Initial Setup

 

Firstly you will need to download the appropriate server package. This will depend on your OS (Operating System). The downloads page can be found HERE:

http://www.sa-mp.com/download.php

 

You will now be presented with a screen with downloads for the Client and Server.

Scroll down until you see the following screen.

 

 

From here choose your server package and download it by clicking on the coloured text under the package name.

 

After extracting you should now have a new folder somewhere // list of files of the SAMP Server, if so, you have extracted correctly. Now when you open the folder you will see something like this.

Hosting on a Home Computer

 

If you do decide to host off your home computer then there are a few things you must do.

 

Port Forward TutoriaL - STATIC IP

 

Firstly, portforwarding is the process of unblocking ports in a firewall/router/modem/hub, etc. This allows programs to send and receive data through these ports. Most routers/modems/firewalls will need some sort of port-forwarding to allow applications to run correctly. Remember, these ports are usually blocked for reason, safety first! Unblocking these ports allows anyone to send data through them (if they know your ip and port number that is).

 

To unblock a port there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration:

 

    * Are you competent enough to go fiddling with your home router's settings?

    * Can you set up a static network(internal) ip for your computer?

    * Are you willing to leave yourself open to all kinds of viruses that COULD be transmitted to your computer through your open ports?

 

 

If your answer to all these questions are yes, then lets continue.

 

Firstly, you will need your network (internal) ip address.

This will look something like 192.168.0.x

But they do vary according to router/modem etc.

To do this you need to open up a handy little tool called command prompt

With this you can do lots of computer-based things. But for now, we will only be discussing how to obtain your private network ip address.

 

To find command prompt you need to do the following:

 

For Windows Vista and XP Users:

 

1. Open the Start Menu

2. Select All Programs

3. Select Accessories

4. Select Command Prompt

 

Good, now after that you should have a nice black window showing on your screen with lots of pretty writing. rolleyes

 

Command Prompt:

 

 

Now if you have this showing or some other variation (for Windows Vista users it may look SLIGHTLY different) then we are ready for the next step.

If you DONT then go back and follow the steps.

 

Now into Command Prompt type the following

 

ipconfig

 

Then hit the enter key.

 

You will see some more lovely writing now appearing

 

ipconfig

On your computer you will most likely see more network adaptors listed than in the above pic.

 

Now you need to determine what adaptor you use for your internet connection, this should be pretty obvious as most of the others will say media disconnected.

 

When you have found your correct network adaptor you need to then find the line ipv4 address this will be followed by an ip address which corresponds to your computer. The default gateway address, this is the address of your router/modem, keep this in mind as you will need it for the next part.

 

Now that you have obtained both addresses you need to now visit this site.

 

www.portforward.com

 

This site shows how a variety of routers can be portforwarded for a multitude of games.

 

Now goto http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm

 

Choose your router model and follow the onscreen instructions.

 

Bearing in mind the ip address of your router is the address shown as default gateway in the command prompt screen. The ports you need to forward will be the default SAMP ports in your script (If you haven't altered the port settings then this will be port 7777)

 

Hopefully after doing this you will now have forwarded the correct ports to the correct IP address of your computer.

 

After you have done this you may want to gather a few friends and test it out. Get them to try and join the server, and if all was done correctly then they will be able to join.

Or if you dont have any friends just ask some people you know.

 

Configuring The Server

 

Once you have completed all of the above it is now time to set up your server.

 

 

Editing the Server Config File

 

Open up your server folder and you should see a "Server.cfg" file. Right click the file and click Open With. Choose either Wordpad or Notepad from the list and Select Ok.

 

You will now be presented with a screen like this.

 

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll96/xClumx/serverconfig.jpg[/img]

 

Brief explanation of the Server.cfg File

 

Lanmode defines whether or not the server can be accessed from the internet. 0 being Yes, 1 being No

Rcon_password defines the password which Administrators will use to admin the server using the Rcon screen

Maxplayers defines the Maximum amount of players that can join your server (200 being the maximum amount)

Port defines the port number which clients will connect to your server with. (MUST be the same as the forwarded port)

Hostname defines the name of the server as seen from the Internet List//Favourites List

Gamemode(number) defines the Gamemodes which will appear on the server.

Filterscripts defines the Filterscripts which will be used on the server

Announce defines whether or not the server will show up on the Internet list (1 for yes, 0 for no)

Query this can be deleted from the .cfg file (Not needed)

Weburl defines the website which will be displayed on the servers mini-information section

Anti-cheat should be 0 (Ant-cheat was removed from SAMP)

 

When you have set the .cfg file to your needs. Save it.

 

Now click on the samp_Server.exe file and you should get a black DOS screen like this.

 

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll96/xClumx/dosscreen.jpg[/img]

 

 

Of course, this is running a default gamemode.

 

If when you try to open the Samp_Server.exe file, the screen immediately closes consult the Server_log file.

 

The most common problems are things such as.

 

Error: Your password must be changed from the default password, please change it.

 

Change your Rcon Password!

 

[12:33] I couldn't load any gamemode scripts. Please verify your server.cfg

[12:33] It needs a gamemode0 line at the very least.

 

Add a 0 to the gamemode statement

 

**Note** The Announce.exe file does NOT need to be opened too, if you try to do so, the screen will immediately close. Announce.exe will be opened automatically when Announce 1 is set in the Server.cfg file.

 

Testing the Server

 

Now to see if the server works!

 

If this server is running from your computer and you want to join then add the IP 127.0.01 into your favourites list.

 

For your friends to join, you need to obtain your External IP from here.

 

Then give them the IP and Port number. (IP:Port Number) E.g 123.123.123.345:7777

 

If you or your friends can't join the server, then you will need to check the Port-Forwarding//Firewalls section again.

 

However, if the server is from a paid host, then they should supply you with an IP address. Add that to your favourites list and join.

 

If you need help, remember to contact your host!

 

I'm pretty sure there's a few things missing from this, so if you find anything missing tell me and i'll add it to the tut, with credit to you.
