Problems with Locator and MatchAgent

[007bond007]

Hello,

I've been browsing these forums the past few days and trying to get a working Gunz server + client going... I've managed to do so... sort of... I've tried all the different client + servers i can find and tried mixing stuff up and anything I could do this is what i've come up with so far...

Dec 06 server + Client: Works flawlessly after I did some tweaking... EXCEPT I can't use Agent.. and theres a problem with locator but i'm not worried about that right now. My friends and I can't play vs each other or them vs each other. Nobody can see each other.

July 07 Server + Client: Works... has some bugs such as no music, charactor not starting with weapons sometimes... but it DOES work with Agent, and my friends can fight against each other... but they can't see me or I can't see them (and i've forwarded many ports and even tried DMZ and connecting with my public ip and my local lan ip) with my LAN ip on 2 computers on my network they can communicate with each other but not with players connected from the Internet.

Brazil Server: The agent that comes with this does not seem to work with it... it does the same as the dec 06 server with agent... agent just closes after a bit and the Agent count is 0 on the server... also I can't connect using client but i'm not going to fix that unless I can get agent work otherwise its pointless.

I'm using the Etiolated gunz DB... with some fixes applied... it seems to be good but I know I probably need another DB for the brazil one... but.. again.. I need Agent to work... or a workaround so i dont need agent.

Now with the July server using Agent I have tried many many suggestions found on this forum... I think I read just about every thread... tried using 127.0.0.1... localhost... public ip... my hostname for my public ip... and combinations of those... I honestly don't know where to go from here.

Any help from anyone who has successfully created a private server please throw any ideas you have.

Thanks for reading my post, this seems to be a well managed forum.

I changed the thread title. Make it more descriptive next time.

As far as your problems, I've no clue about the Locator problem since you provided no details. For MatchAgent, it seems to only work with the July server, no solution's been found to make it work for the BR release or the December '06 client.

Alright, thanks.. but the reason I diden't provide details about locator is im not concerned with that right now because Agent is the major problem.. as without it it seems I can't have a server in which all players can fight each other.

For Agent, with the July server, it did work for players connecting from the Internet to my server, but they can't see me and vica versa. Is there any work-around to enable me to play on my own server (using a different computer on my network, that is)? I'm beginning to think there is something inside of the exe files or DB that is blocking communication between LAN and WAN clients.

If I need to post the contents of any configuration files I have I can, but bare in mind that I have played with all the IP addresses in the settings files for server, locator, and agent, and the client, right now im using 127.0.0.1 for almost everything except on the client.

Does the database I'm using have an effect on the blocking of the LAN and WAN clients?

Thanks for the reply

Basically, there's really no way to play people on the same computer the server is hosted on short of unhooking the router. Sorry.

It's not on the same "computer" just on the same network as the server. I've even tried VPNing into my server on the network assigning myself an internet-like IP to try and trick Gunz but it doesen't seem to of made any difference.
