1. ok lets play a game called... .bat file, port forward settings or i'm a moron. i feel i'm pretty versed in things but this has me confustered ive had my friends on steam be able to connect but i suspect no one else can... or maybe im just playing with myself...wait not like that... any ways i took two different bat files (because there seems to be 10000 ways to do it) and parsed them together in a common sense way because neither singularly have worked it seems. i'm just trying to get the info to show up in the master list and to be able to connect with out the client.connect 127.0.0.1:28015 any ways sorry for rambling heres my bat file this is how it is other then the last part of the discord link.

    @echo off
    RustDedicated.exe -batchmode -ip 127.0.0.1 -port 28015 +server.level "Procedural Map" +server.seed 6666 +server.worldsize 4000 +server.maxplayers 75 +server.hostname "Rusty nutz n bolts" +server.description "Welcome all.NO ADMINs Raiding you|forced wipe only|clans|No decay|gyrocopter|10x +|kits|quicksmelt|larger stacks|boat loads of loot every time|masterlock|and more.Join the discord for mod info." +server.url "Discord" +server.headerimage "" +server.identity "server1" +rcon.port 28015 +rcon.password letmein +rcon.web 1
    start
     
  2. ip should be 0.0.0.0 and delete this if not being used +server.headerimage ""
     
  3. sweet thanks
     
  4. ok that parts good now..only problem is when i click my server from the master list in rust it wont connect there...i have to client.connect... does that mean it does the same for anyone trying to click it or just me because i'm hosting the server on my pc... im have no way of confirming my port forwarding is done right.... my friends have been able to join me but not sure if i'm connected to master list or wtf is going on i just know its cold lonely and i'm scared
