Masterlist

We have cracked our server and switched from a Windows server to linux, but the server only stays in the masterlist for 4 hours after which the server is no longer displayed there.

What game?
Server with libcod?
What libcod version if exist?

if libcod from voron, check sv_noauthorize (set to "0" if are "1")

We are using libcod from voron "libcod2_1_3.so" latest version from github (nomysql-Version)

But no "Sending heartbeat to cod2master.activision.com" :(

Servers stays online over IP and Port all the time but does not show up in masterlist.

No iptables rules for cracked players defined, because we read they are not nessesary if using latest libcod versions. (Ports 28960tcp/udp,20500/udp,20510/udp are opened...)

Cracked players can connect and get GUID 0
Original players can connect and get their real GUID

Tested cod2_lnxded_1_3_nodelay_va_loc and original version cod2_lnxded same result no apperance in masterserverlist

Code:

---

export LD_PRELOAD="$PATH/libcod2_1_3.so"
$PATH/cod2_lnxded_1_3_nodelay_va_loc +set fs_homepath $MAINPATH +set net_ip x.x.x.x +set net_port $PORT +set dedicated 2 +set sv_cracked 1 +sv_noauthorize 0 +set fs_game $MOD +exec $CONFIGNAME >> $LOGFILEPATH/$LOGFILENAME.log 2>&1 &

Read this upper me

Check sv_master1...2..3..4..5 cvars. Make sure sv_master0 is set to cod2master.activision.com. Also don't use a modded binary with llibcod, libcod already has all necessary patches in it (va, localized messages, etc.) and make sure sv_noauthorize is set to 0.

Thank you i figured out what the problem was...

I ported my serverconfig.cfg from Cod2 v1.2 to v1.3 without doing any changes...

So i used it like it was years ago...

Code:

---

//Master-Server
seta sv_master0 "cod2master.activision.com"
//seta sv_master1 "master0.gamespy.com"
//seta sv_master2 "master1.gamespy.com"
//seta sv_master3 "cod2authorize.activision.com"
//seta sv_master4 "cod2master.infinityward.com"

And without libcod it is no problem, but it looks like libcode need it to be sv_master1 :)

So this works for me...

Code:

---

seta sv_master1 "cod2master.activision.com"
+sv_noauthorize 0
+set sv_cracked 1
