A few q's for a JK2 Ded Sever Noobie

[Baker[Aus]]

Hi,

 

A few Q's If I may.

 

My server is running the latest Win32 dedicated server distro.

 

1. Dual Lightsaber (as Darth Maul used in Ep.1). Any way to get it into the server?

 

2. If I add maps to my server, do I need to change anything, or will they be used automatically in the map cycle? Will they auto-download to the clients?

 

3. Skins/New Lightsabers. If I use these (and install them on the server), will they be autodownloaded to the clients?

 

I have copied/pasted my server.cfg below, please tell me what I would need to change in it to allow what I want.

 

// Server Config
seta sv_hostname "Kevins Dedicated JKII Server"
seta g_motd "There is no monkey...." 
rconpassword "yeah, right"

seta sv_maxclients 16
seta g_inactivity 0
sv_maxRate 10000
set g_allowvote 1
set timelimit 10
set bot_minplayers 3
set capturelimit 20
set g_autoMapCycle 1

map ffa_bespin

 

Thank you all.

 

Regards,

 

Kevin Baker

A. to enable dual lightsabers, you have to turn cheats on. THIS IS BAD. That means people can use godmode and every other damn cheat there is. Don't do this.

 

B. Yes, from what I have seen you have to specify a custom map cycle. This is covered in custom map cycle threads on this page.

 

C.You don't want to have them autodownloaded from your server. That would take WAAAAYYY too long. Most skins are at least 1 Megabyte or more. My server has 40 custom skins (39.6 Megabytes) and another 600k in saber and weapon glow pk3's. Post links on a website, or host the files yourself and add in "custom skins" in your MOTD and give your webpage name.

 

below is my config file. I haven't edited the map rotation for custom yet. My server is FFA w/ weapons disabled

 

 

wrong server.cfg look at the one posted 2 below.

It looks like you have g_disableWeapon in there 3 times and don't have g_duelWeaponDisable in there at all. Is that intentional? You also have com_maxfps set and, unless you're playing on the same box, that doesn't make any difference since the server doesnt' render the game. Just trying to be helpful, not critical.

That was my other computers server.cfg my bad. Its hard to keep track of them all. I have all the harddrives on my computer mapped. I grabbed the wrong one. Here is my server.cfg:

 

// Server Config

seta sv_hostname "DeathsHead's WinServer Custom Skins"

set d2 "set g_gametype 0 ; map ffa_ns_streets ; set nextmap vstr d3"

set d3 "set g_gametype 0 ; map ffa_ns_hideout ; set nextmap vstr d4"

set d4 "set g_gametype 0 ; map ffa_bespin ; set nextmap vstr d5"

set d5 "set g_gametype 0 ; map ffa_raven ; set nextmap vstr d6"

set d6 "set g_gametype 0 ; map ffa_carbonfreeze ; set nextmap vstr d1"

 

map ffa_yavin

 

 

NOTE: do not use the seta g_dismember "1" line. It will crash your server from an OPstack error. I am using it for testing purposes for the last 24 hours.

Well, you still have g_disableWeapon in there more than once and don't have g_duelWeaponDisable set to anything meaningful. I also noticed that you have a map rotation in place, but don't use it. Is it properly rotating the maps? You have g_autoMapCycle set to 0 and yet the rotation isn't started by this config.

[Baker[Aus]]

OK, I still want to set up autodownloading, as it is a lan only server.

 

What settings do I need to change for that?

 

And also, with the extra maps, can DeathsHeads config be verified to be correct? What would I need to change in your config for LAN only play?

[Baker[Aus]]

Also, on a dedicated server, how would I set up the custom lightsaber mods to be autodownloaded and so the users can select them>

DeathsHead,

 

I noticed one error in your config. You have a custom rotation defined, but it will not be used because you start the game using "map ffa_yavin". You should change that to "vstr d1".

 

Also, on my server which is running as a duel server, I've pulled my map rotation out of the server file and made it a separate file so I can "hot swap" maps into the rotation at the end of a full cycle if I so choose. Which will make it a lot easier to add new maps should I decide to add them or to remove them.

 

Just a thought. I can include my config files if you want to see them.

 

Cheers,

Brit

Thanks for backing me up on that one.

 

Regarding autodownload....so far, the only reports I've gotten back are that only MAPS are downloaded and custom skins/etc are not (unless included in a map, which defeats part of the purpose). When I host LAN parties, I distribute CD's with all the extra maps, mods, etc. to everyone at the start. That way, it's quick and easy for them to all get on the same page, as it were.
