How To Make A Server (or, Using TJW's Server in Windows)

[kdude63]

Why not then? I was told they were.

[Zordos]

Kdude, I have not checked the files you downloaded, but what creature is saying is more than likely true.  I had a great deal of problems myself when I first did it. Also, make certain that you do not have more than one game.qvm/tremded.exe floating around.

[Trenak]

Still me write Awaiting Connection..1-2-3-4-xxx ffs 

[Adambodnar]

I got a problem hosting the server!
When i host it this is what happens:

When i try to connect to it, it says: "The server is using Protocol version 70"

Please can anybody tell me how to fix that?
I want my server to work!!!

[Gunner]

I had that same error too. You either probably need to change your ports or you connected with a wrong ip. Try /connect yourstaticiphere:port#

[Chomps123]

is there a way to start a server online from my computer.

sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

I'm having a very strange problem. What happened is my game.qvm and vms files were just out in base and I could play term just fine but I made a vm folder and put them both in it and now my server runs but my tremulous client won't work. Any suggestions?

yes, my suggestion is for you to tell us whether the client destroys your hard drive, displays green ponies while playing stupid music, or whatever makes makes you believe that the client doesn't work^TM. try ZIPping (PK3ing) the said vm directory to see if that makes the client work^TM.

[Stormerus]

I don't know if this thread is still active or not, but I have done all the steps and I believe my port forwarding is correct (done a similar method for Minecraft and it worked). However whenever I try and connect it says 'Server uses protocol 69' - what does this mean? I saw on some forums it is about some part of it being out of date, but I would like someone to clarify this for me. Thanks!

Edit: After some thought I tested it out on the normal tremulous version and it worked correctly, so how would I get this working for the tremulous gameplay preview? thanks again

i hope this thread is till active.I followed all the steps and got this:

Set servername using sv_hostname otherwise it wont appear on the masterlist. I think it said this somewhere in the changelog about not viewing unnamed servers due to too many unnamed servers...

did you run the server with +set dedicted 2? do you have the proper network port (30720 by default; 32123 in your case, apparently) open to the internet?

[Meow]

sry,i was not free for a few months.I will follow your steps thks.

[ULTRA Random ViruS]

did you run the server with +set dedicted 2?

With

Sending heartbeat to master.tremulous.net

in the log, it's pretty obvious it's set to '2'.
Meow, did you try port forwarding? Getting a static IP? If everything listed here did not work, it is likely you have an ISP does not except serverhosting. My ISP does not allow this at all.

[Meow]

ok bad new,I reinstalled trem,so all the server files are gone,and the links provided at the start of the thread are now broken.
