Headless server not showing up in the list :: Oct 5, 2007 @ 2:41pm

Hi,

I am trying to set up a galcon headless server on a dedicated linux server (in a 32bit chroot), but it just doesn't show up in the serverlist.

Since the game unfortunately misses a "connect to IP" option the only thing I could do was query the UDP port with junk which returns something though:

"1       1       [PING]"
and the servercmdline says
"Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "q3net.py", line 273, in _poll
  File "q3net.py", line 127, in receive
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): ASDFASDF"

The galcon.ini contains my password and my reg code and the binary starts up fine:

"psyco not installed
mixer not initialized
starting server..."

Any hints?

Thomas

Make sure you are running Galcon 1.3.2 (latest version), as the server list no longer accepts old servers.

Other than that - make sure you've got your firewall/router set up proper to open your 9031 port to the world.

My bad, finally tracked/straced it down to a broken chroot build script and thus environment. It stopped looking for missing libraries once galcon didn't crash anymore - which was without DNS and SSL libs for example, so it couldn't announce itself to the masterserver :S

Add a -debug switch, perhaps? :)
