    a bog standard web hosting account with ssh access should do the job

    Wasn't it Rev Hellfire who hosted the server? Think he works for a hosting company or an ISP or something

    Nope not dead, there's a few servers there. If someone send me links to whats needed I'll sort it for you.

    was just hoping for a kaillera server (mostly for street fighter III :) ), basically just for irish and maybe UK folk, so with a ping limit around 60 would be good, it would keep the lag off the server.
    im not sure what you mean by sending you link ? :(

    thanks alot btw :)

    Right there's one running at games2.iol.ie
    No idea if its setup correctly or anything. That would involve effort which I'm allergic to.

    Someone hope on and give it a belt, I idle in #hiv on quakenet if you need me.

    Do a search for monaghan as the location and you'll get it.

    hmm not sure

    Connecting to 193.120.123.135:28999
    server replied
    server protocol mismatch or other error


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,346 ✭✭✭Rev Hellfire


    Its running the kaillerasrv-0.86 in the link you supplied.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    hey man, yeah thats right but im not sure if you set up the kaillersrv.conf file that came with it, you might need to specify the port there,
    ; ServerName can be up to 64 characters long.
    ServerName=Unknown serv0r
    ; Location can be up to 64 characters long.
    Location=Unknown location
    ; URL can be up to 128 characters long. (ex: http://www.mysite.com/)
    URL=

    MaxUsers=10
    Port=27888


    i tried connecting with 27888 and got a response
    Connecting to 193.120.123.135:27888
    server replied
    logging in [but it stays at this] not sure if you need to forward ports on your server etc
    and i can access it via browser on 27888 "http://193.120.123.135:27888/"

    SO i asked around and
    "you dont have enough ports forwarded to run the official server
    that port, default = 27888 is for making connection requests only. Once you make a connection request, server gives you another port to negotiate your login and ping user info and gameplay etc. And its pretty much allocated by system."


    sorry for the trouble :/

    If you find out the range of ports needed I'll open them, I only opened 27888

    Don't trust this guy - It's a Nigerian scam !!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,346 ✭✭✭Rev Hellfire


    Don't listen to hims.

    I am chief banker in nigerian head currancy. Due to unforseen circumstances I have have large range of ports which I need to take out of contry. I hears you are a man of god and trustwordy and love ours lady marys.

    I will give you access to 10000 ports and bot network if you can assust me. As a acts of good wills you can open list of ports I give you. I take ports once back from you once I leave nigeran and give you 10% ports to keep.

    love jesus

    LOL

    the server specifies "0" for port and system allocates the next port in its counter [it doesnt start at 27888]
    it starts on some number small but not zero. and counts upwards as more ports are allocated by system, some people do a range of 0-1000 but i suppose they expect heavy loads, it would be great aswell if we could have a limit of 65-70ms ping MAX, so it doesnt effect the server load and other users.

    bumppp


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,346 ✭✭✭Rev Hellfire


    Ahh yes. I had forgotten about this. Can you get me a range of ports it uses and I'll get them opened.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,346 ✭✭✭Rev Hellfire


    Right after doing a wee bit of googling there are other versions of the kaillera server some of which allow you to specify a port range.

    Fancy doing some research and picking one that can.

    One that I hear can is http://www.emulinker.org

    hey man emulinker supposidly has sync problems,
    if you were to limit it to 20 users, with 60-80ms ping at most limit, then

    a user would allocate , go by up to 3 ports after joining server, so 0-600/700 should do it, il look more into emulinker and let you know if opening that many is going to be a security risk

    thanks for this btw !!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,346 ✭✭✭Rev Hellfire


    cool.

    All I need is a link to the server and the list of named ports to open.
    Its probably best if you PM these since I don't check this forum as a rule.
