    ok XAIN and I have come to the conclusion that you need the latest directX to run the server, maybe the physx libraries as well

    I'm getting a success when I used the command prompt but it seems to continue to use only LAN

    Specify an IP address for the server and people should be able to connect to it.

    E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\natural selection 2>Server.exe -ma
    p ns2_tram -limit 8 -lan 0 -name "Dedicated to TNA" -ip 75.111.142.21


    That equals <img src="http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/1071/captureti.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />


    Am I missing something???

    try putting -port too?

    all i know i found in readme

    "The server stores its settings in the file: %APPDATA%/Natural Selection 2/server.xml

    If the file does not exist, it will create a default copy the first time it is run.

    The server options can be changed in the file manually, or they can be
    specified individually on the command line (those changes will be saved by default.)

    Optional command line settings are:

    -file [path] (allows you to specify a different configuration file for server settings)
    -name [name] (specifies the server name to be shown in the server browser)
    -map [name] (specifies the map to load)
    -ip [address]
    -port [number] (default is 27015)
    -limit [number]
    -lan [1 or 0, or true/false] (specifies how/if this map shows up in the master server list - default is false)
    -password [optional]
    -save [1 or 0, or true/false] - (specifies whether to save out command line overrides - default is true)

    Examples:

    Server.exe -map ns2_tram -limit 32 -lan false
    Server.exe -file "c:\my servers\config.xml" -map ns2_rockdown -lan true -save false"

    We're noticing you may need the latest DirectX 9 installed. Try running server.exe directly, without any arguments, and you may get an error related to DirectX.

    That's a damn joke, install full blown steam just to run a server? Wow..
  • MisfireMisfire Join Date: 2002-11-03 Member: 5764Members
    Can someone post a screenshot of a server that has been correctly set up, listed and launched WITH players connecting and joining?

    I put my servers up and it goes all fine and it just says Local server started. annnnnnnnd thats it

    I'm sure these problems are going to be resolved, because they <b>have to be resolved</b>. This is alpha, traditionally you wouldn't even get this with another game.

    They need to remove the dx9/physx and steam being running from the servers dependancies (tf2 doesn't require steam to be running), but im sure in time it will be resolved.

    So relax.

    Maybe the dev's never tested running a server for external use? Only lan...?

    But I'm sure people have setup servers... as i've herd people have been playing it for roughly two hours+...

    RE: PhysX, just download it from the internet and install it - you dont need a graphics card to install it.

    Alright, well I just put up another "Bad Skulk" running on port 27020. I can't join them so I have no idea how the connection is or anything. If people want to play around I'll leave these up.

    The first one filled up almost instantly. The second one hasn't had a single person join. Might be that NS2 doesn't look on off ports.

    You'll need steam running before you run server.exe
    Just need a new account for the server, you don't need to use an alpha account.

    Ours took hours to get going. Mrr.

    Has anyone found a work around so we don't have to run steam?
    I like steam on a client machine, but not on servers, even more so when the servers are started up as a service & it can't see steam :(

    I think we're going to be ###### on that one for a while, until there is a proper standalone server released. Personally I'm just going to wait for the linux version before I bother trying to host, tbh.
  • wdfstryfewdfstryfe Join Date: 2009-05-28 Member: 67532Members
    I'm with you.. I don't have a linux machine but still a true dedicated server would helps things dramatically.
  • RothgarRothgar Join Date: 2009-11-13 Member: 69372Members
    Yeah the server freezes every hour or so at the moment anyway. It doesn't crash meaning tools like ServerDoc do not restart it.

    At the moment I am running the physX and DirectX and Steam on my server just so I can provide some feedback and bugs to UWE.

    I agree though final product definitely needs to be separate dedicated server files with better configuration details and no Steam/PhysX/DirectX reliance.
