Deus Ex Alpha

I tried running a Public Beta Test for my map...and usually when i host a non-dedicated server with a new map, i get at least some interest. However the server remained empty. I then thought to try a dedicated but something very strange happened

I hit start game...and then as usual the game closed itself
I was waiting for the icon to appear, but then all of a sudden the game started up again and it was if I was testing the map on SDK (i.e. single player).

I have a wireless router, but I think I was able to host even after I installed (but I'm not 100% sure about that) and I did try hosting a server on one computer and then go on the other, but nothing showed up.

Here is my .ini and .log

Is it just recently that people dont come? If so, i got the same prob. Usually my server is packed, lagged, but packed. But the past few days, my server dosnt appear either. And i get lonely

well i mean i did make it a cheat enabled server, and they dont stay empty for long...so Im kinda stuck

Bump + Update:

I Scanned the forums and found something about Port Fowarding...I followed the tutorial, and ended up with still no result. I don't know if this helps, I just thought I'd add it...

Hosting via WiFi isn't a good thing, because pings will be higher.

Find your IP (see http://www.whatismyip.com) and try joining your server via open command (open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7790).

I don't host from a computer that needs a wireless signal...I have a computer thats connected to the internet through cable (which I used to try and host) and then a laptop...which I used to test and see if i was online...

Is there anything wrong with my .ini or .log?

The server.log looks like its from non-dedicated server or single player — I didn't see any lines saying that it connects to Gamespy or any other master server, that is strange.

I was waiting for the icon to appear, but then all of a sudden the game started up again and it was if I was testing the map on SDK (i.e. single player).

This could happen (maybe) if you have more than 1 installed version of the game or it could have been just an occasion.
Try hosting via .bat file. Then post your server.log again.

Note that currently dxmp suffers from a problem of server list not showing up completely. You may find your server only after 3-4 or more times of pressing 'refresh' button. Zora believes that it's not that these servers are being attacked so harshly, but gamespy trying to stop dejavu somehow. We're not sure about the reason.

M.. Getting the same problem. People can connect to my IP and it seems to be running fine, but it doesn't appear in thier server list after any amount of refreshing. This has been going on for days now and even when it seems server arn't being attacked mine still doesn't appear. Cozmo managed to join by IP like any other server though...

We've got 5 people or so with the same problem.

Noticing a pattern?

ya same here..

i had that same problem but it suddenly fixed .

It just fixed by itself?

yes i left deus ex and when i came back it was fixed i was puzzled but im glad

Why am i not so lucky. I restarted my PC, reinstalled DX entirly, tried different mods that are suppose to help and still no luck for me.

oh yes i reinstalled deus ex about 5 times with still no luck but i played DXMP for a while and deicided on day to see if my server was still broken then it worked

this happened in the space of about 2 weeks because i am new

could it be Deja?

From what i have heard of him i am willing to say yes

Loads of people who used to host frequently can't hos now, I don't know whats going on..


Maybe everyone just .. made the same mistke.. lets hope so..

We made no mistake buddy. It is DeJa, it has his name written all over it.

As I said, most likely it's GameSpy's fault that people's servers don't show in the list. And GameSpy of course, doesn't say anything useful...

But why would just certain servers have these faults and not others?

well then we needto sk ourselves what these servers have that others don't...

Ok AgentSmyth. Let's start trying to fix it. Without accusing this and that for things.
First of all, try hosting with just DXMTL152b1, and not AlrightyGame, the gamemode made by AlrightyThen is genious, but has some... bugs here and there.

Then a second thing:
Replace the following part:

Code: Select all

[DeusEx.DeusExGameEngine]
CacheSizeMegs=4
UseSound=True
ServerActors=IpDrv.UdpBeacon
ServerActors=AlrightyGamev3.AlServerQuery
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.epicgames.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.fragaholic.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.godzserver.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerPackages=DXMTL152b1
ServerPackages=AlrightyGamev3

With this:

Code: Select all

[DeusEx.DeusExGameEngine]
CacheSizeMegs=4
UseSound=True
ServerActors=IpDrv.UdpBeacon
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerQuery
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.epicgames.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.fragaholic.com MasterServerPort=27900

For those who want to remark it: No I didn't leave out the godzserver line to tease them. I just want the part to be fully defaulted, so we know it's not because of something gone wrong in that part.

After this, please host again, and post the server.log
And another thing! Please, try to host a standard map, like Smuggler. Something which doesn't create any errors. We need a clean server.log!

I dont think it made a difference....

Please, read this:

DejaVu is manipulating the GameSpy masterserver. You can still host on the FGS MasterServer. Look for some help & playing abilities in that topic.

Although you can host on the FGS Masterserver now, perhaps the error of not seeing the server is caused by a certain mod? Do you have any of these?:

MmIAmTyping110,
AllanTeleporter,
MMShowMessage100,
MMUserControl1100,
DXTelnetAdmin,
Nephthys.

(Lol at the fact 5/6 mods are created by [A] )

Those are all the wonderful mods I host, I know, I need to clean it up abit as it's probably lagging my server out lol. I dunno if it will be to do with the installation of a mod though.. It's a possibility..
