[HELP] Play custom zombie with friends on T4 (WAW)

Dss0

Minasteritt i'd assume without hosting a server all your friends have to install the maps too and before starting the match (or joining it) one has to load the mod/maps from the mods menu first.

Minasteritt

Dss0 The problem is, at the moment where i load a mod, the game do not even give me the option to create a private match, i only have the solo option

If you prefer, when i load the mod, it seems like i don't get access to any server anymore..

Dss0

Minasteritt hmm.. you could try this:

set up your private match the way you want
open the console and type

fs_game mods/modname;vid_restart;map mp_moddedmap;xpartygo

replace modname with the name of the mod in %localappdata%/Plutonium/storage/t4/mods and mp_moddedmap with the name of the map that comes with the mod

Minasteritt

Dss0 Ok i will try that, last question, do you know how to know every time the custom map name that i need to type ? Because sometimes they don't have the same name in game and in console command, i don't know if you see what i mean

Dss0

Minasteritt check the folder of the mod, it usually has a mod.ff and then a ff for the map.

Minasteritt

Dss0 Ok so i tried it with and without charging the mod map, the game crash in the two option.

I typed : fs_game mods/Clinic Of Evil;vid_restart;map mp_sanatorium;xpartygo

Clinic Of Evil for the map folder name, sanatorium for the console command map name.

If you have any other idea i take it, maybe we should search why the game start thinking i'm offline when i charge a mod into it ??

Thanks a lot for you help btw, i think it will help a lot of other people if we found a solution for this problem, bc i search on Google and YouTube and nobody know why it's doing this..

Dss0

Minasteritt can you send me a link to the map/mod you're using so i can test? I think the "offline" thing is just caused by those modified menus that come with the map.

Dss0 Clinic Of Evil : https://www.ugx-mods.com/forum/map-releases/29/release-clinic-of-evil-updated-05112018/11551/

PS : You need UGX Map Manager for installing Requiem.

I'm really touched by the time you spend to help me, you have all my love for real.

Dss0

Minasteritt yea so that way won't work. Only way i see this working is via the private match/lan play option they put in the menu, idk if all maps have this tho. In clinic of evil you can go to cooperative -> host lan, you then need to change the mode to zombies in game setup and start the match via

xpartygo

your friends also have to load the mod and then should be able to connect to you via ip (https://www.whatsmyip.org/)

connect yourip

for this to work you most likely have to forward port 28960 udp tho. If you don't know how: https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-port-forward-4163829

Minasteritt

Dss0 Hi there sorry for the late response.

So i tried to port forward but the problem is i'm not able to put the "28960" value on the External port, only one the Internal port.

I'm able to put the "28960" value on both only if the protocol is on TCP, not if it is on UDP or TCP/UDP.

Do you think i can put something like :

Internal port : 28960

External port : 28959

Because when i do it there is no more conflict, enven on TCP/UDP.

If you have any explanation i take it, thanks for your time..

Dss0

Minasteritt you don't need to set an external port, that's fine. you also shouldn't set an "external ip" if you have that option. All you need is protocol, internal ip and internal port.

Minasteritt

Dss0 Ok, it's asking me that i must put a value on the external port anyway, what value can i put in it that don't change anything ?

Minasteritt

Dss0 What's your name on the Discord ? I just join it maybe i can send you a picture of what i did and the error, my name is KD

Dss0

Minasteritt well it should be the same port.. if you use a different external port nobody will be able to connect. what if you only set external and not internal? which router do you use?

Minasteritt

Dss0 Ok i understand the thing.

There is already a rule in upnp that put 28960 on both port (it's Plutonium rule who make it automaticly), that's why i can't create an other one.

I think there is no possibility, to solve it..

Dss0

Minasteritt well if that's there then it might already work. upnp is basically automatic port forwarding. Test with your friends.

Minasteritt

Dss0 I juste tested and it's not functionning

I don't know why it's doing this only on mods game, did that worked on your side when you tested ?

Dss0

Minasteritt so just to be sure: you loaded the mod, went to lan play and started a match via xpartygo then your friend also loaded the mod and tried to join you via the friendlist on the F10 menu? it timed out?

i didn't test connecting to the match.

Minasteritt

Dss0 Yes that's what i did and my friend always get the message "The server you tried to join is not ready. Try joining another server."

What i did is (correct me if i made shit lmao) :

Start the game > Load the mod > Coop > Host a game in local networks (PS : no other option are available since the game think i'm offline) > Select the Zombie mod & map > Launch with "xpartygo"

Then my friend join and get always immediatly this error (there is no loading screen, the error message instantly appear)..

Dss0

Minasteritt yea it might just not be possible then.. host a dedicated server instead.
