How to have server show up on client list

[SC/JG Matoni]

~S,

Mine just turned up in the server list by itself... no idea why/how...

[wildwillie]

What about the confs.ini file, does anyone see something out of the ordinary here ?

[NET]
serverName=Warbirds Of Prey - Spits vs 109s
serverDescription=Cliffs of Dover - Full Real Server
speed=100000
localPort=27016
maxPlayers=16
serverInfo1=Welcome to Warbirds of Prey Servers
serverInfo2= Cliffs of Dover Test Server
serverInfo3=  Currently in Beta Testing
serverInfo4=Teamspeak 3 at 69.90.34.220 port 9987
VAC=1

Wildwillie, Remember with the old FBD2 and my old FBD2 guide(parked at Greatergreen), port 20000 used to conflict so we had to use 20003 and IPS needs an address and is the IP of host server then port forwarding from router to the IPS address.

IP=20003
IPS=***.***.***.***

Smokeynz -

I had overlooked that, thanks.

I am still unsuccessful on getting the server to show.

I've modified the confs.ini to have:

IP=20051
IPS=69.90.34.220

and it still does not work. (I tested that port/IP with IL2 4.10.1m and it worked so I know the port was working)

I've turned the firewall completely off to see if that was causing the issue, but that did not work as it still does not want to broadcast the server info.

Test if your IP is visible from the Internet. There are special services for this I believe. I was not visible from the net till I was behind provider's router and had only "internal IP" within provider network. You may wish to call your provider to check if you have "real external" IP.

[wildwillie]

Ataros -

Yes the server is visible to the Net.

We already host 3 IL-2 servers (Spits vs 109s, Spits vs 109s Mods, & Zekes vs WildCats)along with TS2 & TS3.

Willie,

servers IP needs to go here
C:\Users\LeadFarmer\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\confs

[wildwillie]

Thats where I put it LeadFarmer.

I actually updated both confs.ini files to be the same.


IP=20051 (I've also tried the default 27015 port)
IPS=69.90.34.220


I can direct connect to the server without any problem. Steam just does not seem to be able to get the info it needs to populate the clients.

Is anyone else running the CloD Dedicated server on a Win 2008 Server OS (64bit) ?

The firewall is enabled with inbound/outbound rules for steam.exe and launcher.exe to pass data through any port.

Can anyone post their confs.ini file so I can compare ?

wildwillie,

Just noticed this. You're problem is in your serverDescription=Cliffs of Dover - Full Real Server

That line shows steam what "game" you are running, and by changing that line your server is not going to show up as it thinks you are running a different game.

Use serverDescription=IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover
