Ports

[Sp3c1alK]

Are ports necessary?

I'm using gameservers.com as my host and their default command line was this:

server DM-Heatray?maxplayers=16 -multihome=8.12.70.113 -port 7777 -unattended -login=-password -password= -log=GameServers.log -nohomedir

obviously that needed some editing, so I took out the extra password and made everything work right so it would display in the server browser.

BUT I STILL can't connect to the server. I've moved unattended to the end. THe only thing I'm not sure of is if I need a port listed in there. The server IP is: 8.12.70.113 and the port gameservers says on my info screen is: 27733 but on the command line they provided it's 7777.

So my question is, how would I fix this? Trial and Error? Or are ports even needed?

Here is my current command line:


server vCTF-Suspense?Game=UTGameContent.UTVehicleCTFGame_Conte nt?GameMode=3?numplay=0?maxplayers=16?NumPublicCon nections=16?NumPrivateConnections=0?NumOpenPublicC onnections=16?NumOpenPrivateConnections=0?bShouldA dvertise=True?bIsDedicated=True?PureServer=1?timel imit=20?goalscore=5?botskill=3?AdminPassword=13108 8?ServerDescription=103000097000109000101000079000 07800005800003200011800006700008400007000003200004 70000320000870000970001140001020000970001140001010 00032000047000032000105000110000115000116000097000 103000105000098000032000067000084000070000033000 -log=GameServers.log -login=xxxx -password=xxxx -multihome=8.12.70.113 -nohomedir -unattended

If the server is running on its default port (7777) then you do not need to specify it. If you need to run it on a non-default port then you need to specify it.

Gameservers.com will need to tell you accurately what port the server is supposed to be running on.

I think it might be a gameservers issue. From what I've read, everything looks right:

server vCTF-Suspense?Game=UTGameContent.UTVehicleCTFGame_Conte nt?GameMode=3?numplay=0?maxplayers=16?NumPublicCon nections=16?NumPrivateConnections=0?NumOpenPublicC onnections=16?NumOpenPrivateConnections=0?bShouldA dvertise=True?bIsDedicated=True?PureServer=1?timel imit=20?goalscore=5?botskill=3?AdminPassword=13108 8?ServerDescription=103000097000109000101000079000 07800005800003200011800006700008400007000003200004 70000320000870000970001140001020000970001140001010 00032000047000032000105000110000115000116000097000 103000105000098000032000067000084000070000033000 -log=GameServers.log -login=xxx -password=xxx -multihome=8.12.70.113 -nohomedir -unattended
