Dedicated server not showing up in Lobby Server.

[pete5990]

People can connect to it if I give them the IP address, but that's just not convenient. Here's a quick server log:

Welcome to Soldat 1.3.1

The soldat connection tester from the sticky topic gives me these results:

When it does the Join Game test, I see the text "72.232.225.66 Requesting game..." come up in the console, but the test still says it failed.

Any ideas? I'm pretty sure all ports are opened on my router.

This is due to bugs in the lobby server code in the server, the client, and the lobby itself.  When I have some more free time, I plan on working with MM and EnEsCe to completely re-write all of the code and forever solve all of these problems.

Until then, there's not much you can do except use /lobby to try and get it in the lobby.  If that works, I'd suggest writing or finding a script you can use (possibly in ARSSE) to have it execute /lobby in the server ever X minutes

edit: I've stickied this so that people can check it when they have the same problem, rather than constantly telling everyone about it.

Code: [Select]

procedure AppOnIdle(Ticks: integer);
begin
  if Ticks mod (3600 * 5) = 0 then Command('/lobby');
end;
Small script to /lobby every 5 minutes.
Replace the 5 if you want a different time interval.

[EnEsCe]

/lobby gets called every 10 minutes, hardcoded into the server.

These problems are all fixed in 1.4.  1.4 has an entirely new lobby coded from the ground up specifically to resolve all lobby problems, both server-side and client-side
