How to start and config dod source

[bittersoed]

Is there any easy way to learn about setting up a
dod source server ?

We have tried to make a config file but must
admit that we need more generel knowledg about the
whole setup

So any link to a easy "knowledge base" would
be helpfull

What we need to know is:

How to start the server with custom config
file and map rotation ?

Is the only port that we need to open 27015 ?

How to disable a class ala sniper or mg ?

This is what we have so far :

hostname "xxxx"
password "xxxx"

That is all of your class restrictions. I havent used the DoD console much but i am 95% sure thats what they are

woo i really need to buy dod:s.. so i can run a server for it, and maybe learn the cvars for it lol. but as car as the custom config, make a server.cfg file and put it in the cfg folder. and for map rotation, edit the mapcycle.txt file in the game directory.

[Beck]

Im bittersoeds friend, doing this setup with him.

Yes, those are the class restrictions, we found listing the cvars from the server console.

Heres the Qs we need answered for now:

1) We want to test the server, so is the only port we need to open 27015?

2) How do we make the server use the server cfg?? (We have started the server so far from the Steam GUI)

3) We want to disable the MG, rocket and sniper classes, how do we do that?

Thnx in advance!

1. yes, just 27015 tcp and udp. (as long as the server is set to that port, which its default to that)

2. as long as the server.cfg file is in the config folder it will read it. just be positive its not server.cfg.txt

3. i have no idea.. lol. i have never even play dod:s.. hopefully zealot looks at this again, or someone else that knows.

OK...downloaded SRCDS with DODS and installed on my F-drive in my games (spil) folder.
Made config file server.cfg

mapcyclefile "mapcycle.txt"

load ban files
exec listip.cfg
exec banned.cfg

Placed in the cfg folder for dod

Made mapcycly.txt file:

Quote:dod_argentan
dod_avalanche
dod_flash
dod_donner
dod_anzio

Placed in the dod folder

Tried to start SRCDS with this command:
f:\spil\hlserver\srcds.exe -console -game dods -port 27015 +maxplayers 24 +map dod_anzio +exec server.cfg

NO RESPONSE!!??

Nothing shows up in the taskmanager?!

Any ideas?

[skeletor]

the game is just dod.. and you don't have to have +exec server.cfg it automatically does it... don't ask my why its just dod for dod:s o don't know, lol.

[Beck]

Cool! It works!
It does however show some errors...will post them

Whats wrong?

[skeletor]

looks like your missin a load of textures from the map.. try re-running the update tool with -verify_all to make sure you have all the files.. other then that, i don't know.

/edit-this might be common for the server though, i haven't ran a dods server yet, but i know for a while on css servers it output a bunch of them forever, but they fixed them for css..

really though, if it works with out any noticable problems.. i generally ignore it. lol

[Beck]

We (me and "bittersoed") are gonna try the server tonight with 20 friends

Ill let you all know how it goes and post a general guide to a basic DOD:S server

[Beck]

We couldnt really use the server, but that was much more likekly due to the connection speed and not the server installation.

Ill post a guide in the other forum...
