hello, was curious if there was anything I could to make my server show up as USA instead of Canada?

looked over server.cfg & couldn't see anything.

Thanks!

Well no. The server location displayed on this website, and most other clients that do this (e.g. Qtracker), is solely based on an IP location lookup. This returns Canada for your given IP, see, e.g. this.

The only thing i can think of is that you could 'hint' the servers location in your config, like you already did with the servers name. Additionally, you could do


sets " Location" "USA/Dallas"



But that wont show up unless someone opens the server details ingame or anywhere else.
Sorry for my bad spelling - I am still asleep. :)

Also if your server is in Dallas, You should contact the hosting company of your server and ask why it's showing a Canadian IP.

I did a trace route to your server from New Orleans . I actually jump over to Europe and back until I reach your server.
