Hello, its yet another unreachable server problem. I've spent the past 8 hours researching and forum crawling for every possible solution within and outside the tes3mp/openmw communities. I'm not sure if there even is a fix for this issue I'm having, but I'm willing to try.
I believe the server I'm running is not even trying to receive outside players. I'm running the 0.47.0 openmw with the 0.8.1 tes3mp, non-VR. I initially started with my port 1802 open for the server, which didn't work over the course of troubleshooting for 3 hours. So I tried with 25565 where it has been for the past 5 hours. I've forwarded both TCP and UDP. Port checking websites are either down and not telling me, or they're not actually forwarded. Considering my earlier 1802 port had worked in the past for other software that needs forwarding, I doubt my ISP is blocking anything. I have opened those ports in my own computers firewall both TCP and UDP. I have a static local IP, so nothing wonky there.
The server default local address is properly set to 0.0.0.0 and the port is also appropriately set to 25565. Other than the host name, max players, and the password, its all default.
Code: Select all
[General]
# The default localAddress of 0.0.0.0 makes the server reachable at all of its local addresses
# You almost never have to change this
localAddress = 0.0.0.0
port = 25565
maximumPlayers = 2
hostname = My Server Name
# 0 - Verbose (spam), 1 - Info, 2 - Warnings, 3 - Errors, 4 - Only fatal errors
logLevel = 1
password = (its a secret, shhh)
[Plugins]
home = ./server
plugins = serverCore.lua
[MasterServer]
enabled = true
address = master.tes3mp.com
port = 25561
rate = 10000
There is one last hope. I started changing my port after my friend went to bed, so it is possible that for no discernable reason changing the port from 1802 to 25565 might have made things work, and that my view from the server browser is simply bugged and is actually working for others and I just don't know. Wont know until tomorrow. Assuming it doesn't work for now, does anyone have any suggestions short of scream crying at my ISP to find out if they're blocking stuff for no reason.
At the very least, thanks to anyone for taking the time to have a read.
