Well i think you should have it also.
Note: Supposed to work with CC1 only.
Alright hello everyone!
After some talking with ATracer I heared many people say the Chatserver does not work on external IPs but only local.
I'm here not only to tell you that it DOES work externally, but will also tell you what I did to get my Chatserver working on my External IP.
Alright, because I'm assuming people who read this have no idea on how to get the server working I'll explain every little bit.
Which configs affect the Chatserver?
- There are 3 main configs you configure the chatserver in
chatserver/config/chatserver.properties
gameserver/config/network/network.properties
gameserver/config/main/gameserver.properties
Chatserver.Properties
This is a very simple, straight-forward configfile.
This is how you should fill it in to work externally:
network.properties (gameserver)
this is how it should look:
gameserver.properties
this is how the config should look:
This is copied/pasted from my server folder.
Of course i replaced my IP with EXTERNALIP
Be sure to startup your server in the following order:
1. Login Server
2. Game Server
3. Chat Server
If you do NOT startup the gameserver BEFORE chatserver, your players will not join channels and your chatserver must be restarted to work.
The only issue I have left is that the Chatserver seems to stop working after some time...a chatserver restart fixes it, though.
I hope this has helped you to get your chatserver working on your external IP.
