Topic: Why doesn't my server show up in the server browser anymore?

I made a server config file, forwarded a port on my router and started the TeeWorlds server. Everything was fine for a couple of hours, it was in the server list and I could connect to it, but then I refreshed the servers list and it wasn't there anymore. I can still connect to it from the outside, so it's up but it doesn't show in the list.

Here is my .cfg file:

sv_register 1
sv_name ctf4 unlimited
sv_motd Welcome to ctf4 unlimited

sv_port 1234
sv_max_clients 20
sv_spectator_slots 4
sv_teambalance_time 1
sv_scorelimit 0
sv_timelimit 1440
sv_teamdamage 0
sv_powerups 1
sv_inactivekick_time 3
sv_inactivekick 2
 
sv_map ctf4
sv_gametype ctf
sv_rcon_password some_password_i_wont_paste_here

tune hook_length 570
tune hook_fire_speed 120
tune player_hooking 0
tune player_collision 0

Here is the output of teeworlds_srv:

And if I let it run, the last few lines keep repeating. I can connect to it and play, I see the connection in the logs, but the server doesn't show up in the list. Any ideas why that happens and how I can get it back on the list?

Did you already ask someone else if he can see the server?
In some cases you can't see your own server because of your router but others can anyways.

Well... if you could see your server before and didn't change your router what im talking is bullshit xD

uptee - a simple web interface for hosting and maintaining teeworlds servers

Re: Why doesn't my server show up in the server browser anymore?

Did you try to connect to it directly by typing the ip and port in the connect field? Maybe you put some filter in the UI and cannot see it? I don't remember but self hosted servers show up in the local tab, no?

Need a tool to manage your servers? teeman

Yes, I can connect to it with IP and port from a remote computer.

I disabled all the server list filters to make sure nothing was filtering it (except maximum ping = 999).

I don't see it in the LAN tab either.

Re: Why doesn't my server show up in the server browser anymore?

Try to put

sv_ip  (IP of the hosting computer. / server)

If it is "sv_ip" I don't remember.

It's sv_bindaddr, it specifies on which local address to listen and it doesn't work anymore for some reason.

But I don't want any specific address, 0.0.0.0 is fine.

Re: Why doesn't my server show up in the server browser anymore?

If sv_port is not between 8303 and 8310 (including) your server will not be shown in your lan list.

edit: for internet list: sometimes masterservers don not send/take all ips, I have no idea why (so only 500 from about 1000 are displayed). Try to reload serverlist then.

Luck is allowed

Re: Why doesn't my server show up in the server browser anymore?

I don't know what was wrong. The power went out for a moment and I reconnected my router so I got a new IP address and I also changed the port to 8303, and now it works. Theoretically everything was the way it was before except for the port number, but practically I rebooted all my hardware. If anyone else is having this issue: I'm sorry!
