I can't make a joinable server

Today I created a server, I typed sv_lan 0 in console and waited for someone to join... No one joined so I switched maps and tried againn but nothing happened. Than I asked my friend to join my server, but he didn't see it on the internet section or the lan.

does anyone know how to fix this?

I don't know if you made a typing mistake, but it should be sv_lan 1.

Here's a list of commands for both server and client.

I normally just fire up the mod, create server (password etc.etc.) once you are in game press esc, find servers click the Lan tab right click on your server in the list and select view server info, where you'll find the ip address. And just give that to your mates along with password. then all they have to do is fire up the mod go to console and I 'think' type connect then the ip address. I think they are promted to enter password. And thats about it. I'm off to check what I have said is correct, man I haven't had anyone else join meh on a lan since early cs dayz)

Also you should be aware that this Mod has options for additional content, like dod,cs,eps1, loast coast,hl source. I'm not sure if there can be a conflict if your running content they havent got or got enabled. If indoubt just check your all on the same. but again I'm not sure.

sorry if you didn't understand... the post was kind of weird ( kind of )

but I'm trying to launch a server thats ONLINE not in lan, that means I should have sv_lan 0 right?

use this config, put it in your cfg folder in obsidian conflict.

when ingame, type. exec server and thats all.

errr...

I'm sorry, I'm not very good at this stuff.. but how do I put it there?

I think It's just a case of copying in to note pad and save as Server.cfg?

to find your obsidian folder it should be something like C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\Obsidian\cfg

Have you ever ran a steam server before?

ok its been awhile since i was last here. how does that work Tono-Tako
?
i tried it, i dint work. i used to be able to run servers but i got a router. now its so complicated to to so. with lan ip and junk. i tried it and it dont wokr

If you have a new router then you will most likely need to forward your ports, What model and brand is your modem?

I did the server.cfg thing but still nothing happened and server was just on lan section and not on internet secetion...

p.s. yes I have never created a server that WORKS but I have tried...

your server will be always in lan section if you're hosting it in your pc, but anyways it iis in internet.

but u see. my ports are forwarded and i have ran a server before. people jioned and we played awhile. but that was a while back. now i dont now what to do.

Thanks everyone for your help

But I think I'll just settle with joining other servers hehe

p.s. thanks againn
