Why isn't my hosted game on the internet?

[GoldenAngel]

I trusted it with my firewall.

If I were you I would check if the option "Advertise on Internet" is Yes. If not, ask one of the techy guys here about ports and all that good stuff.

 

[GoldenAngel]

oh

It does say yes. Should I delete the old srb2win file? Maby that file is in the way.

 

[clairebun]

What do you mean, the "old one?"

If you're refering to 1.09.2, yes, get rid of it. Netgames on that have been prohibited since the release of .4.

hey

Its not showing still...I am supposed to download something else to make it a multiplayer? I got proof. Look at the server status here http://srb2.servegame.org/ and then check on the srb2win game in full screen. You can't join it because you don't see it, but the serever say its there.

this is because my masterserver dosn't check if port 5029/udp is open

if you don't have port 5029/udp open, it doesn't show up in-game because your game is unjoinable

please see http://www.portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/SRB2/SRB2index.htm for a gudie on how to setup your router to port forward SRB2

edit: note to self, don't write posts in the middle of the night, brain is turned off by then

uhh

Are sure you gave me the right link? It has no relationship for a computer game like srb2, and whats a sram?

 

[Blitzzo]

I think he meant to post this link:

http://www.portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/SRB2/SRB2index.htm

 

[GoldenAngel]

The link u gave me had th0ousands of links. Which one do I choose?

 

[clairebun]

The link that has your router's name on it.

Either way, they should all be relatively the same. Mainly you just need to know where to go and which buttons to press.

 

[GoldenAngel]

thanks.

By looking at it...

 

[GoldenAngel]
