It only prints 149931, is this because only 149931 of the accounts are active?
The number I need is based on the last used ID, which is 197793.

Oh well, yes. I gave you what you asked for. The number of users and the highest used ID are two entirely different things. The difference is caused by accounts which were never activated or which have been removed.

I extended it so you can get the highest used ID with

Could we have email notifications for PM messages?

Maybe make live chat on usgn where people can instantly chat with others?

@ daris: A live chat isn't going to make the cut in long run. It has to be monitored almost constantly by mods as it's a perfect space for people to flame at each other or just harass others. Also I certainly believe DC needs to upgrade the server infrastructure to accommodate such a feature if one wants a responsive experience with the live chat.

I suggest that it would be better to make a library of generic solutions using Lua scripts and ordering something.
Perhaps in the future with using neural networks.

You can use discord for live chat https://discord.gg/K873VhV

Make dark mode for this site plz

Every so often someone always comes and asks why their server does not appear in the list of servers when it is running it correctly on a VPS, Then someone comes and tells you to check the game FAQ.

The problem is that it does not specify that in VPS servers such as those of the company AWS Amazon or similar, it is necessary to open all ports in the aws panel or any other similar company.

I also remember that if you want your server to appear immediately after your server list is updated, it is necessary to open HTTP ports for some reason that does not bother me to investigate, obviously the UDP you must also open them, I didn't bother to open only a few ports and used the most effective configuration 0-65535, On a server with a core or two that is for a game do not open problem in using it toci.

A duplicate is generated after save for any razon ej :
udp: 0-65535
udp: 0-65535

delete one.

well if they explained in some simpler way than mine in FAQ, it will be easier to put a server online and therefore we will all benefit.

At the time this gave me headaches I wanted that as soon as I open the game my server appeared in the list and worked for a long time this method for me.

That you have to open the used UDP port is mentioned like everywhere (and should be common sense for someone owning a server). I'm sorry but I won't start to add host specific instructions like the AWS panel stuff because maintaining that is endless work considering that there are infinite providers with ever changing workflows and control panels.

The HTTP part is weird. You normally should not have to open that. At least not for incoming HTTP requests as CS2D servers do not listen for any TCP/HTTP requests. They may use HTTP for Steam API calls but that should not affect the server list entry in any way.

Btw: Blindly opening the complete port range is not necessary and also very bad practice and highly insecure. I would never recommend to do that on a productive/live server!

I agree with you, this should be obvious to most, but if you appreciate this image, you will see that people tend to get too confused with this topic and it is not bad to give these people a hand, since when looking for some information and not knowing what it is the problem they have, they tend to look for solutions that have nothing to do with their real problem.


All those people who bother to rent a VPS to put a server online and do not achieve their mission due to lack of information, is a great loss for the game.

as soon as open all ports so that the server appears fast in the list.
I warned that it was not correct but on a server that is only used for a small game, greater security is not necessary

As for recommending it or not, a few years ago when the game was released on steam I was in a competition against brazil (elitebr vs serverlove) in which we experimented with weird configurations so that our server would appear first on the list with the best ping, to keep all the players and fill all the servers.

it is natural that they overlook this since unrealsofware does not maintain servers within the game and only knows the theory but in reality certain problems arise that in theory should not arise, Oh, add this to my lousy English and remember, it's just an idea, they don't need to be considered perfect.


I remember that before someone recommended that they add 3D rendering to the game and they responded that it is a 2D game and not 3D, however then they added 3D to the map.

Im using AWS and I just had to open the UDP port to make it work.

mrc thanks for confirming that. That's how it should be!

Thanks for the feedback cs2d_is_a_Gem. After reviewing the instructions I have to admit that the fact that you have to open the right UDP port wasn't stated as clearly as possible.

I adjusted the FAQ (https://www.cs2d.com/faq.php?show=net_howtohost#net_howtohost & https://www.cs2d.com/faq.php?show=net_nojoin#net_nojoin) and the server hosting page (https://www.cs2d.com/serverhosting.php) to say more explicitly that you have to open the UDP port properly. I also added a "root server / VPS"-point to one of the FAQs.

I still won't recommend to open ALL ports and TCP ports. I can't explain why you seem to get better results with that approach but it doesn't make any sense technically. I assume it was/is just some weird kind of coincidence. I think that you could safely close the TCP ports and the not needed UDP ports without making your server perform worse.
