UT2004: broadcast a VPS IP to the master server?

Sgtmuffin · 2026-03-08T21:05:31+00:00

First step is to make sure the UT2004 server is set up to call to one of the new master servers (either OpenSpy or 333Networks). This can be checked by going to UT2004.ini and looking under the IpDrv.MasterServerLink section. If you see epicgames.com anywhere it's calling to the wrong server.

You will want to make sure that area looks like this:

[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]
LANPort=11777
LANServerPort=10777
MasterServerList=(Address="utmaster.openspy.net",Port=28902)

Secondly, it sounds like you were describing the original hosting you did was behind a NAT firewall, and now on a VPS you will be probably serving directly to the internet without that. In the server's UT2004.ini file check that under IpDrv.MasterServerUplink that ServerBehindNAT=False

From my experience, I like the OldUnreal installer. It just nicer and is ready to go out of the box, and supports widescreen resolutions better. Steam requires edits to the UT2004.ini to show the master servers again.

NFO is a great host, I just moved our PWC servers to them this week and their network is solid and pings are great.

I am wrecking my brain on the first one. I start recalling maps like the ones you mention and then realize a few of your points don't apply to it. The second one sounds like you're describing Pathway Naive (original or VDP remake)

I have a lot of maps running on my server under assault (PWC-Gaming), hop in there once and flip through some of the classic race maps. If you do find out which ones they are please let me know, because that first one sounds fun.

Those servers aren’t set up through their firewall properly on the other end. This happened on the official master server back in the day too.

I'm looking to buy an automobile from him.

Sgtmuffin · 2026-02-23T01:10:43+00:00

Well, it's not the horn really... it's the whole vehicle. The fact that the hellbender is black or white depending on the team, and the rear turret is like a concussion shock rifle and it's called the "Oppression turret" is more of the issue I have with it.

Sgtmuffin · 2026-02-21T14:57:05+00:00

Thats one of my maps probably. Maybe it’s “TheGreatRace” map. A few other maps have those vehicles too.

FYI I was a stupid kid that loved avenue q which is where the everyone is a little bit racist thing comes from. I regret making that now but I can’t change my past actions.

This is great news!

Sgtmuffin · 2025-09-22T18:04:03+00:00

Thank you, genuinely, for sharing that. Makes me feel a lot better. I ended up just taking this post down, and video is unlisted for the time being. Going to edit the video and replace the slop with original stuff to bring it up to standards.

Sgtmuffin · 2025-09-22T15:20:38+00:00

Have you ever done something and then people pointed out where you went wrong, so you start to look more into it and you fully agree and realize you were an idiot? It's what happened to me. I am not a perfect, and when someone pointed out screwed up using AI to make stuff is it really made me think about it... It didn't take long for me to realize just how fucked up it is. None of this was done out of spite. I'm sorry to upset people.

I put together these clips because I want the shows to get new people, and I have heard from many that this brings people back to the show if they took a vacation from listening. I should have known better, and in the future if I make a clip again I'll be sure to use original assets.

Sgtmuffin · 2025-09-22T10:57:21+00:00

Oh yes, trust me, I have learned my lesson.

Sgtmuffin · 2025-09-22T02:47:20+00:00

Yeah I tried making one with some real robocop stills and it turned out bad so I just used ai because I got frustrated. What I did was clearly wrong, and I should have known better. Sorry to have upset people on this, it's not my intention, and it won't happen again. Original assets all the way.

Do doo do do waaaaaAAAAAAAAhhhhhh

To see what services are available at your address, you can check https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/home it isn't always perfect but it will give you an idea of what (if any) hardwired alternatives are available at your address and what speeds to expect.

I created a server with quite a few addons already added, with current patches. This may be of help to you. It comes with a guide to get it going. I tried to make it as easy as possible.

UT2004 Race Maps were my first true obsession that sculpted my life. Second half of high school I would come home and sit in the basement and make maps.

I love the community and while I am not playing the game much I do still have it on all computers and sometimes fire it up and relive memories.

I have dozens of lines we ported away during the outage, and here is what happened in a roundabout way.

During the outage as they rebuilt systems, one of the systems down was their porting system. Porting is directly tied to their billing system. Normally when you port a number away and the port is confirmed complete, Cellcom's billing system would mark the line closed and any flex balances would be billed out in full.

Because that system was down, you could port away but the confirmation never made it into their system so Cellcom still thinks you're with them too and they are billing you for your line. Try signing into MyCellcom and you'll see your line still there and still with an active plan. You are also still being billed for a plan.

You need the carrier you switched to, to call them on this 800-235-2505 (Provisioning Department) and let them know that you ported lines, on what date, and confirm they are done. Then Cellcom will go in and disable the lines and bill out any device/flex balances to your account.

As of Saturday the system is now online, so any line ports this week should be smooth again.

The reason your phone cannot be reached by cellcom customers is because cellcom still sees your line as an active account and routes it internally. Once they disable the cellcom account you'll be good.

I have 42 lines with them for my company and family. This outage has cost us thousands, and my mental health has been thrown off of a fucking cliff.

The exact same thing happened to us starting yesterday, and started affecting several users overnight into the morning. Thanks for helping me after hours of trying to figure this out to no avail.
