Unreal1 Server Problems

[Colossul]

Im running a server and Im using a shortcut but its not showing in the list? Any Suggestions for an easy fix and also how do i get the servername to be what I want?

[Colossul]

Ok I open Ports and got it working, only thing is how do I name it and set admin pw and stuff dont see the options in the unreal.ini. Does anyone have a server.ini the have used in the past they could share..

First of all, you better use the advanced options menu that Unreal provides. It's far more comfortable and error-proof that editing an .ini file.

In the advanced options menu you will find a "Public Server Information" submenu under "Networking" where you can rename your server and write additional info. As for the admin. password thing that's under "Game Settings". Just fiddle around and if you have further doubts, read a manual or ask.

Yea only problem is I get an error when loading unreal on my server machine.

guess most easy method is to create the entire server setup locally on your home machine (with the help of the advanced options if you are not aware about all options) and then transfer the Unreal.ini to your server

Yea only problem is I get an error when loading unreal on my server machine.

what is the specific error that you see?

[Colossul]

Holy Shit, is that the old HLK Havoc? -GodsMercy from Hellbound or HBK. my brother was USMC.

[Colossul]

Ok I did what you said I copied the unreal.ini from my machine works great, only thing is I only see my server under lan servers. Am I supposed to be able to see it under deathmatch servers too? And thanks for the great suggestion.

Also Im having an issue with the second server. Heres the shortcut I'm using:
unreal.exe DmDeck16.unr port=7777 ini=server1.ini -server

Nothing is showing on the console

which is the same setup as server 2 except diff port and diff ini and that one works fine.

[hLk_Havok]

Yep same Havok. USMC, thats a name from the past, hope he's doing well.

Anyway, on this new server is the douplink set to true?

[Colossul]

Go it working thanks, is there anything i can do to tweak the server, like when i shoot the secondary of the asmd the circle is small instead of a huge purple ring?

and you dont remember me? GodsMercy aka Spits. USMC and I ran HBK Hellbound Klan and I ran illgamers.

Is anything going on with u1 anymore?

[hLk_Havok]

I remember u from a long time ago. {hLk} is still playing. We try to get together at least every Sunday afternoon.

As far as the asmd issue, what version of unreal are u running on the server? 225f? 226f? 227f?

For my servers I still like to run 225f, but for client i use 227f.

[Colossul]

I was using gold but i just ordered u1 its better for servers in my opinion. Gold has just been problems. you guys recruiting for HLK im looking to have some fun a few days a week?

[Smirftsch]

You can patch up UGold to 227f and use this then for server
UGold/226f is really not the best choice for servers due to many replication issues (and other things).

But if you prefer 225 for whatever reason, don't forget to install Nephthys to protect it, because there are a lot of security flaws.

For my servers I still like to run 225f

Why?

[Colossul]

Ok I patched it on Both Computers and I got the Same errors on both.


Anyone can Help?

[Smirftsch]

looks a bit like the problem which appears if there is still UPak.dll, UPak.u and UDSDemo.u still in the system folder. Often happens when manually patching. If so, delete them, as 227f doesn't support UPak (RTNP) yet. 227g is having a separate version then for UGold and is coming.

[[]KAOS[]Casey]

I'd suggest moving them not deleting them, since he'll need them in there to patch to 227g

Actually now that i think about it, I believe the issues I was holding out for have indeed been resolved. EDM6 is now out, and old clients can join 227 servers. I'm out of work for a couple of weeks due to some surgery recovery, so I'll uprade at least one of my servers and test.
