my server no longer shown on q2servers.com

[fishxz]

hey,
maybe someone here can help me. im running 3jump, 3tdm, 1ctf and 1vortex server and all disappeared 2 days ago from q2servers.com except 1 jump server. im running all the server with q2pro and "setmaster master.q2servers.com". i already tried r1q2 as server, but still the same problem. i rly dont know what happens and why all my server disappeared from the list.

 

[Golgo13]

1) well the exhale server is showing to be disconnected in my server notification. that could be a possible reason.

2) i know the same thing happened when my Dyndns server reset my configuration. must have expired. had to renew. i lost the visibility for my server then. 

3) also if your network has changed internal IP's from PC connections, that could also be a reason. i run on a local network . so you probably have a different setup.

[fishxz]

what u mean with "exhale server" and 2. 3. its a static ip

[Golgo13]

Bad address: masterserver.exhale.de:27900

that's what it says in my console. it must be offline. it used to be a good master server.

[fishxz]

Bad address: masterserver.exhale.de:27900

that's what it says in my console. it must be offline. it used to be a good master server.

which server is this? i dont get i what u talking about :] where i have this master server from?

[Golgo13]

im running all the server with q2pro and "setmaster master.q2servers.com".

should be in your server config file. that may not be the problem though,since  other servers are listed. maybe quadz would know.

[QwazyWabbit]

master.exhale.de has been gone for at least a year. I took it off my configurations that long ago when I noticed it wasn't responding to my server pings. The exhale.de domain is still valid but the subdomains master.exhale.de or masterserver.exhale.de are no longer registered.

fishxz: r1q2dedicated defaults to master.q2servers.com without the need for it to be set with the setmaster command. I don't know if this is true for q2pro but it might be worth looking into. I know q2pro was following r1ch's development and using many of his changes. I still prefer r1q2 as a server, though. Check the server console logs and see if the server is acknowledging your server pings. You can see it in the server console stream if you set con_filterlevel 0, if q2pro supports the con_filterlevel and logfile_filterlevel that exist in r1q2.

You should also check that the domain name is properly resolved on your Q2 server machine.
Use nslookup master.q2servers.com to be sure it resolves.

If your servers are properly reaching master.q2servers.com you will get: "Ping acknowledge from 173.236.101.34:xxxxx" in your log stream. If the server can't resolve the IP address of a master server r1q2 server will print "Bad address: ..." in the console.

Also, commanding "setmaster" in the console of r1q2 will force a ping of the master server, thus:

setmaster
Sending heartbeat to 173.236.101.34:27900
Ping acknowledge from 173.236.101.34:55708

If sv_global_master is 1, r1q2 will automatically use master.q2servers.com:27900 as its master.

I do not know if there are any other valid q2 master servers in existence.

One of the nice commands in q2pro server is the "listmasters" command which will tell you if the master is communicating with your server. This command doesn't exist in r1q2.

hey,
thanks for ur answer. i already tried r1q2 as server, but still same problem.

[VaeVictis]

ewww softlayer...

[Golgo13]

These are the masters i have in my config file.

setmaster master.q2servers.com
q2master.planetquake.com
master0.gamespy.com:28900
masterserver.exhale.de:27900
netdome.biz:27900

[fishxz]

is it possible to contact the hoster of q2servers.com?

[The Happy Friar]

The gamespy/pq masters are down I thought?

[QwazyWabbit]

The listmasters results you show would indicate you are communicating with the master. If you are communicating the number in the lastmsg column will change each time you use the listmasters command.

The setmaster result says otherwise.

All the other servers you have listed no longer exist as happy friar points out.
Netdome.biz doesn't respond as a Q2 master server.

The owner of q2servers.com is R1ch. He may respond if you post you question on his forum.

Check your firewall settings on the servers, if they are hosted sometimes hosting companies will block outbound traffic on the ports Q2 uses.

Make sure you aren't filtering your server list too. R1ch's quake 2 server browser remembers the filter settings and caught me off guard a couple of times.

What are your server names and IP addresses? I will take a look too.

well it's showing this. so it must be registering
