I want to make my own server with 1 friend

[Meobenderson]

As the title says, I would like to make a server for myself and one of my friends. It is not LAN, but we live in the same town (if that info helps ) I have really no idea why he can't join my game. When he tries to join my server via friends list (he can't see my game in the games list) it says "Server not responding". I've tried to search everywhere to find out how to create a server (which people can join!) but with no luck. Wiki - nothing, these forums - nothing. Help us please! :O and btw, there's no password on my game

Are you hosting a listen server or a dedicated server (do you click establish kingdom when you start MSC)?
If you're hosting a listen server (in case you ARE clicking establish kingdom) you need to give him your external IP

Also you need to configure your server to via internet.

Again if you're using a listen server, option can be found in the listenserver.cfg in the MSC folder.

Yes i click establish kingdom
How do I configure my server to via internet?

just get hamachi. Google it.

NAO.

 

[Jelly]

Do not listen to him, he writes random cr*p all around this place.

Inside your listenserver.cfg (you can open this with Notepad) you'll find a line saying "sv_lan 1" (by default I think) which you need to set to 0. That's about it.

It's still not working
Using hamachi doesn't work either

 

[Jelly]

Exactly what isn't working? Do you get any error messages?

 

[Meobenderson]

Nope no errors, just "Server is not responding" (that is if we manually type the IP) We've tried with hamachi which doesn't work either :/
Also, we can't see the server

 

[Jelly]

Have you forwarded your ports? http://www.portforward.com

 

[Meobenderson]

That didn't work either

You need to open ports in your firewall, antivirus (if it has the option) and router, or else it might not work properly.

Joining through friends fails. It always seems to say server is not responding. Make sure you have the ports forwarded and he should be able to connect by your external IP. People have already mentioned this but I'm just stressing it.

If all else fails, you may have to put your computer into a DMZ. Worked for Mikkel and a few others.

Ffs, *** *** ****?
- Install hamachi (both of you)
- you create a channel with a name and a password
-give him the channel name and the password
-he joins
-both need to be online
- you make server
-the other guy right-clicks on your name, presses "copy hamachi IP"
- he goes into the MS:C menu and adds it into the favorites (your hamachi IP)

Razor, you of all people should not be insulting others.

 

[Snow Wolf / RaZoR]
