Hi all,

I'm having some problems to make a UrT server appearing in the server list.

This server is running on a linux virtual machine. Port 27960 is open in both udp/tcp. No problem to connect to the server with a manual /connect in console.

More infos about the host : it's running VmWare ESXi, I created a dedicated VM to host this linux urt server.
All routing is ok with my other VMs (about 30 ports routed/set up without any problems).

I have a Windows 7 VM too on this machine, I tried to run a UrT server with it, same result : routing ok, manual /connect without problem, but my server isn't on the server list.

Had a talk with Barbatos, he checked the server IP, it's not banned, but the UrT masterserver gives no answer to this IP. He checked the UrT server logs, it's all good.
Heartbeat / masterserver ping is ok.


I should mention too that I'm running Pfsense as the upstream VM : it's acting as a router/firewall with all my other VMs.
I'm sure the problem comes from this machine, but I don't have a clue.
Basically :


Host machine (ESXi) ---> Pfsense (Routing 27960 udp/tcp) <--------> Linux/Windows VM running UrT


Barbatos mentioned potential problems with UrT and VMs.
Any server admin here who has already experienced this kind of problem ?

Thx

make sure pfsense is not blocking port 27900 and 27950?

[|O_o|B3e]

Both 27900 and 27950 ports allowed and routed to the VM running the urt server. Still no result.

Side question : should I set "set fs_game q3ut4" or "q3ut42" ?

[|P|Nitro]

q3ut4 or the name of the folder your .PK3 files are in

[|O_o|B3e]

Right makes sense.
Still no idea how to sort this out :/

Thx for help anyway.

whats your server IP and what commands are you using to start the server?

[|O_o|B3e]

Server IP is : 176.31.254.204

sh command with linux is :

screen -AmdS urbanterror UrbanTerror42/Quake3-UrT-Ded.x86_64 +set fs_game q3ut42 +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27960 +exec serv.cfg

Ports 27960, 27900, 27950 are all open and routed to the VM who host the game server (TCP + UDP)


I did some tests here at home, hosting a urt server on a old PC of mine, running the same fresh installed Ubuntu Server 14.04, did an exact copy of the game folder, running the server with the same command that mentioned above : it was working at first try, game server was in the game list.

So are we sure the game only use port 27960 (UDP/TCP) ?

Can you post your server log file. for simplicity have you checked the server works in a DMZ? that would prove the problem was firewall related.

Also make sure you explicitly define your home and base paths to avoid confusion. they should point to your q3ut42 directory.

+set homepath "/home/nitro/UrbanTerror42/q3ut4"
+set basepath "/home/nitro/UrbanTerror42/q3ut4"

P.S. you could also try defining the IP to use too. +set net_ip "123.123.123.123"

I have the same problem!
I'm using Windows 7 in a virtual machine, I run the server but this don't appear in the game server list.

Did you guys port forward? You need to have the port opened, or your firewall will block your server from letting players join, i.e wont allow the master list to set it on public list.
