Yes port are active correctly(no error in logs), server runs. Just this 2 thing is going wrong. no enemies spaw and they cant see it.

The server could be set to peaceful which is why no enemies are spawning, also them not being able to see it shouldn't be an issue as long as they can connect through steam or 2 use the direct connect options is this hosted at home or thru a host/

give your friend the gameport and the ip address to the server and see if they can direct connect the enemies issue, check configs and see what difficulty it's on

port from the server to the routers ip goes thru the router to external IP and to the net is how i have the firewall set, router is servers gateway and the modem is the routers gateway
