SWRC | Server Tutorial
"Everybody can create Servers in Republic Commando !"
Here's the way to do it:

Note: It is absolutley recommend to delete all antivirusapplications, internet security guards or firewalls of companys like kaspersky, norton, mcaffee and so on. u'll encounter problems if u use programs like that (and to be honest they suck...). use avira antivir classic and all will be fine.

1. Access to your Router Control Center [RCC] (usally u do this by entering something in ur browser - i.e. if u have a fritzbox-Router u can access ur RCC via entering "fritz.box" into ur browser)

Note: get the manual of your router and search for it or simple google after it via the product-name of your router. Mostly u have given an adminname and -pass too 2 access the RCC

2. Once you're logged into ur RCC go to something that is called "PORTS" or "PORT FORWARDING" or something in that way. There u can open Ports. There are 2 types of portprotocols u can choose: UDP and TCP

open now all thes ports for applications in UDP and TCP !

Republic Commando Ports
11138
7777
GameSpy Arcade Ports
(apply these if u behind a firewall)
27900
28900
29900
29901
13139
6515
6500

Dont forget to save the opened Ports if u RCC wishes so ( if theres a button or something ...)

3. Search in your whole RCC for this. "UPnP"Make sure that UPnP is activated and Anonymus Person can access ur Ports. ( That just means that all person have the permisson to dock on ur port so they can play on your server )

4. Deactivate your Windows Firewall ( YES ! I SAID DEACTIVATE IT ! to be honest : nobody needs a freakin firewall ...thats all crap if u have good antivir ...trust in me)

Note: if u still want to use a firewall only use the windowsfirewalland do this:
1. go to security center in systemcontrols
2. open firewallsettings
3. click on allow exceptions (checkbox)
4. click on the tab exceptions
5. click on ports and allow allopened ports (all in all 22 ports... )
6. also mark swrc and gamespy arcade as a exeception
7. done

This is all gay too when u try to make servers.
Norton Internet Security
Tiny Personal Firewall
Zonealarm
Sygate (proxy)
Wingate (proxy)
Internet Connection Sharing aka ICS - provided by Windows 98SE and higher (proxy)
Linksys Routers (hardware firewall) - deactivate the hardwarefirewall in RCC
D-Link Routers (hardware firewall) - deactivate the hardwarefirewall in RCC
Cisco Routers (hardware firewall) - deactivate the hardwarefirewall in RCC

but what if we decided gamespy is gay and we don't wanna install it

then you win this (a medal)

mh. good question ..i guess u dont need to have it installed ..mebbe gamespy owns the masterserver for repcom and thats why u need to open these ports ...

Umm sorry Sphinx, but there are just 2 ports which needs to be opened:

11138 TCP/UDP
7777 TCP/UDP

I can host servers with only have this two ports opened....

maybe .... but i guess at my time u were not the only hoster of this crappy game... my way is the way that works for all. end of the story.

I won't believe that your way works ... because the standard port for RepCom (and many other Unreal-based games) is 7777.

Go to the GameData/System folder and open the System.ini.

Then you will see these lines:

[URL]
Protocol=republiccommando
ProtocolDescription=Republic Commando Protocol
Name=Player
Map=Entry.ctm
LocalMap=Entry.ctm
Host=
Portal=
MapExt=ctm
EXEName=ct.exe
SaveExt=cts
Port=7777
Class=CTCharacters.PlayerCommando

(...)

So it's only another port if you change it manually ....

And 11138 is the standard GameSpy port .... if you host more than 1 server on your comp, just add +1 to the port.

Means if you host 3 servers, you will need to forward 11138,11139 and 11140.

oh yes my bad forget the 7777 ...have it opened in my ports too ...

wtf where was i with ma head as i copied the ports XD


according to this these 2 are repcomports :S
http://www.gameconfig.co.uk/showdetail.asp?id=119


the rest are all gamespystuff that u use if u are behind a firewall... ok u dont need all i.e. the voice and ircport not ...oki i deleted both

Well you only need 7777 and 11138.

Just test it and you will that I'm right. =)

sure. if ur not behind a firewall. and why the fuck this site tells u these another 2 ports ?

ive logged in to my router b4 but i reset it a while back and now i cant get into it

use the manual !? if u reset maybe the password changes to a standardpass which is given in the manual... idk ..

its a Linksys to log in to it i just typed my ip in my browser i never changed the pw its confusing

apparently my ip changed thats weird
got it thanks

gah u have a crappy cisco-router...if it wont work with vashies way open the ports i wrote too...and cisco routers also have a routerfirewall ... disable it ...
