I am having problems getting a half life server (tfc) running. The install/config is fine but when I run the server the output ends after the auth but does not finish...
... Auto-restarting the server on crash Host_Init Added packfile /usr/local/games/halflife/hlds_l/valve/pak0.pak (985 files) Added packfile /usr/local/games/halflife/hlds_l/tfc/pak0.pak (306 files) Protocol version 46 Exe version 3.1.1.0 Exe build: 14:46:34 Jun 11 2002 (2056) WON Auth Server Server IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:27015 It just sits there at that message until I type exit to shut down the server and then it looks like it is dumping connection attempt IPs to WON? ... exit Adding master server 63.251.143.218:27010 Adding master server 216.52.220.16:27010 Adding master server 63.251.143.213:27010 Fri Jun 14 18:15:01 EDT 2002: Server Quit If I try a "status" command I get... Can't "status", not connected I thought maybe my firewall rules to allow udp traffic on port 27015 might have not been correct so I shut the firewall down and flushed the IPchains but that had no effect. By the way, the rule I added for PMFirewall looks like this... #TFC SERVER echo -e "\t\tAllowing inbound TFC packets" $IPCHAINS -A input -p udp -s $REMOTENET -d $OUTERNET 27015 -j ACCEPT I can see the server running with ps aux | grep hlds but apparently it is having a connection problem? What is odd is that it displays the "WON Auth Server" line which should indicate that there is not a connection problem. This is on a dedicated, remotely located Redhat server we own. Initially I installed it on an IP based virtual domain with a standard user account, all I did as root was the install. I wanted the ability to run multiple servers under different user accounts on different IP based domains which is why I put it in a vhost dir. Just in case this was a problem I have tried installing it on the main box IP in a /usr/local/games/halflife dir. It still produces the exact same results though. My bash script to start the server looks like this... #/bin/bash/ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/games/halflife/hlds_l:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./hlds_run -game tfc +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +maxplayers 16 I have searched for two days now and can't find any mention of a problem like this anywhere on the search engines. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
