Looks like you need to open the ports on your router to allow the server to be seen on the master server list.

look in this thread: http://planetthinktanks2.com/viewtopic.php?t

@ deano

This is the set of instructions Dazzle (UF) sent me on how to set up a server on Ubuntu, hope it helps and thanks to Dazzle (UF).

First thing to do. Go into the /home/your user name/ThinkTanks/dedicated folder and pick a game you want to host (actually does't really matter because we will be changing things later, but we need the script). So just pick the lush cycle.sh and copy it. Then past it in your home/your user name/ThinkTanks folder.

Second. Use the Text Editor (located in Applications-Accessories) to edit the cycle.sh with some info I got from dash awhile back. Makes it a lot easier to deal with. Replace all with this info.

#!/bin/bash
GAME_HOME_PATH='/home/your user name/ThinkTanks'
echo "Inserting lib directory in LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
${GAME_HOME_PATH}/lib"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:${GAME_HOME_PATH}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./ThinkTanks.bin -dedicated -nohomedir -console -mission game/data/missions/”MISSION_NAME”.mis -game TB

Third. You have to find the prefs.cs Go to your home folder and click view - then click Show hidden files - Then go to the .bravetree/ThinkTanks/game/server folder. Just cut and the paste to your /home/your user name/ThinkTanks/game/server folder. Just edit the server preferences here.

Fourth. Launch the server. Open a terminal. Type cd /home/your user name/ThinkTanks <hit> then type sh and drag the .sh file from the ThinkTankls folder to the terminsl window, And away you go

You can install everything else like you do in windows, like the dash codes and such. Its just now gedit has taken the place of notepad.

Have fun,
deano

Thanks


i host a server and i find it very easy to do it like this on a mac

1. dl the attachment
2. open it
3.change the SELECTMISSION to whatever mission u want it to run and change the TB to any of these gametypes
B=battlemode
TB=teambattle
S=Scrum
TS=teamscrum

4. make sure your path is correct to tt
5. press run(dont forget to port forward before you press run)
6. now if you want to play tt you cant you have to open tt before you lunch the dedicated server, so if you lunch the server and u want to play tt later download something called X11 its like terminal but its a bit better. once u do that you right click on tt "show package contents" and then this path /Contents/MacOS/ then right click on the ThinkTanksOSX and open it with X11
once you lunch the server you can close the window that says Terminal Bash

to turn off dedicated server close the window "ThinkTanksDedicatedServer"
a warning will come up press terminate.

there u go a mac way of doin it
