RW Master Server Problem

by Nick Merrill · in Torque Game Engine · 06/22/2004 (10:02 am) · 6 replies

Alright, so I have a realmwars build here. Pretty much the straight dope, with an addition to make terrain stop repeating. That's it. I set up a dedicated server, and have it look for the master, which it does just fine. My master server is the PERL MS (which I highly reccomend). The dedicated server sends the heartbeat, the master server receives the heartbeat. So that's good, but when I fire up the .exe aned go to query the master, nothing happens. Any ideas? Thanks. :)

Is the client trying to connect to the right MS?

Yep, 127.0.0.1:7777. Or, at least that's what the dedicated server's connecting to. But it should be the same, correct? If not, where can I change it?

Thanks in advance :)

Oh, and as a note, it also works when on a different server, but quering the master still doesn't work.

127.0.0.1 is the localhost IP address, it is non-routable. If your client is on a seperate PC and uses that IP, it will try to talk to itself. You need the network IP address of the masterserver PC.

All components are on my PC. Master server, dedicated server, and client.
