Server Appearance on Master Server

[Wesley Williams]

My dedicated server posts to the RTB server and Master Server three times or so, and then goes "no user/host entry in master server, re-sending authentication request."

When it is doing this, and waits to post to Master server, it does not appear on the Master Server list. How can I make it always appear on the list? :|

Console:

(at the time in question, it was not appearing on the Master Server)

I also found that during times of it posting to the RTB server multiple times, it is not join-able (doesn't appear on list) either.


(Can't join at this time)

On a different subject, I cannot stay in Crown's Trench TDM server because I get this disconnect issue:



Does someone know how to help me?

[Wesley Williams]

Also on Crown's Trench TDM server... I now got this error:



Bump for help.

For the authentication with master server enter "Webcom_postserver();" into console till it appears on the server list.

As for the other errors with connecting I don't know.

[Wesley Williams]

Ok... except it'll still not appear on the list when Im afk and not able to make it.

Bump for help on disconnect problems. Theyre becomming more and more frequent.

Bump for help with invalid packet error.

I've been getting kicked by servers during rampages :| So not cool.

Try connecting to it to get the ping some ping, or does it not show up for you?

Here's a quick little script I made up to fix this.

Code: [Select]

function looppost(){webcom_postserver();schedule(15000, false, looppost);}Then enter looppost(); into console to activate it.
It will post it to the server every 15 seconds so tweak the schedule a little to make it slower/faster.

I won't be surprised if you get banned.

As far as I know it's the only way to get it to post to the master server more often. Probably isn't as bad as hosting 15 servers at once...

There's a reason servers aren't posted every 15 seconds.
Take this into perspective:
200 servers at peak, each posting every 15 seconds
0.075 seconds per server, average
13.3333 postings per second

Does that look good?

It "looks good" when it fails to post to the master server half the time. And it's not 200 servers that are posting every 15 seconds, it's 1 server, in this case the OP's server.

Look for ways to detect that it didn't authenticate, and do it every 5 minutes like it's supposed to.
