Hello, I'm new on this forum and I don't know a lot of things on this subject : Creating a MTA:SA server.

So, I'd like a tutorial to help me create my server for my community. The server will be hosted on my computer, I haven't the money to pay a gamehosting or a dedicaced server.

I saw the wiki but I can't follow it, it's too dificult to understand.

A big thank in advance.

Opss, that worked before :/

My router is a D-link DSL-2640R. With portfoward.com, I choose this router then MTA SA R1.0 in application list. I enter my IP (94.111.249.25) and I do all things it's write in the tutorial. That's the result : 1289059165.jpeg

There is the code of the .conf :

<config> 
  
    <!-- This parameter specifies the name the server will be visible as in the ingame server browser  
         and on Game-Monitor. It is a required parameter. --> 
    <servername>The Gamer/Modder Community</servername>

         needed for professional servers and should be left blank otherwise. 
         This parameter specifies the IP to use for servers that have multiple IP addresses. If left 
         blank, it will default to server's standard local IP address. -->

So now you know that when YOU connect locally to YOUR server, you typically use your router address (you found in cmd) and NOT your Internet IP ( http://www.whatismyip.com ). When OTHER people connect they will use your Internet IP.

Now, as for connectivity, make sure the port you use is open on the router, for example 22003 and 22003 + 123. As it says in the wiki this site has guides, http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm . We no longer use ASE, we use http://www.game-monitor.com but the method is the same. Its the port used and port used + 123 to show up on game-monitor (the browse list ingame and the website link above).

2 separate forwardings. If you create that range, everything between 22003 and 22126 would be forwarded to you. By the way, on the router, it will ask what IP to send it to. Again it is talking in LOCAL router IPs. That will be your IP in the cmd. To make sense of what you pasted from cmd above, 192.168.1.1 being the router... you got assigned 192.168.1.4 for YOUR specific computer on the router. Your brothers computer would be 192.168.1.5 or something.

1 MORE IMPORTANT THING

Even when you do it right you will fail to connect to your Internet IP. Its because you are the server. If you had MTA on another computer in your house, you could get away with connecting to the IP (I used to do this)... you need a buddy to connect to be absolutely sure. However, if you see your server on the game-monitor website or the ingame server browser, you port forwarded port + 123 correctly. This SHOULD mean you also forwarded the server port correctly, which is required for player connection and sending data back and forth.
