We use Vert and we recently decided to update to the new version of Epoch. Right before we shut down several players expressed their interest into changing to Overpoch and we checked it out and were very happy with it. We had Vert reinstall our service so we could start fresh. I popped Epoch back on and tried to check that everything was working alright when I found our server was no longer listed on Commander. I couldn't log into the server either and Vert reinstalled the service again. I talked with several of our players and after QUITE a few hours and doing everything we could think of we were finally able to get into the server. The downside of this is it takes quite some time to do and the average player is not going to sit around for an hour when there are so many servers available that work with one click. We'd also have to say goodbye to all new players as well. I expressed this to Vert and someone new took a look at the server and realized the steamport was set to 0. They changed it and stated the server should show up on the launchers now. No luck. Here's my current issues:
How do I find my steamport? From what I have read it's supposed to be -2 from the server's port? And the steamQueryPort is -1? Vert had ours set to +2 and +1. I changed them to - and it's still not showing up on the launchers.
Where do I find the server startup parameters?! I feel like I have been through EVERY file in the server and I can't find ANYTHING about this! I've been installing Overpoch and have everything else pretty much down pat but I can't figure out where to add the @Overwatch bit to! I've joined an Overpoch server before so I know I have to add it to my personal launch parameter, but for the life of me I can't figure out what file I need to edit for this. Everyone writes the instructions as if it is super obvious, but I've never touched that before.
I've wasted two days that I had planned spending on script work. It's been so frustrating and I really don't know where else to turn. In 2 years of running this server I've NEVER had anything like this happen before.
