-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I dont have CS installed on the box I'm currently using for test (the 2.6.12-vanilla box connected to the net, router and firewall free), so I'm using tfc for testing
but yea, adding +map to the command line now allows the client to connect :)! by adding "+map bounce" to the command line, teh following now appears in the server startup dump: Adding master server 68.142.72.250:27010 Adding master server 207.173.177.11:27010 Connection to Steam servers successful. VAC secure mode is activated. Without the +map, for some reason those lines of text do not appear The only problem is that clients cannot currently join a team in the TFC server. When attempting to join a team, the client receives "Teamplay is not on, teams are inactive" in the console. Any ideas? Thank you very much for the help, Alfred. Can't beleive you just got it working !! -Rick On 6/6/06, Alfred Reynolds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Put a "+map de_dust" on the command line. > > - Alfred > > Rick R. wrote: > > -- > > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > > Bumping this because I still have not found a solution :( > > > > I have even tried connecting a non-customized vanilla-2.6.12 box > > directly to > > the internet without any firewall / routing, with no luck. > > > > By non customized, I mean nothing fancy to the kernel.
