Title: Announcer
Post by: Xmair on Nov 01, 2015, 09:06 AM
I was trying to host my server from the vps @S.L.C gave me and this error occurs.

Socket error 2 was encountered while trying to announce to master.vc-mp.ovh.

Will attempting to ping the announce server again in 150 seconds.

Everything works fine except it doesn't shows in the masterlist.
Another question: How to keep it 24/7. Any command?

Try updating the announce plugin or wait for 150 seconds or restart your server

announcer: master.vc-mp.org timed out while trying to reach your server; are your ports forwarded?

Check your firewall then.

Why the fuck you don't understand this is linux, Not a windows vps, Please fuck off @Spidey and don't ever reply to my topics, just create a new one.
@KAKAN , I tried the both.

Actually the worst plugin is the announcer one.
You can search for "announcer" in the forum, I'm sure, you're going to get more than 5 results.

No it's not.
All those problems are solved by:
1. Getting a proper ISP that allows port forwarding.
2. Port forwarding.
3. Using the latest plugin.

I've yet to see an announcer problem that isn't solved by those 3 solutions.
The fact the browser doesn't show it in the internet list is another problem, since the server is actually announced properly. As my checker proves.



On topic: Make sure you use the latest plugin, and try adding announce_verbose true in your server.cfg and show the output.

My server is getting announced here:-
master.vc-mp.ovh/servers
I have tried adding announce_verbose in my script, it doesn't help

@KAKAN - announce_verbose true//Is true part missing ?
Title: Re: Announcer
Post by: KAKAN on Nov 02, 2015, 04:13 PM
That true part is not needed. You can have a look at the source
