do you have TALK_TO_MASTER set to 1
by default this is set to 0

this is in config/settings_dedicated.cfg

Then read this:

If it is evident that only you see your server on the master list and nobody else does, it means you haven't done port forwarding.

Oh yeah, and read the rest of the FAQ from that question on as well before asking any more questions, please :)

Config changes should go in autoexec.cfg so that they don't get overwritten by a server upgrade.

Convert the files to plain text and then you can save it as a .cfg file.

I just downloaded the Mac dedicated server dmg. It appears that it should go in the config folder inside the Armagetron Advanced Dedicated folder (after copying the latter to a writable place, of course). To run the server, open a Terminal window, type "cd " (without " but with space), drop the Armagetron Advanced Dedicated folder on the window, hit enter, and type "./armagetronad-dedicated" (again without ") and hit enter again.
