I am a moron. I am stupid. I am above all, not a very intelligent person.

Allright, that being said, I've got problems with my server. Wierdness is the only way to describe it. Sometimes A player winds up seing nothing but his HUD and blackness. Othertimes, the hud disappears you can move around, but the bots will kill you in the spot where where your HUD disappeared. Sometimes it seems like all control is gone. I set up the server using the command line:

D:\UnrealTournamentINF\System\ucc.exe server DM-INF-Peru.unr?game=InfiltrationUT.InfilTeamGamePlus?ini=infiltration.ini userini=infiltrationuser.ini

Help me.:(

Im not much of an intelligent person either,
are your server "packages" in order? I don't know the right ones, but that is a place to look for a problem.
I have never set up a server, but I do know that some wierd **** will go down if they aren't in right...
you know, this stuff.
ServerPackages=INF_Assets
ServerPackages=INF_Assets2
ServerPackages=INF_Base
ServerPackages=INF_Console
ServerPackages=INF_Core
{much more than this}

it looks good to me, don't paste mine in there :D
I have heard of installs going screwy and not putting the packages in correctly...
Sorry, I guess I can't think of anything else... I don't(can't) run a server.
How are you testing this?
Maybe you should try troubleshooting...?

This is what I tried to do recently. I went to the INF server info page, and found an example infiltration.ini file. I found it was pretty different. So I pretty much copied and pasted the Engine,GameEngine portion of it and used it. Now it seems that I can join and play on the server without a problem. But others seem to experience wierdness still.:(

I read something about the fact that you can't use your computer as a server and play with the same computer. Your server must be dedicated and cannot be used to play at the same time.

St0rm, are you running any mutators?
Also, is the server on the primary machine hooked to your internet connection, or is it proxied or on a secondary IP address?

Server connects to internet through a router. The router is currently set up for Dynamic (DHCP?) IP's. There is only one other machine connected.

The server is an AMD K6-III 450 128 MB RAM. Just incase it's relevant.

Hmmm, well I have heard of problems connecting to computers behind routers, but your clients can connect. They just get all kinds of screwy stuff happening, which leads me to reiterate my first question: Are you using any mutators or is it just plain INF?

Click to expand...

I ran a server on a machine almost identical, and got the same weirdness

tried it on my p3 450, no problems... (cept lag, but that has nothing to do with it :) )

my brother suggested turning off 3dnow support, but I never found out how, and since my p3 works fine even in listen mode, never bothered...

look over The admin page I'm sure they tell you how somewhere in there

Make sure that your router is set up to only allow data transfer to the server computer over the port that the server is run on. The router may be having incoming requests bounced off of both your server and other machine and possibly sending bad data back out.
