Title: Servers...
Post by: Fuzzy168 on November 28, 2011, 02:17:41 pm

So I want to know. Because I open my server and I can see it in the internet list. (My new internet) The same thing happen when I first open a server. (My old internet. I am using it now..) Which was way back before I had lots of problem. My question: If I open the vcmp-svr.exe, will my server be automatic in the internet list?

you have to leave your vcmp-svr.exe open then you keep pressing the announce.exe i think ten times(but nothing will appear)  then you open you vcmp client and wait for you server to appear with the name of the server you typed in the vcmp.cfg...hope this helped yuo....

lol no, just open up your server and it will pop up in the internet list soon.

Now that explains why Host just have to open vcmp-svr.exe... I thought there is somekind of program that is needed to open the client together..

Isn't that risky? Especially if Pawn server. My router can't be disconnected, Idk why.. maybe having somekind of software that will let me upload the files to it then make some kind of file to start it? I found the software I am going to use. Sort of. No-IP? Is it possible that I use No-IP to upload files to it?

A server hosted on

Quote my pc on all day but off at night

is never respectable.

Servers that are up 24/7 are available to people who live in any part of the world, whereas doing something like that effectively screws over the other half of the world.

Ok.. Let's say my router is on 24/7(Unless electric cutdown ofcourse). The only way to shut it down is by switching off the main plug afaik. If there is a software that allows me to access my DNS or anyother IP, upload my script and the software(not yet found or try to develop one yet), it should be on 24/7. Plus, I'm only 13 this year. Still in school. I can't afford to buy a host. So that's why I'm finding one. Sources are very limited.

There is also a Risk of High Pings .Due to Windows host and Slow Internet.well i might try to find a host for mah server soon!

So if I want to port forward, the IP address should be internal or external??

Title: Re: Servers...

Have you ever seen a search button in this forum?
You will find tons of topic related to port forwarding that has been already discussed.

Get a server hosting from a provider and home/self hosting is not a good idea.

Title: Re: Servers...
Post by: Fuzzy168 on December 10, 2011, 07:56:17 am

I just don't know which one to portforward? I used the search button and done everything on the guide. Tried both internal and external but external ip doesn't work. It always says, retrieving info..

Title: Re: Servers...
Post by: StriKe on December 10, 2011, 12:15:38 pm

You shouldn't add your external IP to the browser and most probably you wouldn't find your server in the internet list by yourself.
Give your IP to your friends to check it out or post your server name here..
There was a site to find if the server was listed or not but couldn't find it.

Add your Local/Internal IP to your favourites in the browser to play if the server is hosted on your pc.

thanks for the link now i don't have to wait for my server to load for 1 min   

Title: Re: Servers...
Post by: Fuzzy168 on December 12, 2011, 07:36:49 am

If I want for my own, I will add localhost or my internal ip. That's the only way if I want to play server. No others can see. Tried with the link and asked people to check for me. I tried adding my external ip but always won't work. That what I am trying to say.
