[bf1942] server fail?

[Dave Stone]

Aubrey,

Yea just ignor that.

Few things to check:

Make sure your ServerSettings.con file has the "game.serverInternet" set to
"1" not "0" or it will not show up in ASE. I don't use gamespy but I'm
pretty sure it should work the same.

"game.serverInternet 1"

You wont get a prompt after all of the errors and that is normal too. Just
run ps or top to see if the server is running.

I run screen, start the server, detach and then the server doesn't die when
you logout.

Hope this helps,

StOnE
