orappa Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Are you running Windows XP or 2000? Link to comment
zeRo-liMit Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Are you trying to host a server which no one can see, or are you just trying to play on another server (from ASE or whatever) and can't see anyone? Link to comment
Guest Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 trying to play on an other server and then i don't see any1 Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 If you think it may be your router try putting that computer in the DMZ that will eliminate that as a possibilty. Also you can search this forum or the Support Forum Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Also you can search this forum or the Support Forum Defeats the whole purpose of the Support Forum when people post bugs/erros/tech problems here. But, you can't blame them, I forgot about the Support Forum for a while; and when I remembered it, I didn't know where to find it. Link to comment
Guest Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 i can't see a topic about it on the other forum, so maybe it's easier when someone knows what is wrong and just tells me here, cause i don't realy understand the answer someone has given me. Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Well, I've seen a problem like this before.. But I'm bad at remembering solutions. The whole "no radar"/"no people" bug situation has been posted a few times now, or at least once in the past. I'll try to hunt one down for you. Link to comment
Guest Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 it is not about the radar bug, but i can't see real persons in the game and they can't see me 2. and that's iritating. edit: does somebody know the mta ports, cause i've only opened port 2003 and 2004, but are there more mta ports? Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 This has been discussed many times... I remember reading a lot of threads about it. I can't seem to find any of them though, because the 'Search' function is a little incompetent. (Can keywords "can't see players people help problem fix" get more accurate?! I'm finding threads about Signatures, rather than bugs/problems ) Link to comment
Guest Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 ok, but do u maybe know all the mta ports that i need to open on my router? Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I never opened any ports, and I have router firewalls too. Link to comment
zeRo-liMit Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 There is also 2126 and 4003, which you can always try opening, but they shouldn't be needed for you to play on a remote server - they are used when hosting. Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 What I did with my old router (When I used to host servers), I just basically freed ports 1 to *highest number you want*. I forget port numbers, but I didn't do 1 to 99999, but more or less, the highest number I'd ever see for the game I was hosting. For Vice City, I'd do 1 to 9999 to be safe. Don't see any ports that aren't ranged 2000 to 5000, but it couldn't hurt. Unless, of course, you're worried about hackers busting through your opened ports and hacking your PC... Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Well, it's probably not a firewall/port problem. I'll just stop posting; I don't really have a solution, but I'm sure one of the admins will. EDIT: Why did you delete your post? Link to comment
Guest Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 ok thnx, does some1 knows if there is an admin online? Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 ok thnx, does some1 knows if there is an admin online? By admin, I meant a MTA Team Developer. Once one of them comes online, they'll hit you up with a solution. Good luck... Link to comment
Guest Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 i've send a private message to some1 of the mta crew, i hope he will give a answer! Link to comment
orappa Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 i've send a private message to some1 of the mta crew, i hope he will give a answer! Oooh... they won't like that. Can you get chat? If so, then it's unlikely to be a port problem as data is being sent and received. But, you can't blame them, I forgot about the Support Forum for a while; and when I remembered it, I didn't know where to find it. http://support.mtavc.com (Can keywords "can't see players people help problem fix" get more accurate?! I'm finding threads about Signatures, rather than bugs/problems) Yeah, it's because it searches the whole topic rather than one post. And you can't use quotes either. I tried searching for something to help this guy too but I gave up in the end. Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 http://support.mtavc.com Yeah, I found it eventually... Yeah, it's because it searches the whole topic rather than one post. And you can't use quotes either. I tried searching for something to help this guy too but I gave up in the end. I didn't use quotes, but it does search the whole damn thread ... Makes the whole search rather difficult. Considering people type in "HELP!" as their thread titles, you can't do a "Search only Thread Titles" search... Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Or if it would pull up only the posts that contain the keyword. I have looked for somethings and they will be in a 50 page thread...somewhere Link to comment
