Topic: Master server questions

Hi
I'd like to have some information about the master server.

First, I think i found how to compile it (since I have a 'mastersrv' executable in my teeworlds folder I think it's ok on that point)
But the true questions...
Does it needs any .cfg file to be ran with ? When I run it it doesn't print anything on the screen as teeworlds or teewords_srv does.
Once I have launched it, what must I put in my servers' .cfg files ? I've tried with masterserver localhost as said in pvpede's guide but it doesn't seem to work. My servers say that no master server can be found (I'm in a student residence, behind a very restrictive proxy/firewall so sending heartbeats to regular teeworlds.com master servers isn't possible)

Can someone help me please ?
Thanx.

If you need to host a master server you should be intelligent enough to find out syntax etc. yourself.

Re: Master server questions

A master server is a server hosting the server list and is run by us. Nothing you need to worry about.

Languages shapes the way we think, or don't.

Re: Master server questions

I know what a master server is.
If I want to run a master server, it's because, as I said, I'm in a residence and there's a f**king proxy/firewall. Just imagine I'm in a private network totally disconnected from the Internet.
I want a master server for the other students to know that there are other servers than the one running on port 8303. Because with the LAN tab we only see servers running on this port (even if we still can connect to others by manually entering their IP:port)

Re: Master server questions

Ok, so you just need to run the mastersrv, edit your $HOME/.teeworlds/masters.cfg (it's the same file for both client and server) and launch the servers.
The the clients who have the same masters.cfg as the servers will see the servers registered on your master server.
