InsanePyro Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I can't seem to get a basic LAN server to work. When I stay host game and start it just sits at a black screen. I have tried making all of the nessesary files but i can't seem to get the hang of it. Can someone give me a bit more in depth help? And I can't see any server I make on the LAN menu....is there a port or something I need to unblock? Link to comment
Gamesnert Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Black screen means there is no gamemode (or resource that fades the camera) started. Try "/start votemanager", then "/votemode". You should get a selection of gamemodes. Link to comment
InsanePyro Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 I got rid of the slashes and it says I can't access the start function or something like that but I already have myself configured as admin Link to comment
robhol Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Then you either screwed up when changing the ACL, forgot to reload it (restart the server or do aclReload(),) or just forgot to log in. The syntax for the login command is: /login Name Password OR /login Password. In the latter case, your player name (options or /nick) will be used as the name. Link to comment

Well doing that I now get this [08:36:16] Resources: 207 loaded, 0 failed [08:36:16] Starting resources... [08:36:16] Server started and is ready to accept connections!

robhol Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Then it's the ACL. Restart the server and try again. If it still doesn't work, open acl.xml and make sure there's an entry in the Admin group with user.[yourname] in it. <group name="Admin"> ... <object name="user.robhol" /> ... </group> Link to comment

InsanePyro Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Ok it works...I was trying to put it in the console and chat. So my server starts with my map. That's cool thanks. Now I just need it to show up on my LAN Link to comment
robhol Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 It's in mtaserver.conf. Look at the tag names. Shouldn't take you too long to find. Link to comment
