cant play the game

[brethonem]

hi guys, my problem is i can't run (most probably not even join) any server. it just kiks me back to menu when i'm creating the game.
i just want to play ms:c alone or with friend over the lan but it allways says this:
LAN servers are restricted to local clients (class C)

i have tried to switch sv_lan to both, 1 and 0...
my cs 1.6 and hl are working ok
im allways offline when creating the game...

i had ms:c 1.1 installed before and it worked but had to reinstall hl
please help...ms:c is great

I've never hit this problem before, I can only say to try running it while online. Try and see if you can join regular servers too.

well, i cant, i have *GPRS f***** slow internet conection and i cant play any games online...sometimes not even run messager....

....you cant imagine what is it like download 300 megs not working mod with this.... :? :?

Well, to be honest, chances of you enjoying the game by yourself aren't that great. It gets exponentially more difficult the less players you have, as Thothie hasn't optimized it for single player... Yet.

I remember I had the problem where I would try to start a server and it would just send me back to the title screen. Let me look around and see how I fixed that.

EDIT: Well, I found what was wrong with myself: I deleted the Metamod folder in my MSC/addons folder. So, I don't know how that'd work for you, unless you did the same...

Also, are you starting the server on Edana, and now <random map>?

i know, but i would play on lan with room mate mostly...

Huh, would you look at that. I just checked, and there's no metamod any more. I honestly can't say what is wrong... Have you tried reinstalling (after backing up your characters)?

 

[brethonem]

yeah, i have tried (so it isnt trYed? ) to reinstall everything, hl and ms, each time to new directory...
and i have never seen metamod..

 

[CrazyMonkeyDude]

Metamod used to be in the pre-release beta, as it was used for its voting functions. Now that it's all in the game, metamod (and AMX) are no longer needed, as well as illegal(If it isn't right now, it will be soon).

And yes, it's tried. English isn't your first language?

 

[Thothie]

I should point out your sv_lan has to be in your listenserver.cfg, and you cannot change the value without shutting down and restarting half-life. Beyond this, I've no clue waddup.

no, i'm not even sure what does 'first lenguage means...im from slovakia and studing primarly spanish and secundarly english

anyway..thanks again..i wish you luck with ms:s

 

[CrazyMonkeyDude]

First language means the language you learned first, generally from the area you were born. This further proves my point, not that I'm being mean to you or anything; just curious.

And it's Thothie. T-h-o-t-h-i-e. I don't understand how people can misspell a name they can look at. >_>


Anywho, happy gaming!

[Thothie]

Tis okay, I get mistook for Thorthie all the time - he's more blonde and beefy though. I'm the skinny brown haired one with the huge schnoz.

'sides, if I had a nickle for everytime I typed "Dridge" some place where I had Dridje's name at hand, I could buy yet another Half-Life account.
