Server master port?

Hello,

What port master servers are listening?
My firewall blocks the port, because I see, on the console, this error:

Sys_SendPacket: Operation not permitted

EDIT : It is 27950. It will be nice to note this on the documentation (ports to open).

Thanks for your help.

Re: Server master port?

According to the ET GPL Source code:

#define PORT_MASTER         27950

This is the destination port, packets are (I think) sent through the ET server's public port.

N!tmod also sends packets to ETMods.net master server, destination port: 8475 (for tracking player stats, aliases...). These packets are sent through a random port, which can change on every map restart.
We couldn't use a static port beacuse multiple ET servers can be hosted on the same IP and that would have caused conflicts, so we're using a random one...

Re: Server master port?

My server is not listed.
On my server's config, I have:

set sv_master1 "master.etlegacy.com"
set sv_master2 "master.etmods.net"
set sv_master3 "master0.etmaster.net"
set sv_master4 "etmaster.idsoftware.com"
set sv_master5 "clanservers.net"

For the random port, why don't create a cvar to handle this?

Re: Server master port?

master.etmods.net is useless, we do not host this kind of master server.
To be honest, none of the "sv_master*" cvars are set on my server, and it is instantly listed.
Maybe it takes some time to populate the list ?

Because i'm affraid most admins will not even bother and leave it on the default value, even when running multiple servers on the same IP...

Re: Server master port?

And with an optional cvar?
set n_svmaster "" // random port
set n_svmaster "0" // random port || disable
set n_svmaster "1" // random port
set n_svmaster "-1" // random port
set n_svmaster "27950" // random port and error
set n_svmaster "9856" // ok

It's not possible for you to check if a port is available? (I don't know what is the language used by nitmod to find it for you.) Or use the same port as sv_master* servers (start the port after using sv_master* servers) ?
