Jedi Academy Master List

[Binny]

I've hosted several servers among two different Virtual Private Servers, located in different datacenters, for several months now. For the first month, maybe two, they ran perfectly, appeared on the master list and so forth, but more recently they haven't been showing up on the master list at all, all 6 of them. I'm thinking the master list has banned my servers IP addresses for some reason, although I cannot fathom why.

 

Supporting me thinking that is the following:

 

When are user (first IP) or say a tracking list like Gametracker (bottom IP) requests server information it typically sends a 14 byte packet asking for it, and my server promply responds with a 790-800 byte serverinfo packet. As seen below.

 

 

13:17:16.828061 IP fwddns-node1.datx01.hostnoc.net.domain > 340577.ud.no-ip.org.35877: 38259 1/2/2 PTR ppp78-37-245-62.pppoe.avangarddsl.ru. (171)

13:17:29.975528 IP scanner2.gametracker.com.42664 > 340577.ud.no-ip.org.29070: UDP, length 14

13:17:29.975657 IP 340577.ud.no-ip.org.53139 > fwddns-node1.datx01.hostnoc.net.domain: 36644+ PTR? 148.78.61.108.in-addr.arpa. (44)

13:17:29.975857 IP 340577.ud.no-ip.org.29070 > scanner2.gametracker.com.42664: UDP, length 797

13:17:29.976246 IP fwddns-node1.datx01.hostnoc.net.domain > 340577.ud.no-ip.org.53139: 36644 1/2/2 PTR scanner2.gametracker.com. (157)

13:17:30.086603 IP scanner3.gametracker.com.38822 > 340577.ud.no-ip.org.29080: UDP, length 14

13:17:30.086859 IP 340577.ud.no-ip.org.29080 > scanner3.gametracker.com.38822: UDP, length 800

 

When my server sends a heartbeat to masterjk3.ravensoft.com, as seen below

12:46:56.201415 IP 340577.ud.no-ip.org.49032 > fwddns-node1.datx01.hostnoc.net.domain: 48784+ A? masterjk3.ravensoft.com. (41) 
12:46:56.201862 IP fwddns-node1.datx01.hostnoc.net.domain > 340577.ud.no-ip.org.49032: 48784 2/7/7 CNAME avhccpsx07.ravensoft.com., A 63.146.124.53 (332) 
12:46:56.202007 IP 340577.ud.no-ip.org.29070 > 63.146.124.53.29060: UDP, length 27

 

The server console output seems normal:

 

Resolving clanservers.net

clanservers.net resolved to 208.167.241.123:29060

Sending heartbeat to clanservers.net

Resolving 212.6.108.246:1111

masterjk3.ravensoft.com never sends a getstatus request, and my server never replies with the 800 byte serverinfo packet. This is clearly why it doesn't appear on the master list, but the reason the master server isnt responding to my heartbeats is confusing, to say the least. Does anyone have any insight I don't in to this problem?

The Raven master server really sucks. I'd suggest setting one of your sv_master cvars to "master.jkhub.org", since that one is very good.

You could also try opening up the port for the master server communications (33905) and making sure that your firewall isn't blocking communication with said port.

This place is littered with such threads xD

 

Same here, servers appearing a moment and disappearing an hour later, only to reappear 9 days later...

 

Nothing we can do cept wait it out, jar it a bit with minor port changes...wait it out...

 

Edit: Oo you're the one who run's Wovian's in 1.00! Saw that vanish days ago and just came back.

[Binny]

It's back on the list? Well that's at least a good sign, but none of my 1.01 servers are showing up. I'd say maybe its the master server conflicting from a 1.00 and 1.01 on the same IP, but my other server only has 3 1.01 servers on it.

 

I should have put in my post that I'd completely disabled IPTables prior to this testing, and that they have consistently not been on the list for a clean 30 days now, except for Wovian Source apparently.

 

I would happilly use JKHub and my own master servers but the issue isn't them not working, its that not enough people have those masterlists added to their clients, and thus I don't think I'd get much traffic from it. I might try it just for the sake of it anyway, for some reason the default masterlist selection has

sv_master1 "masterjk3.ravensoft.com"

 

and 

 

sv_master5 "63.146.124.53"

 

Which are the same address...

[Binny]

LOL your right Wovian Source is back on the master list, along with my two other servers on that box Masterful Dojo and Binnys Instagib. All 3 are showing up today like nothing happened after 30 days of not showing up. Trippy. I'ma disable iptables for long enough for it to get a solid heartbeat out, see if it fixes my other 3.

[Mysterious Stranger]

I've got 1.00 and 1.01 servers on the same server too and it doesn't affect anything.

 

30 days? Wow, I would have raged long before that.

[Binny]

Luckily it started pretty much the same day school started again so I've been too busy for so long it seems to have fixed it self. It detected I got pissed I guess, since it fixed the same day I complained about it.
