Dedicated server problem.

[{S8G}Rub!c0n 10]

We've just set up a dedicated server wanting to play the hold maps. Its a 64 player server,and its called S8G Hold Server...plan and simple. But it says creating when i go to join in,and it doesnt do anything but says "wait for host"

Now what do i have wrong? I think it will be great to get the server going.Its the largest hold server that i have seen.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

You'll want to do a couple of things, first, change your admin password, now that we have all read it ;) Second, upload the hold missions to the MPMissions directory via FTP or whatever method you have available. Then once you've done those, try it again and see what happens. If you still have trouble afer selecting a mission to run, provide RPT, errors, etc. that we can work with.

yeah i knew that about the PW, ok thx for the help man.

since your class missions is empty the server has not been told what missions to load after a restart.

as mojo said you will need to upload the missions into the mpmission folder, but without a mission in the rotation you will need to give the server some input as to which mission to load when you connect.

login as admin (#login +admin pass)

select a mission (#missions)
