Transom Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Sorry if this seems obvious to some but I am new to it. How do you get a server visible. I have opened the MTA Server.exe thing and I can't find any sort of server in MTA to actually claim ownership over. I followed the Wiki and couldn't find anything. All I have done is I have downloaded the server kit from the downloads section, tried adding myself as an admin to the accounts.xml thing and tried to change the server name in the server document in: C:\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\server\mods\deathmatch\logs But nothing ... It seems like I supposedly have a server, but can't access it. Can anyone solve my dilemma (like I said, sorry if this is baby talk to some but I am quite new to server making). Link to comment
Gothem Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 the server browser have problems now check in game-monitor.com to see if your server is online Link to comment
Transom Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 the server browser have problems now check in game-monitor.com to see if your server is online Is there anyway to distinguish it from all the other Default MTA Servers, like changing the name, since I can't edit it directly in the MTA Server.exe window? I tried earlier and couldn't find it. Do I have to keep the MTA server window up to see it? Thanks. Link to comment
