It seems to me that your problem is finding a brazilian server. Look for a shared host that will allow you to run a game server. once you get a server you'll get help here on the forum for configuring your server. p.s. is bullfighting a mod ;D Title: Re: creat server Help!

He was probably asking how to create a server in Brazil so he and his friends get a reasonable latency. "bullfighting" is probably a brazillian thing that they do in the weekends, fighting with bulls :P Title: Re: creat server Help!

Basic Steps include the following: upload OA to your server: this can be done via ftp, ssh/scp or whatever you prefer create an OA user account, do NOT run the server with root priviledges get / create a server config file (see example below) make sure your firewall/router (if any) allows connections to the OA ports run the server and make sure it stays active when you log out, usually with the help of the screen-utility under linux but where I make this? it is complicated, would not have a simpler skill to make? in the site it gives an example to me of as to configure? but where I place those commands? thanks for help me Title: Re: creat server Help! Post by: spirit on February 22, 2007, 12:36:58 AM If you consider these steps complicated then I assume that you don't want to setup a dedicated server. If all you want is to have friends connect to a game hosted on your PC (not a server running 24/7), then basically all you have to do is:
1) make sure your firewall (if any) allows connections to OA ports If connected directly to the Internet (using a modem, public IP): 2a) nothing, go to 3) else (you are behind a DSL router or sth. like that): 2b) configure portforwarding on the router (see manual) to allow connections from outside to your PC 3) find out your public IP and give it to friends so they can connect to your server (you may use a site like http://whatsmyip.org/ if you don't know how to do that) 4) start OA, click on multiplayer -> create server and follow instructions on screen to create a server. |
