Dedicated Server Hosting Guide

Users who are viewing this thread

Ok I'll trust ya. Sorry just normally everything works fine so when something doesn't I speed test, renew my IP, etc - then try again.

-Update-
Ok so it works now thanks. But as a side note when I host, it makes 2 servers, one of which behaves normally and the other refuses everybody on the grounds of invalid authorisation key.
 
Can you please release a full list of all values that could be used in the config ?
 
we are trying to set up a server. problem is that it does not appear in server browser.
We have good bandwidth and we have set which ports it should use.

Do you have a router connected to your server? If so, did you forward the port correctly?
 
Hello, I have a problem. I downloaded the dedicated files, opened ports, I read the post and followed the guide. When I execute the NW_Star_Sample_Battle, the server appears, but only in LAN. Here I put the .txt:

Running on Ubuntu 11.04 here; everything installed fine and on launching the server via wine console it gives the indication it works (it hasn't crashed, no errors, allowing me to input commands) but I can't see my server on the server list.

How can I see if my server is actually running? And has anyone else had this problem? Thanks!
 
Right, I've got it working after a nice and painful headache. The answer was infront of me all along (inside the windows batch start files).

For anyone else using a linux vps; use this command instead of the one in the original thread:

wineconsole --backend=curses mb_warband_dedicated.exe -r NW_Sample_[GameMode].txt -m Napoleonic Wars

From what I gather, it was running but wasn't showing in the list because OP had forgotten to add the mode of Napoleonic Wars. Hope this helps!

Oops!

Added to guide :smile:

Great, also it might be worth mentioning something about this post (quote below) in the guide, as I also needed this to get it to work :wink:
