Source Dedicated Server: DoD

[interested]

how do i alter the default server.cfg file that is used by DOD source?
given that there is none in the folder to begin with and i have no idea as to where to begin on making my own.

I have (for CSS) always used a web generated cfg, or the mani admin cfg.

I guess with time there will be some made for DOD, but for now any tips will help.

Thanks

you could just put the cvars you want to alter in the server.cfg file.. you don't have to put everything.. i mean you can just make one thats like

Code:

hostname <name>
rcon_password <password>
ip <ipaddress>
sv_contact <email>
sv_region <number of the area your at>

ya know something like that.. you don't have to have everything.. just the basics.


note-thats assumeing all them cvars are the same as css. im currently too poor to purchase dod:s.. =(

Thanks for that JoeSoap - very helpful

I have my server up at running with 24 slots - cant check on how many are on it as I am at work.

sv_maxrate 640000 Wow

How come your maxrate is set to high ? In CSS the highest we would normally set maxrate to is 25000. 640000 is a really big number.

Any reason for that ?

[skeletor]

too many 0's?? lol.

[BradJ]

nice!

Probably going to sound like a noob but im new to the source servers anyway my question

set it to more than one map ? can i do that

[skeletor]

atta time.. no.. it can't be on 2 maps at once.. lol, but map cycle for more then one map? yea.. just make a mapcycle.txt file with all the maps, put it in the root directory, like dod for dod:s or cstrike for css.. and you would need something like mp_timlimit XX to tell the server when to change maps.

[Trip]

right made it and set the time but how do i tell the server to use those maps ?

thx for help btw

[BuRn]

add

+mapcyclefile filename

to your server startup line.

Linux Example: ./srcds_run -console -game dod +ip XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX +hostport XXXXX +map dod_anzio +maxplayers 20 +mapcyclefile maplist.txt -autoupdate

Windows Example: srcds.exe -console -game dod +ip XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX +hostport XXXXX +map dod_anzio +maxplayers 20 +mapcyclefile maplist.txt -autoupdate

[lilgabey]

I follwed the instructions and used a server.cfg that I got from a legitimate source. What do all these error messages mean? And also, the server doesn't come up on the server list? Whats wrong? Im new to this and am quite confused. Thanks

well that means that your missing a whole bunch of materials for that map.. and it looks like you have cvars in your server.cfg that are cheat cvars? you should probly take them out... lol. and it says your ban files are too big.. how do you have a 20 mb ban file? 0.o hmmmm but other then that it looks like it all workd... and remember if this is at your house, and ur behind a router.. it probly won't show up on the internet list for you.

[Trizik]

lilgabey, there's nothing wrong with those console messages. Your server should work just fine as long as you bound the right ip/port and opened the port (27015 by default) if you're behind a router.

As far as I can tell, the "not found" errors are just SRCDS bugs that have no affect on the server. I get the errors too even though the files exist in my dods SRCDS installation.

skill1.cfg couldn't exec because it wasn't included with the dods SRCDS installation. Not your fault or worry.

The "Can't use cheat cvars..." messages are my fault. I have updated the thread to remove those cvars from the example server.cfg. Thanks for pointing this out.

The "file size larger than 20MB" messages will go away after you ban someone by IP and Steam ID. For some reason that message displays when the ban files are empty.

"couldn't exec dod_anzio.cfg" doesn't do any harm. It just means you don't have a separate config file for that map in C:\srcds\dod\maps\cfg

"Connection to Steam servers successful" means your server is online and should be viewable on the server list. Look carefully, it should be there if you opened the right port.

"Bad challenge" means nothing. Ignore it.
