Thread: [Release] Guide to a public server non-hamichi 100% working

first I know this was posted already "by me" I am moving my guide to every emu website so that everyone can learn how to portfoward on there routers and enable public use of services.


How to Make Your Server Public Without Hamachi. (THIS GUIDE ACTUALLY WORKS)


SOME INFO

Im tired of guids being posted that only show parts of what needs to be done. some guides will show you just change the realm.cofig there will be about 10k views and about 500 coments with people needing help. Not with this one it is as well put as can be and you will be sure to get it public with this guide

Step 1 part one) Sign Up: DNS Service.


Goto DynDNS: Dynamic DNS, E-Mail Delivery and Other Services and sign up for an account. Verify the account by checking the email and clicking the link.

Hostname: this is the realmlist players will use to connect to you, and also what you use to forward some information in your config files.
This is your DNS SERVER

Step 1 part two) get aPen and a peace of Paper: To Write this down

Write down the DNS server you made in step 1a).
Write down 127.0.0.1
Write down 0.0.0.0

Now open up a command promt (Windows key + r) (cmd) and type



ipconfig/all



This will list a bunch of connections, and their protocols.
You are looking for this:



Your NUMBERS should look different, but they are in the SAME AREA.
WRITE THEM DOWN!!.


NEXT



Step 1 part three) IP ADDY




IP Chicken - Whats my IP address? ip address lookup




So by now you should have 3 sets of numbers written down and the DNS Server.

To make it simple for the rest of this guide, we will name the numbers you wrote down

127.0.0.1 = localIP (not needed YET in this guide, may edit later)
192.168.1.x = routerIP (3 on the pic)
192.168.1.X = MYIP (2 on the pic)
(value from chickenIP) =ChickenIP
DNSSERVER = DNSRV




Step 2 part 1) PORT FORWARDING
LOMG!!!!





In your address bar type the value you wrote down that was DEFAULT GATEWAY.
The login/password information should be one of these combinations. IF non of these work, press and hold the RESET button on your ROUTER for 30 seconds until it resets. Usually the POWER light will start blinking and then go steady again.

Login Pass
Admin Admin <-- most of the time.
Admin (none)
(none) (none)
(Admin) (password)

Now, find out by looking around and clicking links on how to PORT FORWARD. Mine was under a tab called Applications and Gaming.

Forward the ports shown in the below image.



Make the protocol selection BOTH. If you don’t have a choice, leave it blank, this usually also does TCP/UDP.

Step 2 part 2) Hosts File



Goto
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
And open the file
Hosts



Now you need to write THREE THINGS!!

127.0.0.1 yourservername.hostnameyouchose
Router IP yourservername.hostnameyouchose
CHICKENIP yourservername.hostnameyouchose

It should look similar to this ^


Code: to show which goes with which this is not the corret format below u must substitute you dns host name and ips in.

127.0.0.1 gmtricks.servegame.org
192.168.1.1 gmtricks.servegame.org
64.178.156.20 gmtricks.servegame.org

SAVE AND EXIT.

Step 3 part one) Config Files

Go into your ascent folder and open your 3 config files (realms, logon, world)



World:
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-
<WorldDatabase Hostname = "DNSSVR" Username = "root" Password = "****" Name = "world" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "lDNSSVR" Username = "root" Password = "****" Name = "world" Port = "3306" Type = "1">





logon
<LogonDatabase Hostname = "DNSSVR"
Username = "root"
Password = "edwin"
Name = "world"
Port = "3306"
Type = "1">

change these to your chicken ip

AllowedIPs = "127.0.0.1/32"
AllowedModIPs = "127.0.0.1/32">

realm

<Realm1 Name = "Your Realm Name" Address = "DNSVR:8129" Icon = "Normal" Colour = "1" Population = "1.0" TimeZone = "1">
YOU NEED THE :8129
make this your dnsaname also
<Realm1 Name = "Middle Earth"
Address = "DNSSVR:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "0"
TimeZone = "1">

<Realm2 Name = "Middle Earth"
Address = "DNSSVR:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "0"
TimeZone = "1">Code:

Step 3 part 2) seting the Realmlist

Now you open your realmlist.wtf file and input this


Code:
set realmlist DNSSVR

ex set realmlist make it your DNSSVR
