NS2 Server Help

Drakennz

Hey all,

Trying to setup a NS2 server on a machine i have but it only shows as a LAN game - i have set LAN to false but still no joy.
Seems very simple to setup but its proving difficult for me. Any suggestions?

Usually when staring up your first server using server.exe file a filename called "server.xml" file will appear in #APPDATA#\Roaming\Natural Selection 2\
If it doesnt appear there you you can create your own with the following code.

<options>
<lanGame>false</lanGame>
<mapName>ns2_summit</mapName>
<port>27015</port>
<serverName>Yourservernamehere</serverName>
<playerLimit>18</playerLimit>
</options>
