"I can't see my server in the server list"

[Professor Layton]

:S, seems your deusex.ini doesnt have any
[IpServer.UdpServerUplink] section, replace your current one with the one i uploaded in attachment.

[Tonnochi]

Alright thanks. Also, what about the other fixes? Those are just because I've lost my memory...

[Kaiden]

Have you added the map to your DeusEx.ini yet? Here's a guide how:

Open your Deus Ex.ini:



Locate this section (Near the bottom):



IF you can't see this, Open Deus Ex, click on Multiplayer>Lan>Host. Host a basic game, then close it. Open your .ini again and it should be there.

Enter the map name you want, in this case:

Code: Select all

DXMP_FunLine_BigFlyingParty-2

Add this to the next avaliable number, most likely Maps[4]=.

Now the map is in your System. Next scroll abit up, and find this section:



You can see it says CurrentMap=. The map name after this will be the map that automatically starts if you, for example, run a .bat file I believe. To be fair, when you press Host, you can choose the map to host anyway.

Add the map you want, most likely

Code: Select all

DXMP_FunLine_BigFlyingParty-2.

And of-course the final thing to do is:



So then, hope that helps!

Nice try with the logo, but it's dxalpha.co.uk actually

[Tonnochi]

Here's a guide how:

That was awesome.

[Alex]

Nice try with the logo, but it's dxalpha.co.uk AND dxalpha.com actually

[Kaiden]

Lol, np, glad to help. I should probably add this to the KB.

Edit: Done! http://www.dxalpha.co.uk/kb/hosting/Add-ini-maps

[Tonnochi]

I don't have that section in my DeusEx.ini. I think I know why.

[Six Of Seven]

I had this problem and I never managed to fix it

[Karkian]

Same with me, i followed a tutorial on how to open my ports, but it'll never work, i turned my firewall off and i get the same results

[Alex]

Ok, since you all have different routers, I have a better tutorial.
Step 1
Go to http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm and find your router (And click on the link, of course)
Step 2
Go to the list with all D's, and look for 'Dues Ex' (Yes, Dues! They made a mistake, a stupid one), and click on the link.
Step 3
Follow all instructions that are on the page you reached.

[Karkian]

Lol, i'm so smart i already done that and it still wont show

[~[ß]iohazardous~]

As port range, we need to open the following ports:
7790
7791
7792
8777
27900

From the deus ex Readme file :

make sure that ports 7790, 7791, 7792 and 27900 are allowed through.

so the port 8777 isn't needed

[Alex]

That's old. I know 27900 isn't required aswell. At least, I tried hosting a server without having 27900 & 8777 bound, and that worked out just fine.

[Karkian]

Well, seems ill never be able to host

[Allan]

Is it just me, or do games now show up regardless of being hosted on LAN or internet? I keep hosting LAN games for my friends, yet somehow it keeps getting gate-crashed by DX-ST members asking for admin/killing my mates...

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

LAN server just means that the uplink is not set.
If the ports are forwarded, others can still join if they know IP and port.

[Allan]

But it also shows up on internet games to me, despite the fact i'm behind a router, with properly forwarded ports, regardless of whether it's a LAN game or not... =S

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

Then the uplink is set..
Apart of that, it's unlikely that you see your own server shown in the internet.

[Allan]

Ah well, I'm not complaining. ( that much )

It's just an inconvenience that I can't host in privacy. But I guess it's better than most people here.

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

Yeah, most will have the problem the other way around.

[Kaiden]

Yeah, I hosted a LAN to test a map I was making and like 5 people came on complaining it wasn't RPG lol.

[Allan]

Are you using MMUserInterface160, per chance?

[Kaiden]

Not when I last hosted on LAN I wasn't.

[x_Rewind_x]

I used to have this probelm but i fixed it by going to my router configation and forwarding the ports:

TCP 7790 - 7792
UDP 27900

hope this helps some people who are having the saem problem

Would'nt everyone would've done this? because like, who wouldnt of opened them,ready a tutorial saying to open those ports

[~{17}~JIN~]

some people don't know know how to open their ports even with a tutorial.. Its not as explanatory as a real human being who knows what to do, doing it right beside the other one.

Wtf, if they didnt knew how to open their ports, then what was that post all about? it wouldn't of helped me at all

[Kaiden]

I didn't know how to open ports in my very old router, so I go Alex to Remote Desktop my computer and have a look at it.
