Server admin notes: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Running a Master Sword server behind a firewall: With Half-life and other mods, if you are running a server behind a firewall you simply need to open port 27015 so that people can play. Master Sword requires that ports 2200 and 2400 also be open. If they aren't, people can join your server, but will be stuck at a black loading screen with no progress bar, and will not be able to play. There is also a server CVAR called MS_IP. MS_IP MUST BE SET TO YOUR OUTSIDE IP ADDRESS!! You outside IP address is the address people on the internet use to connect to your server. Example: 209.142.6.98. If you are behind a firewall, this CVAR will be automatically be set to your LOCAL IP instead of your outside IP. If it starts with 127.0.x.x, 192.168.x.x or 169.254.x.x and you plan on running an internet server, then you need to change it to your outside ip. Example: "MS_IP 209.142.6.98" If you have a static IP (never changes), you can put this line in server.cfg so that it will set the correct IP each time you run a dedicated server.
