Problem with my own custom server

[MrSteven]

Hi all,

I run my own custom server, so without the use of Sof2 runner or any other program. I start my server using the dediserv.bat file in my rocmod folder, because my server is a rocmod server . But when I start the server, no one can see it, only I can. I haven't specified an IP adres because i was told that dediserv.bat will define the IP adress itself. Do I have to place my IP adress in one of the cfg files?

Because when I host a simple server with sof2 runner, and i specify my IP adres and port there, (I am behind a router so I opened those ports) everyone can join.

Plz can anyone help me?

Greetzz

Steven

don't use the dedicated bat ....


1)Right Click your multiplayer icon on desktop
2) go to PROPERTIES
3)click shortcut
4) Go to TARGET
>>4a) the line will look like this:
"F:\Program Files\Soldier of Fortune II - Double Helix GOLD\SoF2MP.exe"
or simialr to that but you get the idea i hope.
5) add a space at the end of quotation mark and put this line next to it:
+set fs_game rocmod
>>5a) so now it should look like this:
"F:\Program Files\Soldier of Fortune II - Double Helix GOLD\SoF2MP.exe" +set fs_game rocmod
6) This tells the game that the multiplayer server you are starting will be rocmod. As long as you have rocmod server files in the appropriate folders.
>>6a) rocmod versions 2.0 and up require you to have both server and client file in the folder.
7)from here you must break out your sof2mp.cfg and set the server settings you are looking to have.
8) you can make a server.cfg sample from our server to follow
(copy the cfg and paste it into notepad or text editor and save as the appropriate names):
// This file is automatically executed by SoF2MP.exe (as long as you have written it to do so, see number 10 when you are done with server and roc.cfg's)

10) Get your SOF2mp.cfg: ok so now you have a server.cfg and a roc.cfg, but you have no clue what it is for or how to activate it?
>>10a)Open your sof2mp.cfg by right clicking and using notepad.
>>>10b) If you open it and get code, right click upon the cfg, choose "properties", and click "change". this will bring up choices of programs to use to open it with, choose " notepad" and make sure to check the box " always use the selected program to open this type of file". Click ok after that.
11) now open your sof2mp.cfg ( with me still ? ok )
add at bottom of the sof2mp.cfg:
exec server.cfg
exec sof2_roc.cfg
Your SOF2MP.cfg will have alot of information that looks the same, as was written in your server and roc cfg's. Don't panic, the reason for this is, your cfg's can only hold soo much information before they over flow and won't wriet to the server. MEANING: if you were to write all this information to your sof2mp.cfg it would be over 21k and the server would not read all the information correctly.
12)seta sv_mapcycle "MYMAPCYCLE.cfg"
Now that you have that out of the way, how do you know what maps and how to restrict weapons and such ? You guessed it ...a mapcycle.cfg ( you are soo getting the hang of this lol )
>>12a)mymapcycle.cfg
(copy the cfg and paste it into notepad or text editor and save as the appropriate names)

There is an example of the first two maps and the pattern that the mapcycle uses. You can copy that down in a text editor or notepad, and put on as many maps as you like, Using their pk3 names in the "command map" line, and the actual map name in the " g_motd next map " line.
>>>12b)To enable or disable the weapons you simply have to change the 0's and 1's. 0 means it is enabled, and yes you guessed it, 1 means disabled.
13)DAMAGE MOD, you are on your own here, there are many different damage mods out there and you can choose any one of them....
and even balance it to your own likings. You will notice in global weaponary configuration the weapons that are turned on and off, this will be overwrote by your MYMAPCYCLE.cfg ( so don't worry.)
