I'm ready to try to go public but

[spldart]

I'm running into libcurl errors.

I'm using these commands
-public "blah blah" and
-publicaddr 67.10.210.195:5123

I ran some -ds in the conf file and I see that the last thing it hits before it tries to close is a libcurl problem when I attempt to use the above -public commands

Any help?

[spldart]

With this:

-publicaddr 67.10.210.195:5123

I get:
********************************************
Running a public server with the following settings:
public address is 67.10.210.195:5123
LIBCURL: (null)
********************************************
And an illegal operation box from windows.

With this:

-public "my home server descriptions"

I get:
********************************************
Running a public server with the following settings:
public address is me.houston.rr.com:5123
LIBCURL: (null)
********************************************
And an illegal operation box from windows.

If I use both instructions the one that comes first gives me the error.

Hope that detail helps

Thanks Bryjen, DTR and wegstar! Problem fixed.

I had to -noMasterBanlist to get up and running.

So your up?

You realize unless you ban someone, everyone (including the filthy cheaters on the master banlist) will be allowed into your server.

I have no alternative. It's apparently a bug many run into on windoze boxen that the masterbanlist crashes bzfs.
I guess I will have to manually ban ip/ipsubnets with my firewall if I get cheater problem.
Any way I can quickly call up everyone's actual IP through the console while logged in as admin?

I immagine you could have compiled the source. On Linux, that's what I had to do. Actually, I still have my friendly libcurl sig

Actually, there in an alternative. The master banlist is here: http://bzflag.org/master-bans.txt . Take it and copy it into a file called "bad_tanks.txt" that is in the same directory as your CONF file. In your conf file, add:

Code: Select all

#Ban File
-banfile "bad_tanks.txt"

Now BZFS will load all the bans in that file. They will not be current to the master banlist unless you re-update manually, but at least you get most of the people. If you create a ban yourself, it will also be added to that file.

Well thanks alot It's done... I appreciate it.
Now I need to go look up some console commands an admin has like how to ban

[spldart]

Oh wait. Do I leave -nomasterbanlist on if I have -banfile "mybanfile.txt"?

[RPG]

Yes, you do. The master ban list and the banfile are two different sources of bans. Even if you disable the master ban list, your ban list will still be loaded.

[spldart]

Again thanks

I don't think i'm advanced enough to compile anything I tried slipstreaming an XP Pro install disc with service packs and where it said it worked it wouldn't run properly And that's with a 'how to' website leading me all the way
