"wait for host"/dedicated server problem

Recommended Posts

i've spent most of my evening setting up a dedicated server on my computer, I set up the server.cfg/basic.cfg, got the profiles working and i can see the server on the server list.

however whenever i join i just get "wait for host", when i log in and use #monitor i get the following

waitforhost.jpg

i really don't know much about this kind of stuff but i think it could have something to do with blocked ports on my router.

i set port 2302 to be forwarded but i still get the same 'wait for host' and 0kps up/down

like i said, i dont have much experience in this field and for all i know it could just be the server.cfg written incorrectly.

heres the server.cfg just in case i screwed it up

// GLOBAL SETTINGS

hostname="armaserverx";

password="";

passwordAdmin="xxxxxxxxxx";

reportingIP="armedass.master.gamespy.com";

logFile="server_console.log";

motd[]={

"", "", "",

"Welcome to the Testing",

"Server Settings: Veteran, Crosshair=off, 3rdPerson=on, MapInfo=off, VoN=on, CustomFiles=200KByte, Voting=33%, PersistentMaps=on",

"We are looking for fun - Join us Now !",

"http://www.mypage.org/",

"",

"You should use mumble, its better than",

"TS2 Server for recruits: mypage.org:8767"

};

motdInterval=5;

// JOINING RULES

checkfiles[]={

"HWTL\dta\data3d.pbo",

"dta\data3d.pbo"

};

maxPlayers=30;

kickDuplicate=1;

verifySignatures=0;

equalModRequired=1;

// VOTING

voteMissionPlayers=0;

voteThreshold=0.33;

// INGAME SETTINGS

disableVoN=0;

vonCodecQuality=6;

persistent=1;

// SCRIPTING ISSUES

onUserConnected="";

onUserDisconnected="";

doubleIdDetected="";

regularCheck="";

// some ArmA specific stuff - signature verification

onUnsignedData = "kick (_this select 0)";

onHackedData = "ban (_this select 0)";

onDifferentData="";

BattlEye=1;

// MISSIONS CYCLE (see below)

class Missions

{

class Domination // name for the mission, can be anything

{

template = co@30_Domination_3_52_West_ACE.Sara;

cadetMode = 1; // difficulty 0=veteran 1=cadet (not only AI, but radar, map etc)

};

};

thanks!

Dunno if it effects anything but remove the space under class Domination and then check the mission name is exactly right and in the right place on the server.

Merlin,

open the port range 2302-2305 on your router and forward these to your server IP (all in the router interface). You should be able to select between TCP or UDP ports, choose UDP. If that doesn't work choose TCP :) I simply don't remember right now; but I think it was UDP.
