[Vincenzo]

Does anyone know the command to run the .bat file via a terminal (rented cloud server)

Follow the guide for linux.

Thanks for the tip, sadly I don't seem to be allowed access to etc/apt/sources.list to install Wine

Did you try sudo?
or log in as root.

[EvilLemon]

Yea, I emailed them - seems to be an issue on their end. I'll try again later

I'm using VPSSquad now - RAM=512(1024 bursted)  Bandwidth=350GB in Germany - I've requested a Debian 5.0 Lenny (32bit) operating system. Will that work well with your Linux guide? ((They haven't set the OS yet and I don't seem to have access quite yet so I haven't had a chance to test it))


Edit: P.S - Sorry for the double post :\

[Vincenzo]

Debian is pretty similar to ubuntu I'm sure it will work out.

Edit: Sorry if this is a silly question, but how do I stop the server, without having to restart the VPS? Do I just re-type the same start server cmd?

Edit2: Servers using 300mb ram so it must be running, shame I can't see it.

For edit:
execute:
pkill wineconsole
to kill all the servers currently running, if you only want to kill one just type:
pkill <processid>
To find a process id look in the program top.


For second edit:
Make sure you did the port thing properly, also opened the port in your linux firewall. (check some manual for your distribution)

Also did you add that command set_add_to_game_servers_list 1
to your config file?

Hey,

I need to set up a 200 player server, how would I get that done?
I can only seem to get 30 max atm (or close to 30 cant remember off top of head)
I also am Unable to find a was to change the time lit.

I think this was the wrong place to post this. Plz go to this if you want to help. (http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,132939.0.html)

Thanks!

I've adding firewall exceptions and port forwarded my laptop, but not the VPS - I was wondering about that earlier. But before I try any of that I'll try the newest dedicated files as it's still running on 1.127 at the moment as Steam is downloading rather slowly.

Also did you add that command set_add_to_game_servers_list 1

Yep :p
to your config file?

Thanks for all the ongoing help by the way, muchos gracias :p

Edit: Do you know if Steam causes issues for finding servers? I couldn't see my server yesterday, but 20 people had joined it. Today, on the Steam version, I can't see it and nobody is joining it. Thoughts?

Edit2: Oh, two people are in it.

[Vincenzo]

The steam version of the game is the same as the normal game, so there should be no differences between the normal cd version or steam.

I wouldn't know why you can't find your own server.
If others can and can play on it, then it is pretty much a problem at your end..
I would suggest looking into router problems, or even reinstall your computer. There could be so many things that is wrong....

Your server should be listed under LAN, even though others find it in the internet list.

[EvilLemon]

It's hosted on a remote server, not my PC though. Two days ago I was hosting a 1.127 server and 20 people joined it, now that it's 1.131 only 2 or 3 people joined it, should that worry me or is it just a coinkidink?

Edit: I'll try disabling my firewall and try a DMZ thing to see if it's my internet blocking it, I've added loads of firewall exceptions though..

Edit: I set the DMZ to my IP, disabled my windows firewalls and turned off Avast. It still didn't show up in the list

Edit: I tried iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --source-port 7240:7245 -j ACCEPT but that didn't show any confirmation message so it's probably wrong, and iptables -l give me iptables v1.4.2: Unknown arg `(null).

iptables -A INPUT -p udp --destination-port 7240:7245 -j ACCEPT also showed no confirmation.

-Other people seem to be able to join, just not me :\

How do I get over 64 player server?

Hi
Simply put, dedicated server hosting simply means taking an entire web server on rent from your hosting service provider. This is different from shared server hosting, where a number of clients are hooked to the same server and share the resources of the server jointly.
