Setting up own Server: "Couldn't bind to UDP port 27910"
« on: December 01, 2012, 03:41:17 AM »
hi,

trying to set up my own quake2 server, but there is a problem. When starting r1q2ded-old build 7864 (linux) the following error message appears:
Code: [Select]
UDP_OpenSocket: Couldn't bind to UDP port 27910: Cannot assign requested address
Couldn't allocate dedicated server IP port on 87.73.79.21:27910. Another application is probably using it.
Error: Couldn't allocate dedicated server IP port on 87.73.79.21:27910. Another application is probably using it.

How can this be fixed?

[edit]
I'm launching the server with this command:
Code: [Select]
./r1q2ded-old +set dedicated 1 +set ip 87.73.79.21
When ommitting the "set ip" part, the server boots up fine (haven't tested connection yet though)

I managed to solve the issue just by ommitting the "set ip" parameter as described. Obviously its not needed with my configuration.

Question: what do I have to do in order to join the tastyspleen network with my server? eg. getting wallfly to connect etc?

DM server is fucked. 2 point blank rockets from spawn and lava damage and player survived? WTF?" Also someone has fucked with the spawn points, every single time no matter how big the map you spawn right in front of the person who killed you last
