Team Fortress 2 Server Test

[little P]

So far it looks like only 3 of us lol but that's ok because I'll probably be running bots as well and the bots are bl00dy good!

I didn't really want to announce it as I'm not sure how well this is going to go and I only wanted to involve people who may be around anyway.

If we can get it to work and it runs smooth enough, we'll post an announcement on it as I'd love to run one of these Community Game Days asap.

Ok, cool. What time? I'll be on from around 8pm GMT until late. If you wanna fit in some Portal 2 or something we can do as well, see what happens

I'll be around much of the day just idling on Teamspeak so you can just yell at me when you're around.

 

[little P]

you can just yell at me

Thanks, always good to get permission, most of the time I just do it anyway

 

[Kenadian]

lol you and everyone else :icon_cry2:

Well things have changed rather drastically since the last time I ran a TF2 Server so I'm basically starting over. I'm just hoping I can still use the old server.cfg file because it took Paris and I forever just to come up with that lol.

Files are finally downloading though so hopefully everything is all good for tomorrow.

Ok d00d.

I'll jump on TS when I'm online and we'll see where we are. I'm stocking up on wobbly pops for tonight so hope you are too :icon_twisted:

I have the default tf2 server working

 

[Kenadian]

How did you get it to work?

 

[ElektroVodka]

I followed the wiki and the manual method described at first.
Somehow that vojnar shit isn't working as it should, and the guides explaining what to do are outdated

I had made a basic server.cfg and just added +servercfgfile without any arguments to the server start bat.
Only then it reported to steam service and got added to the serverlist.

Before it wouldn't even use the default config, which iirc it should as explained in several tutorials.

i just went as far as getting the server to run vanilla and stopped fiddling after that as prop hunt in TF2 sucks ballzz.

I will add my config and start.bat when i am back at the machine i made it on

 

[Kenadian]

Do you have good information on the Port Forwarding as well?

 

[ElektroVodka]

I've changed the port in the start up line to be 27014.
And opened and forwarded it the way u normally do.
It didn't look like it was a port problem after all, it was the server not going trough its full auth loop with steam main server, thus not showing up anywhere but in the cmd screen.

 

[Kenadian]

So you added the port in the server.cfg then?

 

[ElektroVodka]

No, i changed that in the start up line that's in the serverstart.bat

Start.bat: (Very basic just for testing but working)

srcds.exe -console -game tf +sv_pure 1 +servercfgfile +sv_port 27015 +mapcyclefile +maxplayers 24
pause

server.cfg (also very basic, taken from wiki)

hostname "Band Of Others Prop Hunt By Fragtard.net"        //The Name of your Server that players will see
sv_password "test"                //Leave empty if you do not want a password
rcon_password "comeontrythiswhenweareonline"    //Password to enable rcon access from the console
mp_timelimit 30             //Round Timelimit
mp_maxrounds 10                //Maximum Rounds Playable before map change
sv_allowupload 1            // Allow clients to upload customization files (Optional Line, Used for Sprays)
sv_allowdownload 1            // Allow clients to download files (Optional Line, Used for Sprays)
net_maxfilesize 15            // Maximum allowed file size for uploading in MB (Optional)

If i find the time later today when i wake up i'll make a downloadable ready to go server pack to make our lives easier.

It will be without the 5 gigs worth of tf2 files as they can be separatly downloaded through steamcmd.

 

[Kenadian]

I don't think you need to go through the trouble as I have everything done already, updated and working. I just couldn't get it to show outside of LAN and I'm pretty sure its due to the serverstart.bat.

 

[ElektroVodka]

Let's hope so

Ah saves me a lot of trouble indeed, woke up just 30 minutes ago and already know this is not a day where there's anything usefull coming out of my hands

 

[Kenadian]

It must be the only thing missing as I tested it on LAN with 24 bots and it worked flawlessly. The only issue was I couldn't get it to show in the Server Browser outside of LAN which should mean only one or two minor details.

I do know the Server is setup as sv_lan 0 which should be the correct setting to show outside of LAN so what else could it be?

 

[ElektroVodka]

I don't have that set anywhere. Try running with that command commented out, might be an obsolete setting.
