Hey guys I hope I am in the right place I am pretty new to the game and linux. I want to run a decicated server on linux and i'm using fedora 10. The problem i'm having is I don't know where to set the ip for it in the server.cfg. When I run "server_linux.sh it says my ip is 0.0.0.0:2600 listening on. I have read the readme.txt and help.txt in the server folder of nexuiz over and over again. Even if i changed the port it still said I was listening on port 26000.....

You will need to copy the right script<<<<<< what is the right script?

I got past the permissions by enabling root login and logged in as root until the changes were made.

and have adjusted the config file you

can start the server by running the server script. <<< is this the server_linux.sh??? and do you edit this in a text editor?? Whoever wrote the readme.txt did an awesome job, but it is quite cryptic to me.

Thanks in advance for any help.

the cvar is "net_address"

add

net_address 127.0.0.1

to your server.cfg

replacing 127.0.0.1 with your real IP.

thank you very much that was very fast! Do I put my internal address from my router or my gateway IP from comcast? I would imagine putting my internal ip address and then use port forwarding ?

Is there a "full" tutorial on how to setup a server.cfg?? It makes me wonder if that is the only other thing that was missing was the net_address ? I've tried looking for fully functional server.cfg's online, but I couldn't find one with the 2.5 Nexuiz. If someone has one and could post it with ip settings and edit it with a local loopback like he did >127.0.0.1?

I tried testing it with my internal ip and it still seems to be looking for this "non-existent" ip of 0.0.0.0.

Here is what it does now.

I also can't find the server when i'm looking for it in game , but i'm not stopping here

Heh, i thought the server/readme.txt was rather clear There are 6 scripts to start the server.. one to start as plain Nexuiz and one to start as Havoc server and that for all of the three supported systems (windows, linux, mac) 2 * 3 = 6 ... 'The right script' means that i can't know which system the potential new serveradmin is on nor which one of the two flavors he wants to run.... ( one of those: server_havoc_linux.sh server_havoc_mac.sh server_havoc_windows.bat server_linux.sh server_mac.sh server_windows.bat )
I guess you picked the server_linux.sh one and copied it over to your main Nexuiz path. That should be ok. And yes, running the server script means the one you picked.. in this case server_linux.sh from the Main Nexuiz path.
Usually its not needed to edit that file in an editor. (You only would have to do that if you want to change the NAME of the config file.. like some people run SEVERAL servers on one machine and thus need several different config files..)


Also '0.0.0.0:26000' IS FINE it just means the server is listening on ALL interfaces (network cards) and does NOT has anything to do with your IP.. its possible to restrict the server to only listen to connections on lets say the internal network (like if you want run a LAN) but usually 0.0.0.0 is correct.


I think one of your main problems is that either your have already several Nexuiz servers running or some other program(s) use the same ports. Look at your first post:

Code: Select all

Server using port 26000
LHNET_OpenSocket_Connectionless: bind returned error: Address already in use
Server failed to open socket on address 0.0.0.0:26000
LHNET_OpenSocket_Connectionless: bind returned error: Address already in use
Server failed to open socket on address 0.0.0.0:26001

LHNET_OpenSocket_Connectionless: bind returned error: Address already in use
Server failed to open socket on address 0.0.0.0:26004
Server listening on address 0.0.0.0:26005

The server tries to use the default port of 26000 and can't allocate it as its in use already... then it tries higher ports and also fails till it gets port 26004. Please check via ps or some other process manager to see if you have more then one nexuiz server running. Or try

Code: Select all

netstat | grep 2600

to find out which program is using those ports. I guess there are still nexuiz server processes running from previous tries..

When you have started a server and still have access to its console you can use 'quit' to shut it down.

i never used net_address, it should only be needed for some special occations that involve several network cards in one computer and trying to use only one of them..

if you do not see the server i guess something is not right with the port forwarding. I suppose you set it up to forward to port 26000 (which is used by some application already as the above message shows) so i'd advice to clean up that mess first and then try again I guess you basicly did everything right, just some app is already using that port and thus the forward to your server is not working. As i said, i think the readme.txt is good enough, but on the other hand i'm familar with nexuiz and might be missing something..
Please take your time and explain how i can improve that file so that we can help others with improvements!!! Actually i slightly changed that file for the upcoming 2.5.1 release.. you find the current version here: http://svn.icculus.org/nexuiz/trunk/ser ... iew=markup

Thanks for the help and awesome job with the game if you coded it i like it a lot. I did the grep and it didn't do anything- this is after rebooting.

[Jiggs@localhost ~]$ netstat | grep 2600
[Jiggs@localhost ~]$ su

[root@localhost Jiggs]# netstat | grep 2600
^^ i thought maybe it should say something so i tried as su.

Then you brought to mind I do have two nics on my board (onboard) I did ifconfig:

Does this mean I have to use net address Maybe that is why i'm getting 0.0.0.0. I have to forward the ports in two places as well I have ipcop running and then my router, so I have to forward ports locally and for external access. Do you think this may be my problem? I go in game and type : connect 192.168.0.38, i connect, but none of my settings are there. Is that because at that point it is not dedicated? How do i verify my dedicated server and connect to it?

I just figure i would post my specs maybe that will help as well

Again thanks in advance,

No, the default of 0.0.0.0 is correct for most cases.. in your case i THINK it should still work. But using

Code: Select all

net_addresse 192.168.0.38

should not hurt at all and might help..

Can you please check if the server can now use port 26000 in the log file?
On the other hand, the first log files you posted seem to indicate that the server is reading its settings just fine..

Code: Select all

execing server.cfg
maxplayers can not be changed while a server is running.
It will be changed on next server startup ("map" command).
"maxplayers" set to "16"

What makes you think its NOT working? If you can connect and play i think the server started

So i think the remaining problem is enabling the forwarding and maybe telling your local firewall (ipcop) to open that port for connects from the outside..

Well last night I did run the script many times LOL Now it is working on port 26000:

It wasn't working because none of the bots came in and the max player said 8 which i set to 16. Now the question is do you think I should leave the net_address in there? Here's the deal when I forward the port I need an ip to associate it with, 0.0.0.0 won't work. I guess the next thing is to get the server viewable in the server list. I was able to connect using connect 192.168.0.38:26000 and right away bots came in and i was owning
[BOT]Frosty was gunned by PlayerJiggs
[BOT]Dominator was gunned by [BOT]Spellbinder

[BOT]Dominator has been vaporized by PlayerJiggs
[BOT]Hellfire has been vaporized by PlayerJiggs
PlayerJiggs has 3 frags in a row

Is there somewhere that shows the commands for doing things in the terminal? Or is it best to try to get the rcon to work?

Well i guess yesterday some 'first try' server with default settings was listening on port 26000.. and thus you got that impression.

Heh, no you should NOT set port forwarding to 0.0.0.0 that will not work. That 'ip-address' is just a way to say the server is listening on all the available network cards. But you should still setup port forwarding to 192.168.0.38:26000 as thats the internal ip/port of your server!
Using net_address set to 192.168.0.38 might help if you still have problems but first try without net_address. Using a specific net_address will stop the server from listening on all network cards and just use the specified one.

I'm not sure how to setup your firewall/router but routers usually are simple to setup and maybe someone else uses ipcop around here..

What commands do you want? For Nexuiz? try cmdlist and cvarlist.. both print all the available commands/variables also i think in the ouns wiki (ouns.nexuizninjaz.com) have some lists. and the ninjaz also host some variable/command search tool..

Well when you can connect to your server rcon will simple work You just need to set the same password on the server and client..

Ok i understand now about the 0.0.0.0 is listening on all nics. I was wondering what nic it was associated with

Outgoing:
udp/26000 - game server
udp/27950 - master server

I found this in another thread here. Does this mean I have to forward the port 27950 for it to be viewable in-game on the server list? Is there any other ports I have to forward besides the 2600 is what i'm wondering i guess

For Nexuiz? try cmdlist and cvarlist.. both print all the available commands/variables also i think in the ouns wiki (ouns.nexuizninjaz.com) have some lists. and the ninjaz also host some variable/command search tool..

^^^ yes for Nexuiz. commands like map <map name> that might not be a bad idea to throw in the readme.txt for other users. Maybe a link to a site that shows all commands that you can do in the terminal? Also many servers have multiple nics and wouldn't be a bad idea to put the //net_address into the server.cfg?

maybe something like:
//net_address 127.0.0.1 //If using multiple network cards you can specify which IP to associate the game server to

Just a suggestion
Thanks,

Well in the case of Nexuiz it would be 'chmap NAME' .. the command 'map NAME' will drop all the connected players But i can't remember i ever did that on a running server. Usually when you have players on the server you use a vote.
Now that Nexuiz/server is somewhat usable i'm trying to find time to change my old server guide into one that will give such tips and tricks for server admins..

I'll think about adding net_address.. can't hurt for sure.

hello,

I am still having some difficulty finding my server in the server list. I can connect using my local ip (using the console with connect ....... But what's weird is that when i'm in game on the server i type: hostname in the console. It says PlayerJiggs Nexuiz server [Nexuiz Server]. That isn't what it is even in the cfg. Is there any reason that would be doing that? The server name should be Jiggs Nexuiz Server. I thought that might have something to do with it not showing up. I also got rid of ipcop for now to see if it was that. Now I have set the "virtual server" in my router config for the port 26000. Does it take some time to get on the list or should it show up right away?

I think also the hostname changes to just Nexuiz server when I remove the net_address command. If it was windows i think I would get it faster but i'm newer with linux. Do I have to set a rule like an exception in the firewall on the OS itself too? Thanks

Edit : heartbeat
net_refresh
Sending new requests to master servers
Unable to query master servers, no suitable network sockets active.
No network
Listening for replies...

I think i'm getting further.... But does anyone know what this means and why?

Actually if you take a close look it does say: "PlayerJiggs Nexuiz Server" ["Nexuiz Server"]
The part in [ ] is the default value for hostname. Its displayed for convenience and to see changes..

Well i'm not familiar with ipcop.. and if its disabled i'd guess no firewall rules are active anymore. But what have you done for that 'virtual server'? Normally you would have to enter at least three infos.. the sourceport on the router (26000) and the destination ip and port on the 'real' server (192.168.0.38 and 26000 ) oh and please make sure that ip does not change

"I think also the hostname changes to just Nexuiz server when I remove the net_address command." basicly that impossible

"heartbeat
net_refresh"
I wonder why net_refresh is actually working on the server.. as far as i know its only a client command to RETRIEVE the serverlist from the master server. And heartbeat is right, that will send an info to the masterserver that your server is up and running (like it does automatically if started as sv_public 1)

An other thing.. have you tried to have someone connect to your server? connect YOUR_EXTERNAL_IP:26000
If that works your router is bad and changes the port when the server tries to conntact the master server.

hahaha. I really appreciate taking the time and effort to help me out. To be honest I don't know what actually made it work. I was trying to connect to the server from the server machine. I think that was the problem, or either that or the heartbeat command did the trick.... I'm running fedora 10 and it has a firewall as well, so i enabled the 26000 port and 27950. As previously stated I disabled ipcop, then setup the "virtual server" in my router. Basically it just forwards ports but it's easier, because you can pick both tcp, and udp or just one. After I did the heartbeat command, and the query on the dpmaster server, it still wasn't showing up, (connecting from the server computer) I fired up my laptop and then it was in the server list. I left the net_address command in there too. I also know it's working because on the dpmaster "real time" server listing it is there and some other people have connected. It's called {DeV} Nexuiz Server. I also understand why you left out more commands when I looked into the server.txt (your help file) it was much more understanding after jumping through hoops . I found the commands to show what commands are available. I now have setup my first dedicated server on a Linux box Thanks to your guy's help

Jiggs: Solved!

You're welcome! Hope people can enjoy your server. But you do not need to open the port 27950. Thats the port the serverserver is running on.. and you nexuiz client only tries to contact it to say 'hello, here i am' Usually outgoing stuff is not blocked by firewalls. When you open ports you do that for ports on YOUR server and only 26000 (or what ever you configured) is needed there.
