[GUIDE]Setting up a server easily on Windows

[Carrotstick]

I cannot port forward using my Default Gateway

[XFrostByteX]

I got my port forwarded, but still can't get it up and running

I use AVG 2012, and can't find the spot to allow the port through my firewall, if that's the case.

[PXYC]

Try letting it through Windows firewall by creating a rule. See what happens if you turn AVG off completely temporarily, just to see if that's the problem.

[XFrostByteX]

I added a port rule, which did not working

Completely turning off windows firewall didn't work either, nor turning off AVG.

The port from my router is allowed too. This is very irritating...

[PXYC]

Hm, yeah, pyspades can be like that. If you turn both of them off (AVG and Firewall) and then run the server. Just wait for a while, it should connect eventually if you forwarded the port correctly.

[XFrostByteX]

I am using vanilla, actually

also, I'm noticing at the end of server links, theres :32887, is that what I'm doing wrong?

[PXYC]

No, that's just the port that the server is hosted on. It's 32887 by default.

[XFrostByteX]

Ahh, well I guess this is a case of trial and error for now

Can't figure out what to put in the highlighted box:

[colorpinpoint]

The ipadress of your computer. go to start menu search cmd and type ipconfig now the line that says ip adress is the one you put there.

[XFrostByteX]

Actually, I got the same problem. Go to ipconfig, and copy the ipv4 number. THATS what you use

Also, how do I host a map in arena mode for pyspades (which likes to work for me, unlike vanilla servers...)

[FaZe]

Oh lol, just realized that it wasn't my fault after all. I get a "unable to retrieve IP address error" after port-forwarding and running the server, which is the same error I get when I try to sign into PSN. Guess it's my internet 0_0

@frost
Read the top of this script. https://github.com/matpow2/pyspades-use ... r/arena.py

[XFrostByteX]

FaZe, are you running a vanilla or a pyspades server. Cause I get the same thing if I run Vanilla. However pyspades works fine for me

[RambroGaming]

Hey is it alright if i rewrite this to the N00B language :D cause some people are confused.
