Warcraft 3 MODs

Yo, I am quite new to using the WC3FT, but I have played on it for a very long time so I decided to try and host one myself.

--------------------------------------------

My Problem:
I changed the XPlog in C:/Program/Steam/steamapps/username/czero/amxmodx and so on to the wc3ft folder where the txts' are kept.

I changed so that players would reviece different Experience, I saved the file but nothing changed.
When I try to savexp and reopen the server (in lan against some bots ) the XP is resetted.

Besides, when I try to take XP from myself or other bots the whole game crashes..

I looked in Cvarlist in console and changed a few things as recent event:

{
wc3_save_xp_db 1
wc3_save_xp 1
wc3_ult_cooldown 30
wc3_ult_delay 10
}

After I changed that, the Changerace menu refused to show up and I was running around without a Race.. >:-/

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, I have a bit of server questions (Listen Server ):..

Where can I check my Server IP Adress?

Do I have to change anything else than "Sv_Lan 0" so others can Join?

Will other players experience high latency when the server is running on 2Mbit cable?

Will my Router or Firewall interfere with the connections?
-How can I change it?

-------------------------------------

Thanks, Hope this is enough info to make a conclusion of the whole problem.

What txts?

Known Bug

Where can I check my Server IP Adress?

You join to the IP listed in your server console. Everyone else must connect to this IP

Do I have to change anything else than "Sv_Lan 0" so others can Join?

You have to forward your ports on your router

Will my Router or Firewall interfere with the connections?
-How can I change it?

If they are blocking incoming connections, yes.

Why isn't the XP gaining changed when I change the XP.txt?*
and
Where can I change it otherwise?

You have to forward your ports on your router

I have a SMC Router and I don't really know how to forward the ports in it..
I heard that if I enter the IP adress to the router in the Web Browser I can configure it... too bad it doesn't work.. :-S

Any suggestions?

Can you upload the file that you changed so I can have a look at it?

If you tell me the Model number, I can probably find a guide for you.

I don't know where the Manual is, but this number was printed under the SMC-logo..

Besides... I think I found the right file after a bit of searching and found the War3ft.cfg waaay back in a lot of folders and opened it in a text-editor and I found these and changed it to...:

-----------------------------------

I tested these configurations and guess what?... It works now, It saved my experience when I changed the map!..

But I still want to change the configurations for the XP awards...

I found something else too..

Whenever the CTs' defuse the bomb or the Ts' plant the bomb, the experience isn't awarded to people around you.

What do I have to change to award XP within a radius?..

(Could be a Developers task, I don't know if this is something the mod carries, but I have seen it in other War3FT servers..)

Did you check error logs?

If nobody can join your server, please go to this site and follow this guide on how to forward your ports. This link is a direct link for a guide specifically for that router and model. http://portforward.com/english/routers/ ... Server.htm


Also, are you recompiling the plugin after you edit the values?

New Problem: I got one of my friends server on HLDS, but I have reconfigured some txts so it would recognize me as an admin. When i join the server I don't get them, where do I change the files so it will automaticly give the previliges?

I have successfully added me and a friend as an Admin for thw AMX Mod X.

But I still have another problem with the War3FT...

The XP I have scraped together and saved is shared with everyone and just as the map changes I see that some races I don't have played on have got lots of XP.

Why isn't the experience saved for separate users?
