Need some advice on setting up my Dedicated Server

Ok so i decided to make my own Dedicated server so upon my first instincs i went to AA.com and checked out there guides. I found bulls basic dedicated server guide and i went from there. When i made my cfg file and completed it, it looked like this:

seta sv_hostname Daves Server
seta fraglimit 0
seta timelimit 25
seta sv_maplist dm/mohdm1 dm/mohdm2 dm/mohdm3 dm/mohdm5 dm/mohdm7
seta sv_allowDownload 0
seta sv_maxRate 9000
seta sv_maxPing 150
seta sv_fps 20
seta set flood_waitdelay 10
seta set flood_persecond 4
seta set flood_msgs 4
seta sv_pure 0
seta sv_gamespy 1
seta set g_inactiveKick 300
seta set g_inactiveSpectate 60
seta net_noipx 1
seta rconPassword

now im not sure if this is right because it didnt work when i clicked on the shortcut to my server. If u could tell me what i need to do to get it up and running that would be great. Im running with a cable modem. I went through bulls guide again and made sure i did everything correctly and i think this is the problem. Thanks!!!

Ok, here is the aa.com dedicated game server's server.cfg file

I would follow my cfg file and just make the changes to reflect your server.

Make sure you add "map" line after your map list. This tells the server to start with the map listed.

[code:22173]seta sv_hostname "=CKR= www.alliedassault.com members v1.11 custom maps TDM =CKR="
sets Admin "Rudedog"
seta g_motd "Visit www.alliedassault.com"
sets URL "www.alliedassault.com members"
sets Connection "FuLL T1"

net_noipx 1
net_port 12203

seta timelimit "15"
seta fraglimit "0"
seta flood_waitdelay "15"
seta flood_persecond "4"
seta flood_msgs "4"

set g_gametype 2
set g_teamdamage "0"
set g_inactiveSpectate "900"
set g_inactiveKick "900"
set g_allowjointime "5"

set rconpassword "*****"
set sv_pure "0"
set sv_maxclients "16"
set sv_privateClients "8"
set sv_privatepassword "bungee"
seta sv_minping "0"
seta sv_maxping "600"
seta sv_gamespy "1"
seta sv_allowDownload "0"
seta sv_maxRate "9000"
seta sv_fps "20"
seta sv_floodProtect "1"

seta sv_maplist "dm/mohdm1 dm/buzzbomb_raiders dm/mohdm2 dm/Arnhem dm/dm/mohdm3 dm/stalingrad2 dm/mohdm4 dm/urbansprawl dm/mohdm5 dm/dm_routenord dm/mohdm7 dm/dm_thunder"

map dm/mohdm1
[/code:22173]

You also forgot to add the game type line in your file

Limpbizkit1101 · 08-30-2002, 07:02 PM

ok copied and pasted that and do i need the quotations marks? I get an error that says couldn't exec serverXX.cfg. I saved it to the main folder. I dont know what is wrong.THANKS

You dont need them but use them anyways. It makes your code look cleaner.

Make sure you name this file the same name as the one you put in your shortcut. I call mine server.cfg my old provider use to call it serverffa.cfg so make sure the name in the shortcut matches the name of this file

This file should be placed in your MOH main dir.

restart MOH and it should take effect

What codes are u talking about?

rudedog · 08-30-2002, 07:48 PM

All that info inside your server.cfg file is script or code.

Limpbizkit1101 · 08-30-2002, 07:50 PM

Ok, I just tried it and it still wont work? The same message comes up

Limpbizkit1101 · 08-30-2002, 07:57 PM

Here is what my cfg file looks like:

seta sv_hostname "Daves Server"
sets Admin "Dave"
seta g_motd
sets URL
sets Connection "Cable"

net_noipx 1
net_port 12203

seta timelimit "15"
seta fraglimit "0"
seta flood_waitdelay "15"
seta flood_persecond "4"
seta flood_msgs "4"

set g_gametype 2
set g_teamdamage "0"
set g_inactiveSpectate "900"
set g_inactiveKick "900"
set g_allowjointime "5"

set rconpassword "*******"
set sv_pure "0"
set sv_maxclients "12"
set sv_privateClients "8"
set sv_privatepassword ""
seta sv_minping "0"
seta sv_maxping "200"
seta sv_gamespy "1"
seta sv_allowDownload "0"
seta sv_maxRate "9000"
seta sv_fps "20"
seta sv_floodProtect "1"

seta sv_maplist "dm/mohdm1 dm/mohdm2 dm/mohdm3 dm/mohdm4 dm/mohdm5 dm/mohdm7"

map dm/mohdm1

and here is what is in my shortcuts target:

+set dedicated 1 +set ui_console 1 +set g_gametype 1 +set sv_maxclients 12 +map dm/mohdm1 +exec server.cfg

I am having the same problem plus one. The code is correct, the shortcut name is correct, but it says it can't execute the cfg. It's in the "main" of MOHAA, but still, nothing. Does it have to be a .cfg file, because mine is a .txt or text file named server04.cfg i.e. server04.cfg.txt
Do I need to convert it somehow to just server04.cfg? How would I do that. Otherwise, all my ducks are in a row but it still ain't shootin'

Okay, I think I got it to work by putting +set exec server04.cfg.txt in the command line. It says it's "execing server04.cfg.txt" in the console when I am in the server. I'll test it some more, but please let me know if this is incorrect.

Just right click the file and rename it to server.cfg
There is no need to save it as a txt file.

You can however use wordpad to open cfg files as there just a txt file with a diff. extension.

good luck
