Life is Feudal Official Forum

i'm currently running the vanilla map and want to change it using FeudalTools however im unable to add my server. FeudalTool's FAQ says "Make sure your database and your servers firewall allow remote connections." When i installed mariaDataBase i checked the box that says "Enable access from remote machines for "root" user". i even granted full access to my database to anyone who knows the password. disabled my router's firewall and still no luck. what am i missing? any help is appreciated.

You cannot use private ip addresses or loopbacks in FeudalTools.

The database address provided must be accessible from public internet.

i tried using my public (external) ip address which is a very long address that includes numbers and colons based off the google search "what's my ip".

####:e###:a##a:###:##:c##e:cef:bad#

unfortunately, it still doesn't work.
says "Bad address format. Use ip:port or hostname:port."

is there a reason why my public ip address is so long compared to the usual ###.##.##.##

is the gameserver address and database address supposed to both be my public ip address only with different ports 28000 and 3306?

all im using is MariaDB and SteamCMD

please explain how to get this to work step by step. i like the idea of FeudalTools and there's really no other way to change your map as far as i know. sorry, this is all new to me.

Dont disable the firewall on your router.

Port Forward 3306 to the static IP of the pc your hosting the game on...

To port forward SQL:
3306-3310 TPC/UDP to 179.168.1.8

To port forward LIF:YO Server:
28000-28005 TPC/UDP to 179.168.1.8

Then I use my Public Internet IP address(you can find yours at http://www.whatsmyip.org/) which allows lif tools to direct SQL traffic into that pc because the port is forwarded..

So it looks like

Server:
12.144.22.12:28000
SQL:
12.144.22.12:3306

(Public IP check URL updated)

Thank you Teah! It seems very simple but only for those who already know it. Many of us are unable to get it to work but thanks to you I figured it out! I did everything you said and it should of worked but there was one little problem (blame it on human population). Google and the site you gave me was telling me my v6 public ip which is a ridiculously long and complex ip thanks to human over population when all I needed was my v4 public ip and I found out what it was at: http://whatismyip.host/

By using my v4 public ip and following your steps I was able to add my server to feudal tools and start using different maps.

You're a good person. I thank you.

Always happy to help. Sorry you had to wait so long for an answer.
