help with dedicated server
 

Aight I'm trying to start a dedicated server and I put all that shit on a word pad document and named it serverXX.cfg. I also put it in my MAIN folder in my MOHAA directory. But when i try to start it, it says "couldn't exec serverXX.cfg". And yes i added the proper variables to the target box in the properties of the MOHAA shortcut.(.....+exec serverXX.cfg)
Please someone help me figure this out, because I am very confused. oOo:

did you save you cfg file as text or just rename the file to cfg, look in properties to see what it is.

not sure if you know what i mean but i made the same mistake first, sure someone could explain it better.

I think jww had a lot of experience with this one. biggrin:

Follow his instructions. Make sure you save as plain text, with the ext. cfg

your better off using notepad instead of word or wordpad. Word /workpad adds a lot of formatting txt that the cfg file does not like

LoL rudedog you told me this not so long ago, glad your help came to good use, but you explain thing a little better but i will get there, i guess this is what its all about sharing info and helping others, excellent forum guys keep it going.

I learned the lesson of not using Wordpad for any game editing besides README'S (heh) when I was making skins back in my Jedi Knight days. I would use it and totally destroy this models.dat file with the re-coding of Wordpad. It. . .sucked. heh

ok its text...but same problem still hapennin...

Yes, but did you use wordpad or notepad?

i used notepad
