[NA/Resolved] Problem trying to make a 60k Stadium

Has anyone managed to have dedicated servers, upgraded to 60K, for Storm and Stadium at the same time?

My Storm 60k servers have worked fine, I deposite the 10k on the mp player page and then ensure my config.txt is okay, then launch the server, these servers work as 60K ladder servers just fine.

For Stadium, it just wont work at all, I have tried so many configurations, I have tried adding the server as a ladder server on the mp player page using the validation code of my Stadium key, and also the Storm key. I have deleted the ladder server, regenerated the validation code from my Stadium key, then made the server a ladder server again, making sure I used the new validation code, still failure.

I have created a brand new dedi server account, then made it a ladder server using Stadium validation code, still will not work as 60k. I have tried various entries in the validationkey field, the last 3 digits of my main key, the 5 digit validation code, even the whole key. I have tried putting the referree to value 1, nothing so far works.

If I can make Storm work, why cant i make Stadium also work?

I am thinking of buying another Stadium key, keeping it separate from my mra mp account and seeing if I can get it working isolated from from my own player page, but if I have to do that, it sounds like there is a problem.

Finally resolved!

There is a drop down at the top of the ladder servers page, which I had never noticed, for choosing which title the rest of the page relates to, so previously I was adding Stadium server under the title Storm.

:roflol:

I have ended up setting up the Stadium ladder server using the validation code generated from my Storm game key... So it seems like there is one validation code for your MP account which can be generated by any of your game keys?

Seriously, this has taken me days to work out.

Omg , now I know what is wrong with my servers .

Did not see that dropdown menu also.
So setup a Stadium2 server with a Canyon server acc.

Seems to work.

It only does not show 60K after the flag of country in the game browser.

But what to do now ?
Erase the canyon server acc. ? and make stadium2 acc. ?

Can I use the same names ? otherwise I have to register the servers again on dedimania ( cost now money for 15 + dedi's )

You only need to delete the ladder server, not the actual server itself. It will refund your 10k, then just re add it as a ladder server under the correct title, on the ladder servers pge.

Ok , it worked :thumbsup:

Now I also see 60K standing after country flag.

LOL , a lot of servers have no 60K after country flag, ( same misstake ? :p )

Thanks m8.

Well, I did create mine with my stadium 2 and under stadium 2...made sure everything was configured properly, and IT STILL IS NOT SHOWING THE 60K. Not that anyone needs it yet, but sheesh... :teub:

Thing only thing I can think of is the server login name is the same one I once used for tmuf, but I have always tried to keep my logins tied together...could this be the problem? could the ladder server not know the difference between the 2 games or coppers and planets?

Starting to get frustrated with the whole thing....and yes, I know its a beta.

Did you well configure your server limits in your dedicated server file?
<ladder_serverlimit_min>0</ladder_serverlimit_min> <!-- Those values will be clamped to the limits authorized on https://player.maniaplanet.com/advanced/ladder-servers--><ladder_serverlimit_max>60000</ladder_serverlimit_max>

will double check it all and see if I missed a character and post back. and all it stipulates for rules would be the need for rounds...? have seen many using time attack and laps.... any other rules I need to know about that aren't listed?

All config files are proper, no typos, and no 60K
