in LAN and can connect so maybe it's a problem with my ports for some reason...

If anyone has time to check to see if they can see it, that'd be super.

Don't worry that's normal. You will only be able to see it in LAN as you are joining the server from the same network that the server runs on. I see it just fine in the server list

Can you see both the 227f server and the Gold DM server? I have both up right now...

Well technically your supposed to be able to, but I'm running 3 servers right now and I can only see 1 of them on LAN. However everyone else can still see them so yeah it's ok. You can simply join them by typing "Open (IP:Port)" Make sure the IP you use is your routers IP...not you external IP. To figure out your router IP, go to Start --> Run --> type cmd or command. Then type "ipconfig" in the window that comes up. The first # it gives you should be it
