OMP Support

[jangofett287]

... and our OMP team gets together (usually first weekend after release) and tests it under server load in realtime. We are a new team and it is a learn as you go. But I think we are on right track now.

Umm, hang on, when did we become a team? I thought we were just a disjointed group of individuals!

You could always try the OMP port manager. It should, in theory, open a port using universal plug and play (UPnP) interface and start OMP, and close the port when you close OMP.
It works with, as author of the port manager states:
However, this did not work for my router and few other people, but why not give it a shot?

Thanks for the help,but it don t worked,i even tried to execute the "Orbiter.bat" it still dint worked,well i think i dont have choise but have to change the location of my router(it is installed on my home is corridor)and then get some optical cables,maybe dpoing this the issue dissapear

no jango! We including,you. You know whats up! Waiting on face. *yelling*
Faaaaacccceeeeeee!!!!!!!!! Ummm *cough cough* excuse me kind sir,don't mean to bother you, but,ummm....how goes the coding? Any luck with the tunneling?

 

[Stevodoran]

Question. Will this ever be able to be used with a dial-up?

You don't have to wait for me. Grab the code and hack away! :rofl:

No, seriously: due to my knee problems, I've stacked up a big pile of work in RL. Thus I'm busy earning my money to feed the family right now, no big dev in OMP (or AscensionUltra, COIClient, OrbiterGalaxy, OrbiterNavigator, WebMFD for that matter - to name a few other projects I'm involved).

I've dropped a commit here and there, but nothing you can work with ATM. I occasionally help with coding troubles, too, like Woodylepic's Pylon porting problem, but those are all 1-hour jobs. Project dev needs me to concentrate for at least 2 hours, and this I cannot invest at the moment.

Question. Will this ever be able to be used with a dial-up?

It is already able to be used with dial-up. I remember a user named Redburne to use ISDN dial-up to connect to one of the early OMP hostings, and it worked fine.

OMP is not so heavy on the bandwidth (at least with default settings), because the packet size is around 128 Bytes (yes, Bytes). Given a transmission rate of maybe 50 packs per second (already a crowded situation!) and an IP overhead of around twice the size, I'd say you'll get a max. of ca. 64kBit/s line speed.
This is just a quick calc back on the envelope, though.

How would i do if i had an average speed of 300-500 kB/s?

 

[deltawing777]

You don't have to wait for me. Grab the code and hack away! :rofl:

1: A=1
2: B=2
3: If A<>B then goto 10
4: If A>B goto 20

10: Print "OMP coding Complete"
20: Print "OMP coding NOT Complete"


Is OMP working now? :rofl:
Please keep the applause and cheers to a minimum as I worked hours on this code and have a headache!

Lol get well soon face! Just hit the other knee and you will forget about the other one

 

[GuiConteDGIV2X]

Aw damn i was about to connect it then orbiter got slowered to stone age i tried to reinstall it but it stil have the issue because i installed atmospheric enhancer v3
Now its fixed ^_^ i will try it again

OMP server questions

I'm planning to create a private omp server for my own personal uses But i'm not quite sure how I would go about doing it could you send me a tutorial on how to set up a server on a LAN network, would appreciate it if you could send me a detailed tutorial on it thanks.

 

[Face]

There is no tutorial for that ATM besides the out-dated OMP.pdf in the distribution.

But it is no rocket-science, either. Basically, you just need to start the ServerConsole.exe in the /Server/Windows/ folder of your Orbiter installation. Together with the default server.xml in the same directory, the server should start right away and run on port 1515, with web interface on 1580. This is if you use deltawing777's distribution or a direct download from the ORRL tip.

Now i got it,i am about to forward the port but i dont know what values i set i will send a screen shot,please tell me what sort of thinks i will put on the fields
And my brother said if i forward the door the router will stop working is this real?

In the "Service port" field you should enter the port number that you use in the network tab of the OMP client (custom setting). In deltawing777's distribution it is 2502 by default IIRC.

In the "IP address" field your PC's LAN-IP should be entered. This is the local IP and normally starts with something like 192.168.0.xxx. Best is to check it via your OS's network status. The fastest (and "universal") way on Windows is to open a command-line window (cmd.exe) and enter "ipconfig<ENTER>".

UDP and status "Enabled" is already selected, and the bottom field is just for selecting pre-defined port-numbers.

After this you should be able to connect with custom method and the specified port. If not, I'd additionally check the firewall settings on both the router and the PC.

And my brother said if i forward the door the router will stop working is this real?

It would be a strange router, it it stops working after a port-forward, don't you think?

 

[jangofett287]

If you forward the wrong port it can block internet access for everyone else on your network (Their packets get sent you your machine). I should know, I've done it. can't remember which port though.

One more problem i will reinstall omp but when i go to the link to download it there is a "Sorry,no results were found for your search".
Also i can't go to OMP project host website
Still the website is offline and i can t find the download link
PS:Sorry for many post editing

 

[jangofett287]

Also i can't go to OMP project host website

omp.dyndns-server.com is currently unavailable, I do not know why. The entire server is contactable. If it is still down later this evening I will attempt to start a backup server on my machine, but don't hold yer breath.

Just to clear things up: Deltawing777's hosting server and all associated stuff with it is offline. Restart of the hosting is unlikely.

If someone will host a server and would like to host the website as well (the install info one), and you'd like the one that was on Deltawing777's hosting, feel free to PM / ICQ / MSN me.

In the meantime see first post of this thread for installation guide.

Hi jangofett287,

how far are you? I'm working at the same: New OMP server and maybe later new website. I am also in contact with Axertan.
I got a OMP server running locally in my LAN last weekend and i was playing for hours with my friends at home, no client- or server crash, just the regular plane crash :lol:

If your interested and also still work on it, maybe we can share some knowledge. I still dont know the required ports (in and out for the server) and what version we should use.
About the ports - i dont like to open more ports then required on my firewall and i could maybe find out myself with wireshark.

Let me know if your interested.

cu ren

I still dont know the required ports (in and out for the server) and what version we should use.

For client you only need to allow outgoing TCP (this is normally no problem), outgoing UDP (should be no problem, either), and 1 incoming UDP. The later is the most tricky part of it all. Most of the time, you have to configure your router to port-forward that single UDP port to your Orbiter machine, as well as open the firewall for that incoming UDP port on the machine.

For servers, it gets a bit more complicated. You have to have 1 incoming TCP port (where all clients connect to) as well as n incoming UDP ports. n is the number of concurrent clients you want to support. If you want to run a server over a router to the internet, you'll have to port-forward those ports, too.

The defaults are

1. for client UDP 2502, editable in network tab under "Custom" setting's client port field.
2. for server TCP 1515 and UDP range 3000-3499, editable in the server.xml file in the /Server/Windows/ or /Server/Linux/ folder, respectively.

As for the version, I'd recommend this one: http://omp.ddns.net/hg/omp/archive/13eb8a0bb7d9.zip

This is not the latest, but the most stable to date.

Face

Thank you Face!
... and i added tcp 1580 for web-stats

I will send you my dns name via PM and i will post the new server here - after the tests are successful.
