<div class="IPBDescription">Trying to start a server on my own PC</div>Hello guys,

I followed <!--coloro:#FFA500--><span style="color:#FFA500"><!--/coloro-->oldassgamers's video tutorial<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->, but when I start the '<!--coloro:#FFA500--><span style="color:#FFA500"><!--/coloro-->Server.exe<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->' it stops (pic below).
Saw this Error on other videos too. But it still started for them.

Hope it's still possible. I didn't buy a rental server, it's just my own PC.
Thank you for you help.

i7-2600K @3.4GHz
16GB RAM
GTX 580

    How do you know it has stopped? It looks normal. Can't you connect?

    Press tab and bring up the console and issue the sv_changemap <level> command and it should work.

    Thanks for the reply, Vitdom.

    It's not on the server list.

    And I'm missing those login lines here from <!--coloro:#FFA500--><span style="color:#FFA500"><!--/coloro-->oldassgamers<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->.

    Start the server.exe from within a .bat file with the start options you want defined in there. I have found calling server.exe from outside a .bat file does not work too well.

    Example: instead of calling server.exe call start.bat with contents like:
    <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->Server.exe -name "Test" -map ns2_refinery -limit 16 -webadmin -config_path D:\game_servers\Current_Servers\ns2\cfg<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

    The server process will run within that so you can still use a keep alive script with this launch method.

    Okay, let me try that right now.

    That's what I did. Is that right?

    <!--coloro:#FFA500--><span style="color:#FFA500"><!--/coloro-->Still no "Test" server on the Server List.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

    What I tried next is to "START SERVER" from NS2 inside and it gave me a "client and server differ" so I disabled all mods and made it in at least.

    :edit: Ok, something IS actually starting, but not with the right name. It's the name from the ingame "START SERVER".

    <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->@echo off

    cd D:\NS2Server1
    C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C start /high Server.exe -name "Team156.com | Seattle #1 | 4.6Ghz, Customs, NS2Stats" -config_path "D:\Config1" -map ns2_summit -limit 20 -ip 192.168.0.192 -port 27015 -modstorage "D:\Workshop"<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

    Here's the batch file for one of my servers. You don't necessarily need to specify the ip and port explicitly (e.g. it will default to your standard IP and port 27015), but its nice to do and a necessity if your doing more than one server instance. Also, note that the parameters you pass to Server.exe need to be on the same line.

    If the server isn't showing up on the server browser (or is only showing up with (LAN) attached to the name), then its likely that the necessary ports are not open. You'll need to foward the ports 27015-27016 (or the port and port+1 you specify in the batch file) for your router. Easiest way to do this is to follow the instructions <a href="http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/" target="_blank">here</a>, where you choose your Router and then Steam (just change the steam ports to the 27015-27016).

    I think that it does not like that he is using separated lines in the bat. It should all be in one line just like how it looks on the code I copied above.

    Reekah, I went through h e double ell trying to get my server online. We finally determined it was my Belkin wireless router - it wouldn't allow me to open the necessary ports.

    Thanks.
    The parameters are in one line now, and it works for the name, map, limit, but it's still <!--coloro:#FFA500--><span style="color:#FFA500"><!--/coloro-->(LAN)<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->.
    And freaking a lot of Errors.

    <img src="http://i.imgur.com/W5edx.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />

    I guess I need to work on the ports now.

    <img src="http://i.imgur.com/m6iuR.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

    It's in german, sorry for that. <!--coloro:#008000--><span style="color:#008000"><!--/coloro-->Fritz!Box 7270<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->.
    Still needs something more /different.

    Hey <!--coloro:#FFA500--><span style="color:#FFA500"><!--/coloro-->oldassgamers<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->, I'm gonna add you in ~10h. Need to nap :) Thanks for the help.
    I hope not <!--coloro:#FFA500--><span style="color:#FFA500"><!--/coloro-->Depot <!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->:) Keep faith.

    I run servers from behind a router (the Team156 Seattle servers) and that (LAN) indicator is normal if your trying to connect from a client behind the same router. If running properly, the server should actually show up twice on your server list (from the client behind the same router) with one of the names have (LAN) attached to it.

    Also, those errors and other text are normal and shouldn't impact your server in any way.

    Correct, you should see it multiple times if your trying to test from inside the network. Try to connect to it via your external ip to verify that outside connections work. As always you can type connect localhost to preform quick system checks on your server or to test configuration changes quickly from the same machine.

    Nice. Seems to work now. <!--coloro:#FFA500--><span style="color:#FFA500"><!--/coloro-->oldassgamers<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> changed the TCP to 27000-27020 and it magically worked ;)
    Thanks guys!

    <!--coloro:#FFA500--><span style="color:#FFA500"><!--/coloro-->And it's really only working with the .bat.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
