Re: registering to the masters

Maybe you're banned. IP?

Re: registering to the masters

That's because you've started hosting a NODES server with these parameters:

sv_register 1
sv_max_clients >16

I've edited my settings long ago and I got banned as well, I talked with m!nus and he unbanned me. I guess these parameters make other clients crash while they're loading up the servers from the master and m!nus is right to ban those IP's if they're causing trouble, but even so I believe someone should really tell us what else should we do with the nodes servers so we don't earn us another ban!

/Dalas, check out the Nodes topic/

Re: registering to the masters

Yes, you are missing, and are you posting because you have something to say, or you just like to troll around :?

1. I've seen his server / you should play nodes 2
2. I got the same ban for the first time in my life, because of the same reason 3 days ago

*update* Kottizen allows us to use the 32master.kottnet.net master server

Dalas, give your IP to Kottizen and he'll unban you, but you'll have to set max_clients 16 or less and sv_register 0 before you start the server again.

Kott, can you tell us more on the case?

Re: registering to the masters

To register a server to the official master servers that makes it possible for more than 16 concurrent clients to be connected in a security threat against 0.5.2 clients. There's a bug in them which causes them to crash if they receive a server with more than 16 concurrent clients. Nodes servers are hosted on the official master servers, but they allow 64 clients. To make sure no 0.5.2 clients crash, we're banning servers that have a sv_max_clients higher than 16, even if there aren't more than 16 people playing. In the future, Nodes will use 32master.kottnet.net, a master server that is intended to only be used by clients that support more than 16 players.

Re: registering to the masters

@Kottizen: That's what I needed to know, thx. I'd really love to see a separate master sv for Nodes, cuz nodes servers shouldn't mix up with other clients, but only show up on the nodes client sv browser smile

@Elite Tee: Listen *snip*, you don't HAVE a point of view, you only like to spread your garbage around the forum wasting mine AND everyone else's time, thinking it will help you SOME DAY become a moderator... Isn't it obvious?

You "COULD HAVE" known that he was hosting a Nodes server since there was "SALAD" in the server name and there are max 10 servers online in the same time.... his are 24/7...

He doesn't host only nodes, he hosts more, but he hosts them from 1 IP address which results in a ban of all servers that were hosted from THAT address... not only the NODES server...

Any other *snip* questions you might need answers to?

Re: registering to the masters

Anyway since 0.6.0 masterservers seems little bit confusing to me.

I start TW... search for servers... result is about 85 servers (I remember there was much, much more servers at 0.5.2 - yes I know 0.6 is still somewhat new).
I search for my servers... don't find them. I change to "Favorites" ...to check if they are down - but all servers are still running.

A few minutes later:
I start TW... search for servers... result is 163 servers (so nearly double then before)
I search for my servers... all of them are ok and in the list


I remember similar stuff happened even a few days ago and. So some servers was found in the list, some servers (even with the same IP just other port) are not visible at "Internet" but are found via "Favorites" so cause it's the same IP I'm even sure they are not banned and they are in the list with little luck a few minutes or hours later anyway. And even if I don't find my servers it seems others do (by luck? sometimes cause there where players playing (I think to much then all had it in the favorites).


Greetings,

Re: registering to the masters

I got the feeling its a problem with br_max_requests.
The lower it is, the more server i get (but it takes longer ofc).
Dunno if there is any relation

Re: registering to the masters

Same thing for me @Mo2 I think it is a general bug
