The Master List

Agent Buckshot Moose · 12-29-2012, 12:04 AM

I tried setting up a new server today, and got it working. Except: it won't show up in the steam master list.

The server's config file includes the alleged fix stickied in this forum, but that doesn't work either. I've also tried several other solutions from the Internet and can't find anything.

When I run the Orangebox srcds for HL2DM, the server shows up in the master list. It also outputs a message in my console telling me the public IP and the anonymous steam ID for the server.

So, a few questions:

1. Should FF servers that are working properly show the public IP and an anonymous steam ID in the console?
2. Are there any other possible solutions, no matter how esoteric, to the master server list problem?

My server's environment:

Cloud VPS behind a virtual router. Ports 26000 to 28000 are currently forwarded for TCP and UDP.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server.
ufw firewall with the same ports opened. The behavior is the same with or without the firewall up.

server.cfg:

Code:

hostname "The Ice Fortress"
rcon_password "xxxx"
sv_password ""
mp_timelimit                            20

log on
sv_logecho 1
sv_logbans 1
sv_logfile 1
sv_log_onefile 1


sv_cheats                               0
sv_master_legacy_mode 0
heartbeat

Sorry, no help. I thought this was going to be about

You need to forward packets not forward ports.. though this should not be the issue. Check ur I/O policys
Code:
iptables -vLalso with server running
Code:
netstat -tnul

I'm not a linux god.. but I'll ask a few guys at work who only work with linux. Though it seems only specific to Steam and Source though u can do it on HL2DM which uses the same source engine as FF.

Try:
setmaster add hl2master.steampowered.com
heartbeat

Also, may be a stupid question but is your server updated to the latest steam version?

iptables (administered by ufw) is turned off currently.
The currently forwarded ports are: 27015, 27011, 27016, 27020

Edit: the cloud host does have a separate security policy from its port forwarding though. Currently, the same ports above are opened.

Netstat output:

Code:

Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State

udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:26901           0.0.0.0:*

Looks fine I think.

I have tried the setmaster thing before, but I will try it again. Here is the end of my cfg file now:

Code:

sv_master_legacy_mode 0
setmaster add hl2master.steampowered.com
heartbeat

Adding that setmaster call produced output "Master at 208.64.200.52:27011 already in list" in the server console. However, it still does not show up in the master list as far as I can see.

Updated version: I think it is. The the server starts with -autoupdate, and I've updated the episode1 game as well.

I made one at work with the following ports open on our DMZ firewall during a virtual environment.

Steam Friends Service UDP 1200 1200
Steam Main UDP UDP 27000 27015
Steam Main TCP TCP 27020 27039
Steam CyberCafe TCP 27040 27041
Steam Dedicated Server HLDS, SRCDS UDP 27015 27015
Steam Dedicated Server HLTV UDP 27020 27020
Steam SRCDS Rcon TCP 27015 27015

It shows up in the list with: In server config with the rest being defaults.
setmaster add hl2master.steampowered.com
heartbeat

Let me know the results.

Read some other people with the same issue.. this is not recommended solution, but see if it works.

setmaster add 216.207.205.99:27011
setmaster add 216.207.205.98:27011
setmaster add hl2master.steampowered.com
setmaster enable 216.207.205.99:27011
setmaster enable 216.207.205.98:27011
setmaster enable hl2master.steampowered.com
heartbeat

This should add it to the master list.. though it already said that yours was so that is another issue..
