Doctor699 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hi, so i want to host my own server for CnC Renegade. This is something i haven't done in about a decade now and would like to know how to get it online. Either starting from scratch or how to update the old one to make it compatible with the latest version of Renegade and display on Renlist or the W3D server list. All help would be greatly appreciated. Attached is a screenshot of the old server FDS console running at the present time. Probably last run about 9 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstoppable Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Wow scripts 3.4.4, you should use 4.6 server build from https://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/downloads And then optionally use Dragonade 1.10.1 from https://multiplayerforums.com/files/file/2417-da1101-with-scripts-469/ Edited April 26, 2020 by The Unstoppable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peasy Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 The issue is, the server isn't showing up on Renlist. Is it the patch outdate that's preventing it from showing or could it be something completely different? It's not showing any errors, so it should be showing on the list. But for some reason it doesn't even acknowledge that the server is being run, does anyone have any idea why? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danpaul88 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 The old GameSpy master server is no more afaik, using a newer version of scripts.dll will help, plus you can use the GameSpy plugin for brenbot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor699 Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Still not showing up on W3D hub list or Renlist. A couple more shots of the console. Perhaps it's the version it's running? This is running with the Dragonade scripts.dll 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dblaney1 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Your best option if you are using a server that is not running dragonade is to use the brenbot gamespy plugin. Also make sure you have the latest server files from https://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/files/server-4.6.9.zip 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstoppable Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) 21 hours ago, unknown said: Are your ports open? As unknown said, your ports are probably closed. Go to da.ini, and you will find a Entry called "GameSpyQueryPort", you should open the value of this entry. If not, you should change "EnableGameSpy" value to "1", if you are not using GameSpy mode in server.ini But I'd recommend you to use Dragonade's GSA feature, as it sends more data about server.

Doctor699 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 So the FDS is running properly now, as is bRenbot, my ports are open and i have opened the value of the one in DA.ini, but the server is still not listing. Even with the firewall off. What's going on here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danpaul88 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I seem to recall there was an age old bug with GSA stuff where you couldn't see servers running on your own machine. Worth leaving it running for a bit and see if it shows up on https://gsh.w3dhub.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonsense715 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Can others join your server with direct connect? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor699 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 How do you direct connect to it? Is this with Renlist or W3D hub? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triattack Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 the port in DA.ini should NOT be opened it's the port used for remote access (in SSGM this is the port in SSGM.ini) to the server for the bot (reading logs mainly but can also be used to send commands to the server) the ports you need to open are in server.ini make sure the port that is set there is open (this is the port so players can join), the GameSpyQueryPort is open this is the port used by the server so the gamespy master list knows what servers are online player count etc. which is what's not working right now. lastly the gamespyport must be the same as the port defined in server.ini else gamespy players can't join as it will broadcast the wrong port this might help you too https://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/wiki/index.php?title=Server_owner_guide https://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/wiki/index.php?title=SSGM_documentation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor699 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Thank you for all your help thus far. However it is still not listing and these ports are in fact open. Here's a copy of my Server.ini and DA.ini server.ini da.ini 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 is your serial valid? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triattack Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 the config files seem fine. so that's not it you could try the default GSAquery port and after like a few min if it appeared. also the serial only matters for XWIS so don't worry about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor699 Posted May 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Thank you Tri, i tried the default port, however it still isn't showing. Can i get you on discord sometime to go through this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GameSpyQueryPort= in server.ini doesn't need to be open at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should get in contact with your ISP to fix this. Additionally if you want to check if you are in CGN, go your router interface, if the WAN IP (generally starts with 100. or 10. for CGN) shown here and a IP service like http://whatismyip.com is NOT the same, you are in a CGN. === If you are sure you are not in a CGN network, try steps below. === Often, installed antivirus may prevent you from hosting your own server. Try disabling it for test purposes. Make sure your GSA port is opened as UDP. And if you are using "GameType" in "server.ini" as "GameSpy", open "GameSpyQueryPort" in "server.ini" as "UDP" in router interface. If you are using "EnableGameSpy" in "da.ini" as "1", open "GameSpyQueryPort" in "da.ini" as UDP in router interface. DO NOT have both of them GameSpy, as this may result showing your server twice in listing. I recommend you to leave "GameType" in "server.ini" to "LAN", and use the "da.ini" GameSpy feature. Make sure your game port is opened as UDP. Edited May 2, 2020 by The Unstoppable add more items 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor699 Posted May 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 I'm not in a CGN, and i've tried running with the antivirus and firewalls off, but it's still not listing. I've tried what you said Unstoppable, i don't know what else to do. This is all becoming very discouraging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried what you said Unstoppable, i don't know what else to do. This is all becoming very discouraging. If the "Firewall" you meant is not the firewall at "W F.msc" (without space and quote), so open it and try turning all profiles off temporarily. If that fixes, you can add rules to allow Renegade ports. Edited May 3, 2020 by The Unstoppable War Factory?? wth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstoppable Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) I saw a server named "JuJU+FJServer". If that's yours, congratz! Edited May 3, 2020 by The Unstoppable typo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor699 Posted May 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) That's me, Unknown diagnosed and resolved it, thank you everyone here for your help as well. The problem wasn't the firewall, but multiple connections, like wireless adapter, vpn, LAN, and that kind of thing. It needed a linear path i guess. Anyway i'm very grateful You're all welcome on anytime. Edited May 3, 2020 by Doctor699 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
