Local Master Server

I'm working on running LAN parties without being connected to the internet to reduce server list clutter. So far, I've downloaded the DPMaster master server and simply run the executable on my Windows 7 PC. After disconnecting from the internet, no luck. My first thought is to head to the Nexuiz server source code and change the master server to my PC's IP address. Problem is, I cannot get anything to compile for the life of me (I've attempted compiling source codes before, unmodified using MinGW). In short, not online, server running, DPMaster running on default settings, no server list. My dedicated server spams about not being able to connect to a socket. Users on the network can connect directly through IP still. How does one go about setting up a custom, local master server that actually works?

Re: Local Master Server

The Nexuiz client should be able to discover LAN servers on its own, you may need to set
  Code:
sv_public 1
on the server.

When launching the Nexuiz client on Windows, I think you could append
  Code:
+sv_master1 <your address>

Re: Local Master Server

  Code:
sv_public 1
is already set.

I fire up the master server and set sv_master1 to my address, however the DPMaster spits back something about not being IPV6 compatible.

Re: Local Master Server

The IPv6 warning isn't a problem. (Although I wonder if dpmaster can support Teredo tunneling)
The local servers may also need the sv_master1 cvar to be set.

Another alternative is to create shortcuts to connect to local servers, e.g.,
  Code:
nexuiz.exe -basedir "/Game Program Files/Nexuiz/" +connect 10.0.0.170:26002

Re: Local Master Server

Ok, so I have DPMaster running. My server is sending heartbeats properly. Should the users be able to automatically view my server in the list or do they need the sv_master1 set to my IP as well?

Actually, I would recommend:
  Code:
+set sv_master1 <your address>
since the sv_master* cvars may not be saved in the configuration file.

Did you solve your problem eventually gerbilOFdoom?

Re: Local Master Server

No, my need for a master server has diminished. The event has come and passed so I haven't spent time getting it to work.

Re: Local Master Server

Oh :( Sorry to have spotted this thread so late. I'm rarely on those forums.

For the record, I confirm that the warning regarding IPv6 shouldn't be a problem.
As for Teredo support, I certainly didn't code a single line for it, so I doubt it works ;) Honestly, it doesn't seem like a useful feature to add, but maybe I'm mistaken.
