#11262: Server

by JackOfSpades on 09/05/2008 21:37

Hey, how I can launch a server?
All what I've done till now is to Set up a Apache Server, but when I try to start a Sauer server, it sez that the server does not response to ping and i should check my firewall settings, but i opened already the port for Sauer. I'm able to start a LAN-Server, but I have no idea, what I could do any more for the Internet Server to launch!
HELP!

#11265: setting up lan game on macs

by aka_hn on 09/06/2008 08:05

Hey all,

probably a pretty stupid question... but

to set up a lan game between me and my mate (both on macs) it says to open up server.bat, but the closest thing I have is servers.cfg... Is this what I should be opening, and in what program should I use?

Obviously I'm pretty newbie, so if any1 could just briefly go through the process of lan game setip or point me toward another thread that does so that\'d be swell.

If your on the same local net here's what I used to do.

- run the server on one of the machines.
- then on both you can connect using to lan connect under the multiplayer option.

You should not need to change any config options. I only did this on windows but I'm sure it's the same for Macs.

#11267: my new comp dont run sauer!

by Kaomet on 09/07/2008 00:19

I used to play sauerbraten with a legacy computer (winXP, amd 1600+, geforce3 ti 500, 512 MB). Now, I can't run it on a intel core2 duo t9300, with a geforce 8600M GT and 3 GB DDR2, and windows XP sp3...
It says that the configuration of sauerbraten is incorrect...

Try removing Sauerbraten and reinstalling the CTF edition.

Also drivers.

Hmm... referring to a system like that as "legacy" makes me feel old... and I'm 17! I barely even consider the huge stack of Pentium 1 machines we have in my computer tech class "legacy". :P

#11270: I can\'t get the game to run fast enough

by J The Twiztid on 09/07/2008 06:34

Hi yall. I have a problem. I can\'t seem to get the game running fast enough to work with. I thin k the problem might be my gaphics cards, but I am not entirely sure. I have an 8800gt in my computer. Is there some way to get the game running faster. When I started it up, it was running at 1 fps. If anyone could help me figure out how to work this out, that would be great. thx

#11271: Re: Drivers

by J The Twiztid on 09/07/2008 07:45, refers to #11271

Yeah. I tried Updating the driver, if that\'s what you mean, for the linux OS, but for some reason when I try to install it, it gives me an error.

gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.
Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
Select a character coding from the menu and try again.

This popped up when I tried to run the driver update for linux. Also, when I try to boot it in the terminal, it gives me this error: Error: Nvidia installer must be run as root. I am going to be truthful, I have no clue what that means.

Error opening log file \'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log\' for writing (Permission denied); disabling logging.

Sorry if I sound like a really big noob or something. I am really new to this stuff and linux.

The drivers work for windows , but Linux is another story. I am trying to figure out some of this. It's completely foreign to me right now. They have the driver, but the driver file doesn't like me very much.

If you're on Ubuntu the simplest way is to use the Restricted Drivers Manager to install them for you: http://www.michaellarabel.com/index.php?k=blog&i=114

That's only a guess since you didn't provide that important info. Otherwise it's more complicated:
Get to a terminal with Ctrl Alt F2 (Ctrl-Alt-F7 would bring you back to your GUI)

Log in and type:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

Then:
chmod +x ./WhateverTheNameOfTheNvidiaDriverIs.run

To finally install:
sudo sh ./WhateverTheNameOfTheNvidiaDriverIs.run

After it's complete you can start Xserver again with:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

You might have to adjust the path, though. The above would run it from whatever directory you start in after logging in which should be your home directory. The run file might be on your desktop so it would be:
~/Desktop/WhateverTheNameOfTheNvidiaDriverIs.run

Or:
/home/your-username/Desktop/WhateverTheNameOfTheNvidiaDriverIs.run

Yes, actually, I am running Ubuntu. Sorry about not mentioning that. I looked through the info you sent, but I could not find the restricted Drivers option. Do you need to get that from the synaptic package management? That, and it is also for 7.04. Is there any difference between 7.04 and th latest one?

#11276: Re: ..

Actually installing drivers on Ubuntu is easier than Windows. On Windows you have to go online for the installer and on Ubuntu you get a prompt after installation and' you've just got to check a box.

Yeah, there is apparently a difference in the menus.

I already tried to remove sauer then re install ctf edition, before and after I changed my GPU driver.
I also tried to run my computer on a single core, the problem persist.

By the way, legacy is the term nvidia use for all their products before the geforce 4 series.

#11280: Re: Serverlist

by a~baby~rabbit on 09/09/2008 07:54, refers to #11158

With regards to not all servers showing in the serverlist...

In my case it seems the issue was that my d-link router does something wacky to wifi connections, like throttling UDP connection rates (i.e. a rather enthusiastic interpretation of UDP being lossy). Plugging directly into the router via ethernet eliminated the problem.

Unfortunately I don't have any non-Mac wifi gear to 100% eliminate the chance that the issue is related to Mac.

#11281: Re: Serverlist

by Quin on 09/10/2008 06:32, refers to #11280

This is actually quite common, especially in BitTorrent communities. Alot of the time it has to do with overloading the NAT tables, as those routers have few resources (alot like the D-Link run Linux/BusyBox). You'd probably also find that Windows XP SP2 and later systems do the same thing when they hit 128 concurrent connection attempts - there just aren't that many active servers.
