Unable to create an ENet Server.

Were you able to figure something out?

Can you please post in public, so that others can learn from it too?

Basically if you are behind a router you can't use the public IP, it needs to be the IPv4 Address which is usually 192.168.0.xxx because if a public IP is used then the account server closes up showing an "Unable to create an ENet Server" error in the logs.

But after opening the ports in the router settings and trying to connect to the local server using the IPv4 Address, localhost, Public IP or 127.0.0.1 the client can't connect to the server.

Client v2012.02.29.0313 (nightly).

PS: I also tried different ports with no success.

I think in the nightlies ManaServ support is disabled at compile time (Is ManaServ option in the server combobox?). I am not sure whether there are builds with manaserv enabled. You could try to compile using codeblocks and enabling manaserv support there (-DENABLE_MANASERV=ON on cmake). But I am not sure whether that is possible in the codeblocks files... Or you can try to find someone that can crosscompile for you.

Best regards

Hi,

As requested from Crush, I'll post in public:

The problem is that visaboy seem to be trying to connect to the servers computer using a local ip (192.168.0.x) but from a computer that is external from that network.

I indicated him to try to connect using the public's router ip, after seting up a redirect in the router's config for the manaserv's ports.

Everything is in this document (I'll turn it into a wiki page as soon as I've got the time to):

Like I said, I'm not connecting from any other external network. Everything is running locally and in the same computer, same network, same IP address.

[Ablu]

Does it work now?

[visaboy]

Does it work now?

Still doesn't connect, used the portable mana client, the nightly version, and compiled the client myself. No luck.
Tried different ports, different IPs, excluded the computer from the router and removed all security settings. No luck.

Hi Visaboy,

In the log you posted, Manaserv support is disabled: (And it seems you know it since you put a 'b' tag around it).

Code: Select all

[23:08:29.08] Ignoring server entry with unknown type: manaserv
[23:08:29.08] Ignoring server entry with unknown type: manaserv

Can you tell me, when adding a server if you see manaserv on the server type dropdown box? If not, you'll have to change your compilation options:
https://github.com/mana/mana/blob/maste ... ts.txt#L33

Try those to make it work:

Code: Select all

cmake -DENABLE_MANASERV=on .

Best regards,

Bertram

The option to choose between tmw and manaserv is no longer showing and I'm not really sure where exactly I should enable it.
I have changed OPTION(ENABLE_MANASERV "Enable Manaserv support" OFF) to OPTION(ENABLE_MANASERV "Enable Manaserv support" ON), but that didn't make any difference.

Where do you want me to place the "cmake -DENABLE_MANASERV=on ."?

I'm using Code::Blocks 10.05

Thank you.

[Ablu]

I do not have codeblock installed here. But you could try to edit the mana.cbp and append (-DENABLE_MANASERV) it after line 24. so append:
<Add option="-DENABLE_MANASERV" />

Ablu

Hi,

Ablu's explanation is fine.

If you want to do it using the GUI, you'll have to go into this menu once the project is opened:

Project-> Build Options... -> Click on the '#defines' tab of the Compiler settings and add: ENABLE_MANASERV there.

Regards,

Bertram

[visaboy]

Was was support removed from the project to begin with?
Is it no longer being developed?
