I have gone through all the instructions on the wikipage and I've got as far as having the server show up in the browser. The problem is no-one can join the server.

Here is the error log from <i>"launchserver.cmd"</i>

nPointGaming.org" -config_path C:\steam\steamapps\common\ns2_dedicated_server -p

    When you say no one can join the server, does that include yourself?

    Strange... I wake up this morning and now I can join.

    If I wanted to host more than one server is it simply a case of creating another "launchserver.cmd" file and editing the name of the server, the port number and maps? How can I run a server with all maps... My "launchserver.cmd" currently has the following information:

    Server.exe -name "SpawnPoint Gaming (spgaming.org)" -config_path C:\steam\steamapps\common\ns2_dedicated_server -port 5003 -map ns2_tram -limit 16

    However the instructions on the wiki page talk about MapCycle.json which is set to the following right now:

    {
    "mode": "order",
    "maps": [ "ns2_docking", "ns2_mineshaft", "ns2_refinery", "ns2_summit", "ns2_tram", "ns2_veil" ],
    "time": 30
    }

    Do I copy and paste the MapCycle.json into my launchserver.cmd file?

    Hi Cask, I'm Whosat over at your forums as well (;

    Check the wiki out bro, there's all the info there.

    I guess you managed to get your second, third and fourth servers up seeing as I saw them in the server list this afternoon :)

    By default, the MapCycle.json created contains all the official maps on a standard rotation of 30 minutes per cycle.

    Note that your port needs to be +2 from your previous server's port. Because each ns2 server instance takes up 2 ports. (e.g. -port 27015 will require 27016 as well as 27015 to be opened and forwarded to the server)

    NINJA EDIT: Just saw your first post sorry. What message shows when you try to connect to your server?

    EDIT2: Helped the OP via teamspeak. His problems are solved for now :)
