Res ded. servers visible in gsa

[Melkor 0]

Does anyone know how to make dedicated servers visible in the Operation Flashpoint: Resistance lobby of GameSpy Arcade? I have seen Karrillion do this before.

I am running standalone server version 1.90.

I won't give up until I find out how

might as well tell me

Hmm, are you talking about it showing up in Gamespy arcade under dedicated servers?

There should be a setting in the server's cfg file where you set the master server ip, but I don't have the cfg here at home so I can't remember what the setting is.

No not in the dedicated servers room, that is for 1.46

oh, is it

reportingIP="";

?

According to the standalone DS-Admin file the reporting IP is the IP address of the master server to which this server is reporting its state.

I just set mine to "master.gamespy.com".

No luck yet...don't see it in list.

Well it willappear by default if you have the right ports open on your router. If its not there check your router settings or proxy.

Ports 2302 and 2303 are needed, not sure about any others - use the search function there was a whole thread about this.

There is no router or proxy, and the port is 2302...

I did a couple searches to find if there was a similar post like this, didn't find any that helped.

Firewall open on 2302 AND 2303

You connect to 2302 but Game info is on 2303.

Something else using 2302 ?

Try that thread for port issues - if your still having problems try Avon Lady's site - the FAQ's are very good.

Hmmmm......Here is my server.cfg

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">passwordAdmin = "weeeee"; // Admin password

hostname = "MELKOR'S SLAUGHTER HOUSE";

motd[]=

{

"WELCOME TO MELKOR'S SLAUGHTER HOUSE",

"PLEASE KEEP CUSTOM SOUND FILE SIZES LOW",

};

motdInterval=3;

voteThreshold=0.5;

voteMissionPlayers=0;

maxPlayers = 40;

class Missions // I won't bother listing all these{};<span id='postcolor'>

and my shortcut to flashpint server is this

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">"C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\FlashpointServer.exe" -config=server.cfg<span id='postcolor'>

What is that -port= command line argument? do I need that?

[Skunk Monkey 0]

the -port is only if you dont want to use the default port (2302)

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">

hostname="[sES]WWW.SUICIDESQUAD.CO.UK COOP 20Kb Limit";

MaxMsgSend=384;

MaxSizeGuaranteed=512;

MaxSizeNonguaranteed=256;

password="ses";

passwordAdmin = "something"; // Admin password

motd[]=

{

"Welcome to the Suicide Euro Squad [sES] server",

"This server is normally passworded - PASSWORD = ses",

"Please feel free to join",

"We enforce a 20kb custom face or sound Limit",

"Please spread the word that password = ses",

"[sES] Coop at its best",

"You need ADDONS to play here. Get them at WWW.SUICIDESQUAD.CO.UK",

"Respect your fellow players. This server is public, but passworded",

"@ = Addon map",

"Send comments to server@skunkmonkey.net",

"Everyone is always Welcome"

};

motdInterval=2;

voteThreshold=0.4;

voteMissionPlayers=1;

<span id='postcolor'>

looks much like my server.cfg ...

OK....I have it right, but the server still doesn't show up in the Resistance lobby

EDIT: Doesn't show up in All-Seeing-Eye either

I am running the sever from Windows if it makes a difference.

Maybe you still have to open the port in your firewall? Check Avon's FAQ for the nescessary port number. OFP does not use its normal port for reporting to gamespy...

How do I do this?

[Melkor 0]

This is what I want to do

It does sound like a port problem.

What firewall system do you have?

If you are using ZoneAlarm (very common personal firewall) then you need to drop the firewall level to medium from high which stops ports being "stealthed" and therefore stops Gay-Spy and ASE seeing your server (althouigh people who know the IP could still connect)

OFP-R uses 2302 and 2303 -2302 is for gameplay and 2303 is for server infomation that goes to ingame browser/gay-spy/ASE.

[Melkor 0]

I don't have a firewall

[Melkor 0]

I see my server in All-Seeing-Eye now, but thats still now what I wanted

[Skunk Monkey 0]

I thought you wanted your server to appear in ASE and gay-spy, right it does, your server.cfg sets the name, what else do you need?
