Cool, glad to hear you managed to sort it.

Just wanted to chime in here and say that I fixed it!

There was a port that daemon was using for the server that I had no forwarded through my firewall. I've done that, and I can now connect through the global list.

The server name is First Strike Server. I'm running all of the coop maps with about 24 bots.

Well,

I've tried just about everything to be able to connect. I've opened all the ports, turned off all firewalls, etc. Nothing seems to allow people to connect.

Sorry guys!

Good to see you Caam!

Thanks for checking in on that. I think my router is still blocking incoming connections, because I can only connect to the server through a LAN it seems. I'll check it again tonight.

Hi Kampher, thanks for putting the server up! I tried to connect but i get the following message:

"You have failed to connect. Please check your network connection(s) and try again."

I tried a vanilla server and was able to connect without any problems.

Would anyone be so kind as to try and login to the Server? It's been running without issue for 24 hours, but I don't know if anyone can connect yet.

Everything was good on my end though.

Finally! I had to enter in my local router IP in order to login to the Daemon, which has the mod option to change the maps.

Thank you very much Twigs. I believe everything is working now. Please feel free to try and connect and let me know if it works.

And no problem Talon. I figured it was best to have something running for the public!

Thanks for taking the time and effort to get another server up for while we're testing, much appreciated Kampher.

This one may not be so clear, let me know if you want a link.

That would be great!

As I said its either map list or control. Can try and post some pics up later if it helps?

Hmm. It seems that there is no option to change mods anywhere in the Map List area. All I can see are the default maps and no mod changing option.

Then I tried to just ditch BF2142cc and use the Launcher after putting the FS server files in, and the server list is Red and thinks I'm using an older client. Very odd, and frustrating.

Now, access your server, navigate to the BF2142 folder section, and open the folder 'mods' then BF2142. Navigate to and open the folder 'settings', hopefully you will have a file in there called modmanager.con. Copy this file to your computer desktop. Close down settings, and navigate back to your server directory, BattleField2142/mods folder.

Move your copied modmanager.con file from your desktop to desktop/FirstStrike/settings (ie the same place you found it in your servers BF2142 folder!).

If you have already put modmanager.con in there then you are good to go. Just log in via 2142CC, then go to map control (or map list, always get those two confused). You should have two tabs in the main box, one for selecting the mod and one for selecting the map type (conquest, coop etc). Hit the clear maplist button to remove the default 2142 maps, then change the mod to FirstStrike. Select the game mode you want then drag the maps across to the right hand pane. In the right hand pane you can also change the map size.

Once done, click save on the bottom bar, then hit apply profile. It should say profile successfully applied or something. Then either restart the server to see the new profile take effect or use map list to change to the next map. I believe you will need to restart the server though when changing mods from BF2142 to FS.

Finally got it! It was some obscure password in that default file in BF2142cc.

Now I just need to figure out how to change the mod over to First Strike. Everything else is working just fine now.

I think it needs to be extracted to the server folder, at least there is one set in my server files.
