sv_master?

Post by v1l3 »

I'm normally used to setting sv_master1 "master3.idsoftware.com" & sv_master2 "master0.gamespy.com". What do I set those to for a server to show up on ASE & Game Scanner. I've looked around but I haven't been able to figure out how to pull it off..as I'm probably looking in the wrong places. =/

-thx

set sv_master5 "clanservers.net"

I currently have one set sv_master1 "master3.idsoftware.com" in my server.cfg file. Can someone post available master servers?

Thanks ^misantropia^,

I was scanning for my server and it only shows up after the server scan hits 1,000+ server :( I thought that by adding more master servers it would show up faster in the list.

Hello.
I have a similar problem: my server is not listed in master3.idsoftware.com.

Master servers:
set sv_master1 "master3.idsoftware.com"
set sv_master2 "master0.excessiveplus.net"
set sv_master3 "master0.gamespy.com: 28900"
set sv_master4 "master.qtracker.com: 27900"

Setting "set dedicated 2" is enabled.

Requests are sent to the master:
"Resolving master3.idsoftware.com
master3.idsoftware.com resolved to 192.246.40.56:27950
Sending heartbeat to master3.idsoftware.com "

But even after waiting, I do not see my address in quake3 browser. Address is not in the direct receipt of the list of master3.idsoftware.com.

How to solve the problem? :(

Not 100% sure but I haven't been able to ping or nmap master3.idsoftware.com in a long time so it's probably dead.

You'll have to check that your server is reachable from the outside world: most master servers check if they can connect to you on UDP port 27960 (or whatever port your server is listening on).

And last but not least, it sometimes takes an hour for a new server to show up on the tracker listings.

PS: You might want to post your server config - there could be a bug in it, of course.

master3.idsoftware.com not ping, but it works. Quake3 client sends the request and receives a list of IP. Domains master3.idsoftware.com, monster.idsoftware.com, master.quake3arena.com point to one IP: 192.246.40.56.
As seen from the image, the client UDP protocol requests a list of exactly this master. Then master gives a list of IP:port. After client accesses the address.

My configuration files: http://pastebin.com/mMZCrGfV

//Added later:
Eventually I found my IP in the list from master. He was at the end of the second response. But sometimes it's not there, 50/50.

Now I see another problem: master gives my IP with the wrong port (15807 instead of 27960). Port 15807 I have never pointed out. Why him? How do I fix it?

Hah, I'll be darned.

Your config looks solid. If you have a machine with more than one (active) network interface, you might want to set net_ip to the address you want the server to listen on. Some trackers penalize servers that are reachable on more than one IP address.

Re port number: that's possibly your ISP or your home router remapping the port on the fly.

net_ip set. Server is now on the list permanently. But port is invalid :(

Yes, connection through a router. On router to IP of local server with quake3 done PortForwarding 27960...27970. Nobody knows what does a router and that is sent from it.

Can I send master server port my server by force? For example, how to send data on the game protocol (mode)...

Here's my config for reporting to the masters servers
// Master Servers reported to - 27950 is the default port
// Up to 5 master servers are being reported to
// set sv_master# "monster.idsoftware.com" // backup for ID
// set sv_master# "gameaholic.com"
// set sv_master# "master.kali.net"
// set sv_master# "q3master.barrysworld.com" //UK
// set sv_master# "masterserver.exhale.de" // Germany
set sv_master1 "master3.idsoftware.com" //built in
set sv_master2 "master.qtracker.com"
set sv_master3 "master0.gamespy.com"
set sv_master4 "master.quake3arena.com"
set sv_master5 "clanservers.net"
You'll notice that you can only report up to 5 master servers maximum. When you start your Quake 3 server check at the end of the starting log for, you should see the sending heartbeat. Also take note that some server's refresh time of their list is not right away, you have to wait.
