Title: Creating a server. [RESOLVED]
Post by: Engineer Sam on August 14, 2015, 07:37:49 PM
Me and my friend are trying to play on a rpg_voy4 map. but all the maps under Search for Server always send me back to the Main Menu before I connect, almost like they crash. There is no error code or anything. But when I connect to a server with the Poseidon map, it loads up just fine. (I am using RPG-X Ultimate and he is using Standard. We both downloaded it from here: http://www.last-outpost.net/filesdb/?file=70 (http://www.last-outpost.net/filesdb/?file=70)


Also, if there is any way for us to make a server ourselves, please tell us. If it is complex, don't worry about it. All we want to do is play rpg_voy4.

Please help!

Hi Sam,

Please read this sticky (http://www.last-outpost.net/forum/index.php/topic,5446.0.html) from the top of the engineering forum to figure out how to get us an error. Once you find that, we can go from there.  ;)

Oh sorry! I didn't see that! Thanks. I will read that and report back to you!

Ok, after reading the link you sent to me, this was the error code in yellow.
WARNING: Bad shader file scripts/voy_eng.shader had incorrect syntax.
I hope this is what you need to diagnose my problem? :)

WARNINGS are usually issues that the game can move forward with. Try connecting to our server and change the map to rpg_voy4 if you need to. If you get thrown back to the main menu, immediately open the console and find your error as directed in that sticky. It should be between two rows of asterisks; you really can't miss it.

Ok, here is what I got, thanks for being so kind while I rely on you to help! It says:

ERROR: Client/Server game mismatch: RPG-X vRPG-X V 2.3.4b/RPG-X vRPG-X V 2.3 BETA 2

o_o that's an odd one. Are you sure you installed RPG-XUE?

Could you go to the game's main menu, take a look at the bottom right of the screen and tell me what the version number is? It should be right under the "player settings" and "player model" buttons.

To answer your other question. To host your own server you can just start RPG-X, click "Online Roleplay" in the main menu and then "Create Server". If you want other people to join your sever, make sure the following ports have been forwarded in your router:

UDP Ports
26000, 27500, 27910, 27960

This hosting is non-dedicated, i.e. there always needs to be someone who is playing the game for others to join. If you want to host a dedicated server like TLO does (a process running on a server pc somewhere with no players having to be online for the server to be on) you will need Linux I think. I' not 100% sure of that since I never hosted a dedicated server myself. I think Serris will know more about this (event hough I am the head of technical XD but I didn't set up our server configs).

Oh my god! Ok, I have both editions, (Standard and Ultimate.) I was using the Standard one. But, the problem is still there. here is my message, sorry about the mix up.

Yes. I have tried both. The Poseidon-B map ran like a charm. But when loading up the rpg_voy4 map, it kept crashing.

Connect to the TLO server and change the map to rpg_voy4. Then do what you did before to get the error for us. The error from before can't be ruight since, if you had a client/server mismatch, you wouldn't be able to connect in the first place.

I went onto Teriyaki and switched it to rpg_voy4. I loaded up fine. I am starting to think that the issue isn't with the server, but with my lack of knowledge for RPG-X. Nevertheless, I saw no error code, but I still can't join any other rig_voy4 dedicated map.

Other servers may be running different versions of rpgx. We only guarantee the ability to connect to our servers. Since we are the only really active English speaking group, you should be fine with us.

Ok.
