Hello,
I am a new OA player. I use 0.8.0 version and WindowsXP.
I have created a game but, with other computer in my LAN, I can not see this game/server/pc

My firewall is off. I have tried to connect also with IP directly unsuccesfully.

Please, could you help me?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Cacatoes.
Thank you for your reply but, I have overwritten the original files with the zip files and... I get the same problem Sad

Have I done something wrong?

Do you have another idea?

Well I read a bit too fast, if your server is not shown, it could be an issue which hasn't been solved yet.

You should check some other recent posts, some give some clues about it, that could be related to bad detection of your IP due to the fact it tries IPv6.
As a workaround, client-side, maybe using /connect some.lan.ip.address typed in the console of the game could help.

I have the same thing except my server is shown in the dpmaster.deathmask.net Master Server list
but i cannot connect true my network to the server. Maybe someone can try to connect to it and tell
me if it works yes or no?!

connect to 212.64.43.50:27960

What is the name of your server ?
I tried /connect 212.64.43.50:27960, it stays in Awaiting Gamestate.

Are you using the fix mentionned above ? If not, that's your problem.

Your firewall is off ... which OS are you running ?
Have you got a router ? (what's your network topology ? Tongue)

And, what is your server config ? Did you add a way to start the map, such as
Code:
vstr map1
at the end of the file after having set your map rotation ?

Seems
Code:
vstr m1
is missing at the end of your file. Necessary to start the map you want.

You do not use the updated binaries.

Your server says it is version "ioq3+oa 1.35 linux-i386 Aug 6 2008" that is the orginal binary, the serverfix ones have version string: "ioq3+oa 1.35 linux-i386 Aug 9 2008"

I should type the LAN IP or the external IP??

Do I have to type the ":port" too?

hmm i was sure i overwritted it!
anyway doing it again and will see what happens

edit:
so i did again and still Aug 6 instead of Aug 9!
I've coppied all files from the map oa080-serverfix to the openarena map
but there is still a map inside what's called old_glibc now whats up with that?

edit2:
so i did much work but got the update to work so my terminal says the server is running
but now this doesn't:
http://dpmaster.deathmask.net/?game=openarena&server=212.64.43.50:27960
+ i still can't connect to my server
edit3:
NVM all that server is runnign and can connect Smiley!
now the only problem invalid game folder but i know how to handel that Smiley!

===============================================
so what did i do wrong.. i updated the file all the time while the server was running cause i had my server in rc.local
i forgot to sudo chmod +x oa_ded.i386 and the sudo chmod 755 oa_ded.i386.
Tnx anyway for helping me out if anyone has some questions pm me about it!

Sorry I thought you were running a server to play only on LAN (read too fast bis Cheesy).
Use your internet address, but to test it's not a router issue you can try from your LAN using your LAN IP Address. (Correction: This might not work, because I think server only listens to either WAN or LAN IP range)

You use the default port, so omitting it is fine. Maybe you can check which port is opened by your OA server (and to ensure it's listening)
Code:
netstat -l #if you run linux
Code:
netstat -an #if you run windows
Did you overwrite the files with the ones of the server fix ? (check the file size maybe)

Can you post your server configuration ? Make sure you have some
Code:
vstr m1
line at the end of your config file.
Can you get the log of your server when it's running ? (I dunno how to get it under Windows, maybe run it with
Code:
oa_ded.exe > logfile.txt

And, of course, close your server when you upgrade to new binaries Cheesy

Ok now i have something weird.
So i have v0.7.0 installed on my pc and i have a map with v0.8.0
i've updated my server with v0.8.0 and after that the fixing zip so now my server works again.
But when i connect with v0.7.0 it says something with protocol 70 (but that's logic cause it isn't the good version)
but when i try to connect with v0.8.0 it says invalid game folder..
but how?
is this cause of the server fix or anything? i mean i have exact the same files...

Remember and keep the pak files that extract in the folder completely seperate for each version. If you have files in the fs_homepath location then changing the names of folders and stuff wont help.

I had the same problem. I just completely wiped my hompath of any oa files... I then wiped my installed basegame with the exe and extracted the files.

Sometimes it's the best thing Cheesy

I tried to connect to your server, and the problem comes from it. (not from your client).

You forgot to install some PK3, I suppose, maybe you did put them in the wrong path.

Check your server log, and see which .pk3 are loaded.

if you mean the FS_startup:
pak7-patch.pk3
pak6-misc.pk3
pak5-TA.pk3
pak4-textures.pk3
pak2-players.pk3
pak2-players-mature.pk3
pak1-maps.pk3
pak0.pk3
more_crosshairs.pk3
4511 files in pk3 files
that's the first FS_startup then a little bit later comes a FS_startup again with the same .pk3 but then with more files (9022 in pk3 files)

It's a bit strange to i see at first at the top he says:
ioq3+oa 1.35 linux-i386 Aug 9 2008
and a little further after loading all the .pk3 it says:
---Game initialization----
gamename: baseq3
gamedate: Aug 6 2008

so maybe that's where the problem is?

No the game files was builded Aug 6 and the working engine is build Aug 9/10

So that is not the place to look for the problem.

I still can't connect to your server.
You may try to move files which are in your ~/.openarena directory (home directory), both from the server and the client.
The problem is very probably .pk3 files which are loaded on your server.

Code:
fab@debian1525:/usr/local/games/openarena-0.8.0/baseoa$ ls -ail
