How to set up a (public) XMage server

[thriller22]

Hello, my problem is like avaleth. I set up everything and i can connect from my computer with client and server running at the same time. Either with 127.0.0.1 & hosts/dns-name. but my brother from outside cannot connect(server might be offline). So now I have some questions, i the hopes of resolving my problem. 1. Do I need this hosts entry for anything else but me being able to connect with my dns-name instead of "localhost"? 2. is the entry "127.0.0.1 dns-name" sufficient/correct? 3. why do i need to specify the dns name in the config file?
besz regards. thanks for any help in advance.

This tripped me up too. The address that has to be added to your hosts file is your internal IP. I picked up a dynamic dns address to point to my external address. then specifically pointed it to my internal address on the hosts file.
------------------------
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

#Special Hosts for Xmage Server
#
#
192.168.1.15 xmageplayersmtg.----.---

Then this in the xmage server config

<server serverAddress="xmageplayersmtg.ddns.net"
serverName="XmagePlayersMTG-Server"
port="17171"
secondaryBindPort="17175"

Hi, for my part, even if I enter the server adress in the system32/drivers/etc/host, it doesn't work... I "disable" the nat and use DMZ and it's the same result... when I enter the server adress in the config file exemple(dot)ddns(dot)net, it said server failed to start.... I owned in the past a world of warcraft, final fantasy XI and a minecraft server and I never run into a problem like that... I work as a computer technician and I can't figure it out and that's bugging me...

Good Afternoon,

I used this guide to create the server on a Linux VM. Everything is running and working, users are able to connect etc. However, I don't see any instructions about admin capabilities, for example, how would I kick/ban a disruptive user from the server?

Is there a list of Admin commands, or a way to manage the server from XMAGE Client?

Thanks,

Kibbz

There is a "Mage Server Console" project and program. But because it's not distributed with the xmage release you have to start it from a dev environment (e.g. from Netbeans).

Where can I get the program/project?

You can download admin console app from that github topic (you can request new build in that issue too).

Hello boys

I managed to mount the server in Windows 10 Pro. It works all the only inconvenience that when logging into the server if I do not press the enter key on the server CMD, it does not respond, if I press enter on the CMD window of the server if it responds. Taking that out works everything perfect. Any suggestions?

What you mean by "responds"? You must test server with connected client, not by command line (command line is just output window for logs without input).

My english sucks but you can understand

I explain:

I open the server

Then I connect to the server

Until there everything ok.

I can play everything works perfect

If I disconnect and try to re-enter. It does not connect but does not throw any error. It stays like "thinking"

I go to the window where the server logs appear.

I press enter on the same window. After that I instantly connect to the server.

As if it were in a "sleep" mode

[JayDi]

I've got it. Well, I can't help with it -- it's windows sleep mode feature and java. Not xmage. Created github issue.

[BabaRey]

Ok, no problem, then I'll mount it on Linux.

Another question, is there a way to add new cubes (drafts) to the database? because there are outdated ones. As for example: Cube Modern by magic online

[JayDi]

You can play any custom cube from any cards (there are special cube type to select). If you want new standard cube then you can create pull request or issue on github.

Try run simple command without startup file:

Code: Select all

java -Xms256M -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Djava.security.policy=./config/security.policy -Dlog4j.configuration=file:./config/log4j.properties -jar ./lib/mage-server-1.4.42.jar
