Re: Tutorial to prepare (with Stripper) a dedicated server L4D2 (windows)
Question: which folder should i put sourcemod and metamod ?
This is the server's folder: Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server Addons path: Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server\left4dead2\addons I can connect to the server but the commands dont work (meta list and sm_version) So what is wrong ? |

Anyway: Install first metamod and only when it is ok go for sourcemod https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Installing_Metamod:Source this is the best guide. From there:
1)you are installing the server in a location near the L4d2 game folders or 2)you are using the "Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server" from the "Library/Tools" section of Steam: 1) Ok. It make no difference but be carefull not to confuse. 2) The folder may be the same but how I have already said here (1.3 Introduction to L4D2 server) I never used this metod and I am not interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SssjO3eLnFM |

- Don't start that server through Steam/Tools - Create shortcut (or else batch file) from ...Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server\srcds.exe - Add server parameters in shortcut properties target field: Code:
"D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server\srcds.exe" -console -game left4dead2 +map c1m1_hotel |

A method to connect to your dedicated server L4D2 in the same local net through the lobby when you have trouble to reach it.(May be CSGO too?)
Say thanks to the corona virus. It only took 10 years but finaly I found a method to connect to your server through the lobby. Worked 100% of the times that I have tested, replicated the bug every times. It have a long explanation that lies in a bug of the server code that I think no one has ever had an iteresting in corretting. The mistake born when the client that try to connect to the server has the same external ip of the server and the server cannot handle this. My fault,for many time, was the attempt to modify the client ip, but the solution is to modify the server ip (with a wrong ip)with a simple setting that, strangely , do not affect the server functionality. So simply put in the startup command line of the server the setting: +net_public_adr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Put instead of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx a fake ip (exemple 151.151.151.151 that problaby will be not your real ip....or use another.....) and this will trick the server that will think that xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is his external ip and it is done. Now you may connect to the server in whatever method you prefere because the client ip(real) do not corresponds with the server ip(fake) and the dummy server accept the client's connection that in reality have the same ip. Additionaly, but probably not necessary, I prefere also to put in the same line the setting for the internal ip +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx that is (surprise!) the internal server ip.....(to many word to explaine why but you need to know that if it is the right ip however it do not hurts). The simple way to do that is to put this setting in the start up command line (Tutorial section 3.5)like this [...YourAnyFolder\serverl4d2\left4dead2\srcds. exe -console -game left4dead2 +map c1m4_atrium +mp_gamemode "survival" +net_public_adr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +port 27015] You also may set this parameters in the server console on the fly. If I will find people interested in this I will be more detailed in my explanations. May be that this might work also with the other games that use the same server platform (may be CSGO too?). Let me know. Thanks. |

In effect when I starting with dedicated server me too never had this problem and I always simply used the option in the lobby to select a steam server to choose from,choosed the mine, and that was enough, no needed to use mm_dedicated_force_sever or other option. But afterwards it started to not work properly. I remember 10 years ago that often the server where updated and from time to time something stopped working and it starting to be a problem to connect to a sarver in the same local net. No portforwarding problem(not so complicated for me and not so complicated to test it) with the proof that external players never had problem to connect. So I started to try to understand and googleing I have found many people with the same issue but never found a real solution(not cosidering the difficulty for those with too little experience naturally). It has become purely random to have or not to have issue trying to connect to a local server(I have a wide range of cases to rely on). For local server we means not that one done with the game but a stand alone server,obviously. Found this in the game L4D2 I thinked to have found the solution. It is perfectly my case!! "mm_dedicated_force_servers" = "" - Comma delimited list of ip:port of servers used to search for dedicated servers instead of searching for public servers. Use syntax `publicip1:port|privateip1:port,publicip2:por t|privateip2:port` if your server is behind NAT. If the server is behind NAT, you can specify `0.0.0.0|privateip:port` and if server port is in the list of `mm_server_search_lan_ports` its public address should be automatically detected. If it even coded in the game it must work, I thought.......but........ Being a program executed from a machine I would expect that it do every time the same thing and it behave always the same. I was not so lucky. So I repeat that often to me happens to have trouble to connect to my own server on the same local net. But your words made me think that when I connect from a lobby to the server I am always alone, because I usualy play survival game that you may play alone to do a warm up waiting for some other players and restart a game is not so uncomfortable. It will be interesting to verify if make some differences to connect alone or with other players in the lobby. For now I change the title of my previous post to macth better my problem and I hope that this help someone with the same issue. |
