Re: PS2 server/game testing needed for new master server

[Phobos]

The [FC] Battlefront PS2 server is up and I got the new DNS settings to work using the emulator

[Led]

Nice--that looks like Christians DNS.

I am struggling to get my DNS set up correctly.

Can you try 74.91.125.138 as the DNS?

Thanks!

I made some updates.  If you can try again that would be great.

Hello, this is Dracula
Just wanted to let you know, my SWBF2 PS2 server is up and running 24/7 and I have edited my host file with the new ip address for your masterserver.  This worked with GameMaster for the entire run, but for some reason, my server is not showing up on your masterserver list.  Please let me know if you need any assistance from my end to rectify the problem.
Thanks.  ;

Can you post your hosts file ?  make sure you are using 162.248.92.172 and not the DNS IP.

I use the file that snake made with hexedits that is located here:

I am also still trying to get my DNS server to work...

[Dracula]

ok, I was using this ip  186.34.189.167 I will fix it right now. ;

[Led]

also, if you could post your hosts file, I can check to make sure I am setting up all the entries in my DNS server.
Thanks!

[Dracula]

Thanks for doing this BTW.

Thanks man.

I've not tried the hosts file yet, so please let me know if that works.

And if you are around in 5 minutes, I will ask if you can check my DNS too 

[Led]

ok, please check my DNS

74.91.125.138

[Led]

OK, I got my DNS set up just like Christians, as far as I know.

There are three or four external IPs that go to other services Openspy, qtracker, etc.

I need a PS2 tester for my DNS, then I would like to change those external IPs to the our SWBFspy master server IP.

[Mike]

Hey Led, I tried it just now and it is working, whatever you changed most recently that made it work. Great job to everyone who helped figure this out, it was a good team effort.

SWBF1 is also working on PS2 with your DNS, I see 3 servers up.

The buddies list and leaderboards are not working, however this is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, also you can login to GameSpy on SWB2 just fine, but not SWBF1.

I will begin to spread the word, so we should use Snake's file to host servers then? Maybe include that in the post with the other .exes you have for PC.

[Led]

Good deal, it was quite a trip.  We control our own destiny now.  Long live SWBF 


edit:  so here is the area for PS2 files
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;cat=50


you can either use your same PC based hosting setup with a new hosts file (like Dracula) or you can use the exe files that have been hex edited by snake (with the usual server software)
