Dedicated Server Hosting Guide

[SweatyShadowbs]

If you are hosting the server on your PC, then YOU should see it in LAN, that's normal.Whereas your friends should see it in the internet list.

So they'll see it as Server # on their screen? (It's Server # because setting the server name didn't work for some reason.) Also, my friends can't see it on the internet tab.  I tested it.

Try to open your ports. However not everyone can host one, it depends on your connection.

Hello,

I tried hosting a server, and it seems to be up and running (I can play on it). However I am the only one who can see it...
I opened the ports on my Modem. Can there be any other reason ?

Is there any information on running custom maps, i Mean from what I have understood you can overwrite maps to run your own custom maps, but is there a way to add your own custom maps with their own name to a server?

I seem to have an odd predicament in which my server is said to be running version 0.000 so it will not allow anyone to join.

I've tried downloading that twice now and it both times it has stopped saying interrupted at 184mb of 213mb.

I just tried it myself download works fine, probably your internet.

[TheLazySamurai]

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?
