1.0) Starting a server
|

|
|
|
---- -----------------
|
|
|
|
|
- Make sure that you have your firewall of the computer as well as possible
|
|
|
|
|
routers or modems of the server configured such that:
|
|
|
|
|
* port 3979 is free for both UDP and TCP connections in- and outgoing
|
|
|
|
|
* port 3978 is free outbound for UDP in order to advertise with the master
|
|
|
|
|
server (if desired). Otherwise you'll have to tell players your IP.
|
|
|
|
|
* port 3977 if use of the admin interface is desired (see admin_network.txt)
|
|
|
|
|
- Click "multiplayer" on the startup screen
|
|
|
|
|
- Click "start server"
|
|
|
|
|
- Type in a game name

6.0) Troubleshooting

---- ---------------

|

|
|
- My advertising server does not show up in list at servers.openttd.org
|
|
|
|
|
Run openttd with the '-d net=2' parameter, as this will show whether it
|
|
|
|
|
receives replies from the master server. If it does not receive replies it
|
|
|
|
|
is most likely that you need to configure your router to forward ports
|
|
|
|
|
3979 (both TCP and UDP) to the computer that is hosting the game.
|
|
|
|
|
Run openttd with the '-d net=2' parameter. That will show which incoming
|
|
|
|
|
communication is received, whether the replies from the master server or
|
|
|
|
|
communication from an admin tool reach the programme. See section 1
|
|
|
|
|
'Starting a server' further up for the ports and protocols used by OpenTTD.
|
|
|
|
|
The ports can be configured in the config file.
