<div class="IPBDescription">gamespy... all seeing eye...</div> I've been running a server for 3 days now and I noticed I haven't been listed on gamespy's arcade server list. Is there a way to send a heartbeat to thier servers? Am I missing something in my configs? Any information on how to add a server to thier list would be very helpful.
Thanx <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->

    After looking for 6 hours on the net, I found a way to add my server to gamespy. And here's how:

    First I went to "C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\ns\server.cfg" and scrolled down to:

    // maximum client movement speed (needed for commander mode)
    sv_maxspeed 4000
    sv_maxspectatorspeed 1000
    sv_cheats 0
    sv_allowdownloads 1
    sv_lan 0 <---------------------- and noticed this! It was set to "1". Make sure this is set to "0".

    Then I tried running my server and again I wasn't listed. So I looked up some variables for the HL server and found this command - "setmaster".

    "Setmaster" has the option to add another master to server so you can heartbeat to it.

    I searched for the gamespy master server - <a href='http://www.gamespy3d.com/using/servers.shtml' target='_blank'>http://www.gamespy3d.com/using/servers.shtml</a>
    and with my server running, I typed "setmaster add master0.gamespy.com". The server responded, stating it was added.

    If you type "setmaster", you'll see a list of the master servers it heartbeats to.

    Then I ran Gamespy arcade and found that my server was listed! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Thought I would type this lil help guide for any other future issues about not getting listed to a game browser. Thanks to anyone who tried to help me! See ya in NS!

    I seem to be having trouble getting my DS listed on the game browser built into half life (won.net.) Anyone had a similar problem? Fix? Clues? Ideas?

    ///Edit/// I'm starting to think it's a network problem. My half life server is my router...any special ports I should unblock? (I have opened 6002, 7003, and 27015.) I'll add the gamespy master and get some players from there.

    setmaster add master0.gamespy.com
    Works here by why does NS need it when no other mods seem to?

    You can also try the console command heartbeat:

    rcon heartbeat
