How to make a dedicated server?

When I had a ps3, I was able to host multiple servers with ease because my connection is really strong.

Just wondering, how can I host my own dedicated server? As well as know what the ip of the server is so ppl can go on it?

You should be able to run the server from your ut install. If you are going to do that though, I'd suggest you patch to v451 as it contains various serverside fixes.

Thr batch command I will post once I get home. It's too much to type on iPhone! Also to find your IP it depends on how your router is setup. Do you know if E.g. 192.168.1.1 will give 82.81.7.5 however 192.168.1.2 will give 82.81.7.6?

If not then your IP from your browser (www.whatismyip.com) wil be the server IP. Make sure you port forward 7777 and 7778 (default ports)

anyway when I get home I will post the server start script.

Cool. I'll await your post. Thanks.

make it zero ping mattie

You need to cmd

/yoursystempathtout/System/ucc-bin server CTF-xxx?game=Botpack.CTFGame?Mutator=yourmutator.mutator ini=/utpath/System/your.ini -multihome=yourip port=7777 --nohomedir

ah btw shiva i tried ur server combogib , i had no sense of high ping or lag or anything ! very nice server i expect to see more and more maps there

shiva, how about you give me a tutorial of what to do, like from the beginning.

Mc, how do you connect to the Internet? Do you have access to the device that provides the connection, or is the neighbourly arrangement still in place?

I have wireless. I turn on computer, computer checks for my connection, auto connects. I have a router.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Did you have to set anything up (router configuration) when you hosted games on your PS3? Maybe there was some clever UPnP stuff going on if it all worked automatically.
I expect you'll have to configure some static routes to get UT working though - happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

Otherwise, I can only suggest having a look through the router list at port-forward for instructions - you have to tell the router to pass on incoming connections to your PC (where the UT server is *actually* hosted) otherwise they'll just fail when they get to the router:

...setting up the server is a separate exercise!

Lol, I tried setting this up MC.

Good luck!

Keep in mind that if your having too much trouble, just buy a server, they are just 10 USD a month.

Alright lets try this.

I tried hosting a server and it doesn't show up on main UT browser. Any ideas?

Check this site for port forwarding: http://portforward.com/
Master Server list: http://gaming.dslreports.com/utmaster/
Server setup guide: http://hermskii.com/Files/Hermskii%27s_UT_Manual.zip

That's all you need. Good luck

Did you select the Advertise button in the server tab?

BTW, LOL i used my touchscreen for the paint

Mc, it is a long damn tutorial to type to be honest lol

It is more a trial and error!

I will start by giving you the default ports you will need to forward to even get your server on the master server list.

You will also need to configure ur UT.ini with the relevant actors and packages you require. I suggest you mutate mapvote in the server cmd start up line.

Code:

# Allow incoming TCP ports
TCP_IN = "7777,7778,7779,9777,27900,10000,51234"

# Allow outgoing TCP ports
TCP_OUT = "7777,7778,7779,9777,27900,10000,51234"

# Allow incoming UDP ports
UDP_IN = "7777,7778,7779,9777,27900,10000,51234"

# Allow outgoing UDP ports
UDP_OUT = "7777,7778,7779,9777,27900,10000,51234

You also need

ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=unreal.epicgames.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master1.multiplay.co.uk MasterServerPort=27900

Thats great I know most American servers are laggy but mine are different

As for maps, I am open to suggestions!

ND where we spent most of our times only had people voting for bleak, liandridocks and nalitown... almost nothing else so we lack of ideas for maps suggestions...

Also gotta be sure they're good combogib maps... nothing like gauntlet where there's some possible noob campers combo-ing the entrance (as there's only one entrance to the base). Especially three campers combo-ing the entrance... (Happened to ND long ago) but hopefully strange that Multiplay 7 never had such thing happening to their gauntlet map...

Clanbase maps?

We'll try some here and there as we go along. I think for now we have a nice set of maps?

I would really like Rob's version of player pings :/ I honestly have mixed feelings about my one, since people see OMG 100000 slots server, OMG 24 people! Must get in there fast!! Then its empty....
