Creating a server

[ViperCheese 0]

I tried making a multiplayer server on the internet through the in game multiplayer menu. I couldn't make a server name and my friend said he couldnt find it on the list of availible servers. How do i create a server through the flashpoint multiplayer menu. please give a step by step process. Thanks in advance.

Only dedicated servers are shown in the in-game server browsers.

To create a dedicated server, you'll need OFP Resistance Server Patch from http://www.flashpoint1985.com if you use OFP:R.

If you start your own remote server - not dedicated - you must give your friend your IP, and then he chooses Remote, pastes/types in your IP address, and then connects to your server.

Just for reference here's some websites that give you your IP address:

http://whatismyipaddress.net/

http://www.whatismyip.com/#

Cause i couldn't gte mine through some other way where you type something in the Run box or something like that. Also remeber your IP address will change, so keep checking it.

Hi, I've tried setting up a remote server, used whatismyip.com and gave that to my friend.

Do they also have to use the same port # that I am using, I used 2302 I think.

On his join game screen, which lists the servers, my name did come up, but it was outside the server list box/table and he couldn't click it, or click join game???

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

I had a router tutorial but then the site it was hosted on (evilmadman.com) crashed and burned.... it's probably your router. I might rewrite it someday...

First: you need a DIRECT connection to the internet, no router/firewall/etc stuff. If you have those yoou need to forward/allow ports for the server to work.

Second: you need a server.cfg to set the name and to let the server announce itself to the gamebrowsers. it is loaded via "server.exe -config=Server.cfg".

Third: all this is covered in the ds-admin.rtf that came with your resistance cd. This file is also in the win dedicated server archive.
