I seem to have problems with making servers, I make a server, and no one else can join it or even see it, even when my friends are use xfire to join. I think I have a firewall...if this is the problem, how can I get around it?

I also have a problem with the LAW. It doesn't seem to fire...at all. I hold it and let go and stuff...and nothing fires.

My final problem: The game seems to freeze when joining some servers...I can't seem to close the window, and I try control-alt-delete, and closing soldat, and it still doesn't work, although I am able to play in a window, but fullscreen doesn't work, and that happens.

1. Read the sticky about how to set up your own soldat server in server talk.
2. Make sure you are crouching, and then holding fire.
3. No idea.

Ok...crouch to fire the LAW. Thanks, now...what sticky are you talking about? And can anyone else help me with my third problem?

3: Perhaps it would be easyer for other people more specialized in this matter to know your system specifics (cpu, graphics card, ram, sound card perhaps)

Ok, I read through that, and it didn't really help :P I don't know anything about all that port stuff and...stuff.

I fixed the third problem though.

Oi my mistake sorry, I misread your post, thought you were talking about routers

I'm unfamiliar with most firewalls, but I recon that there must be some options to either allow ports or allow certain programs to access the internet. I'd try to fiddle around with those options a bit :)

Again, sorry for my misread.

Okay, I think I fixed everything, but now, I ran the soldat server thing, and I get this:

I did everything the readme said: I edited the soldat.ini and maplist files, and copied them onto the server files, and I added an admin password...

Could you show the soldat.ini? Perhaps there are some bad values.

I have tested these exact same settings with the same mapslist and don't seem to have any problems.

Perhaps the weapons.ini is causing troubles, or there might be missing files. I'd recommend to try and start a fresh beginning. Redownload, unpack it in a different folder, and copy pase the settings you have just put here.

Good luck.

Nevermind, I think I had a firewall or a router, but I used a different computer and it worked; all of my problems have been solved! Thanks Denacke!

Ah, crap. As soon as I got that problem fixed, another came up =-P

I can't get mp3's to play, I made sure all of the music was in mp3 format, and I put it in the mp3 folder; what am I doing wrong?

Go to Top of Page
For information on getting MP3s to play, read this topic (ctrl+f to search the page for any instances of "mp3", second one down, assuming you are already registered)

If you have read that topic and followed the appropriate links and you still cannot get the mp3 player to work, create a new topic in the "Need Help? Report Bugs!" forum.
