How to create an internet server?

[Zinc]

I have this problem with a lot of Steam Games. Is there a way I start a simple game with someone I know, without going through the trouble of making a dedicated server? (no matter what the game, it always proves to be a huge pain)

Creating a Game from the Menu creates a LAN Game, I don't want that.

I believe you do use the menu, actually. Multiplayer -> Start new multiplayer game. Then look at the "Server" tab. There is an option to "advertise" your server with the global master server, which means it's not just a LAN server.

Ticked it, still not appearing on the list of Internet Servers..

Dunno. You should probably ask at a dedicated UT site like ut99.org. Google about the master servers too.

Here is what I did to get it working. If you are using a router make sure these 2 ports are opened up:

7777 UDP/IP (Game Port)
7778 UDP/IP (Query Port; game port + 1)

I went here to get mine and my friends actual Internet IP address:
http://www.speedtest.net/

I went under favorite servers and created a favorite server with my friends IP address and he added one for mine on his. That way either host are easy to find each other without browsing a ton of servers.

Fire up a server and join your game. Have your friend join his favorite server setup for you with your ip address.

You'll want to open 27900 for the master server as well. That will make the game show up. The easiest way to start a server is by UCC command.

I used the following when I was coding for UT:

:top
D:
cd\Games\CodingUT\System
Start unrealtournament.exe unreal://127.0.0.1
ucc server DM-Phobos?game=Botpack.DeathMatchPlus?mutator= ini=Unrealtournament.ini log=server.log
echo off
type AppendBreak.txt>>servercrash.log
type server.log>>servercrash.log
pause
goto top
:ed

That was in a BAT file and moves to my CODING installation of UT, starts UT and connects to my localhost, UCC Server starts the server. This command line sets the map, gametype,mutators are empty, and uses the UnrealTournament.ini.

Make sure any custom packages that aren't default UT are included in the ServerActors/ServerPackages lines in the UnrealTournament.ini otherwise they will not show up in the game on the connecting players game.

The echo off type AppendBreak can be removed...that was so that I could see what was crashing the server if needed. Remove the Pause to not pause the BAT on restarting of the server.

how to create a tournament

Use a dedicated server like this : .

http://www.ut-files.com/index.php?dir=Entire_Server_Download/

Goty baiter v3 or UAU edition.

As far as tournament, You cant unless a mod has been recently released.. It doenst have coop in sp.

why dedi server? Allows better costumisation + the fact taht it uses proper redirect for costum maps etc.

In client, its easy to mess up ini anyway.

Also, Pointing this fact out:

UT99/2004 Q3Arena engine game are one of the easiest dedi servers to setup.

From a link on UnrealAdmin regarding getting a server running[www.unrealadmin.org]:

"So when you forward ports, make sure you forward UDP (not TCP) ports 7777-7779, 7780 and 8777. You will see if you need to allow outgoing connections to 27900 by checking the server browser for your server. If it shows up already, you don't need to do anything about it. The only TCP port you need to forward is the one you assigned as ListenPort for [UWeb.WebServer]."

Basically:

• Access your router, assuming you're using one, and go to the "Port Forwarding/Port Triggering" section. UPDATE: If you're connected to your router directly, you should be able to find the IP to connect to in a web browser, by following this article: http://www.howtogeek.com/233952/how-to-find-your-routers-ip-address-on-any-computer-smartphone-or-tablet/
  
• You will find a button/option "Add Custom Service" or "Add New Service." There, you will be able to add a rule that allows specific ports to be forwarded on your router. These settings may also appear under a section called "Port Forwarding/Triggering" or "Security."
  
• Forward the following ports, and set them as UDP: Ports 7777-7779 (should allow you to open a range of ports), then in another rule 7780, then in another one 8777, and in the last one 27900. Again, these should all be UDP ports, not TCP.
  
• You might have to set up similar rules for your Firewall. If you're using Windows 7, I can help you out with this, it's not too difficult. After you have opened all these ports on your router, give it a shot and see if your server is up and running/showing on the browser (remember to tick, "advertise server" when starting your server!)
  
• If you can, try getting a friend who has the game to connect to your server. All you need is your external IP address; give that to them, and have them type in console: open yourIPaddress
  
  Feel free to add me as a friend if you need help with this!
