ahh man i've been trying to do this since 4 pm now its 1:30 am and i have school tomorrow. So can someone please post a video tutorial show us how to do it all properly and how to set a server up. Im begging you.

I keep getting WSAECONNRESET when I try my IP address, but works fine when I try my LAN IP address. We just tried opening up the 19800 port on our router, but still no luck. What else could be stopping this from working?

Are you behind NAT? You might have to forward port 19800 to your lan address in that case, since the external IP address is your router's address.

Ps. For everyone: http://www.whatismyip.com/ to know your ip.

Can also use ipconfig in the cmd, the default gateway is your ip. But I get a different ip from ipconfig than whatismyip.com. BUT I can access my network settings (put your ip number in your internet browser) using the ip I got from ip config (unless the default gateway is different from the regular ip...).

As far as forwarding ports, what should you forward them to? I've done it for mcm2 and Hamachi, I just don't know what ports I should forward for this.

Still having trouble getting the admin commands to work. I've added "--password (mypassword)" in my serverargs.txt file, as well as added it to my mxserver command line, as well as added it to my mx.exe command line.....

Nothing is working.... any ideas?

[jlv]

Yzmxer, you want to forward 19800 to the computer running the server.

Shack, make sure you've killed any mxservers that are already running.

If your password is good, you should see something like this on the console:

Code: Select all

AF_INET 127.0.0.1:33011 Sending session id 8247372d to slot 9 (password)
slot 9 identified (Vanderhoof) uid=1
Sending client info to slot 9 (gate 9)
Slot 9 (Vanderhoof) Key Verified
Slot 9 is ready

If it's bad, it will look like this:

Code: Select all

AF_INET 127.0.0.1:33011 Sending session id f1fc15fb to slot 10 (password)
slot 10 (Vanderhoof) sent invalid password
Slot 10 (Vanderhoof) disconnected

If your client doesn't have a password set, it will look like this:

Code: Select all

AF_INET 127.0.0.1:33011 Sending session id 792ba37c to slot 9 (normal)
slot 9 identified (Vanderhoof) uid=1
Sending client info to slot 9 (gate 9)
Slot 9 (Vanderhoof) Key Verified
Slot 9 is ready

Meh, I'll try again on Saturday, I think it has something to do with severely capped speed. I tested for open ports on a website, didn't even say 80 was open, and thats always open because of the net.

i keep getting:

WSAECONNRESET
Contacting server

Contacting server

My number thing is 124.180.207.191:19828
and my fire wall has been off and on.

I dont know what else to do

[DJ99X]

Are you on a network with other people? Then read what JLV said in the above posts.

First step you should do though, is see if you can connect with you LAN IP address. Run cmd, and type ipconfig, and use that IP address to log onto multiplayer. BTW, its not necessary to run a different port. Just use 19800, as it should already be open.

[Mikey]

well i fixed up my IP.

But in my serverargs.txt my Password is just "527527". im not sure what else to do. do you want to see my folder again?

*EDIT*
serverargs.txt contains
--port 192.160.0.10:19828
--max-clients 15
--password 527527
--greeting "You are playing in Mikeys sick as super awsome server"
--ban-file bans.txt
--results-file results.txt
--track-interval 15
--laps 5
Anaheim.trackinfo
mxon.trackinfo
objects.trackinfo
oldgoldberry.trackinfo
smithtown.trackinfo
WFOMX.trackinfo

Get rid of your IP address from the port arg. In fact, just get rid of the port arg altogether, so it is just 19800.

[Mikey]

ok ill try that.
Ummm dose it matter that i created a new folder called mxserver on my desktop but put all the files into that that i need? will the make in not work?

[DJ99X]

It doesn't matter where it is run from. As long as every file is in the same file, no subfolders

[Mikey]

na that 19800 didnt work...

Here what i have in the folder:
Anaheim.trackinfo
excrementlist
mxon.trackinfo
mxserver
objects.trackinfo
oldgoldberry.trackinfo
serverargs
serverresults
smithtown.trackinfo
tracks
WFOMX.trackinfo

Thank's JLV but where to enter my password in the game ?

[DJ99X]

Put in
--password xxxxxx
as you would with --editor

Thats only if you are server admin
