Trouble on starting own server

penguin21512 · **Trouble on starting own server -** 05-30-2003, 01:57 AM

Ok well I did all the things in "Bull's Basic Dedicated Server and Rcon Setup Guide " but everytime I click the shortcut for the server the end of the little window saw
"couldn't exec server01.cfg
couldn't exec rcon.cfg"
Which are the things with my server settings and my rcon password to use Crow King's Auto Kick. I've been doing this for over an hour can anyone lend some help??

I also have spearhead if that's the problem.

Also, i've downloaded some maps, what file do I need to put them in?

Basically if anyone can help me on setting up my own server i'd be forever grateful. I'm trying to use it with Autokick(Crow Kings') but I am not sure on how to get the RCon set-up. But I like how it's done in Bull's guide where you set up a shortcut and it has all the variable set up. Sorry if i'm asking a lot.

Firstly, in your main folder, is your server file called "server01.cfg"?
second, if you have a server.configuration file (like above) then you shouldnt need an rcon.cfg as it already had rcon in that ocnfiguration.

File names must be executed EXACTLY as they are written in your main folder.

Mine is called server.cfg

command line is
"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\MOHAA_server.exe" +exec server.cfg

server.cfg file looks like this

//GameType
//Game type is either 1 for free for all, 2 for team match, 3 for round match, 4 for objective game.
seta g_gametype "1"
seta g_gametypestring "free for all"

//Passwords
seta rconpassword "****"
seta g_password ""
seta sv_privatePassword ""

// Voting & General Settings
seta g_allowVote "0"
//seta g_complaintlimit "3" Unknownd if this is viable in MOHAA
seta g_teamForceBalance "1"
seta sv_maxclients "12"
seta sv_privateClients "0"
seta g_friendlyFire "0"
seta sv_floodProtect "1"
seta sv_maxPing "500"
seta sv_minPing "0"
seta sv_maxRate "8000"
seta sv_timelimit "60"
seta fraglimit "90"

//Master Servers
//Seta sv_gamespy "0" //disables gamespy reporting
seta sv_master1 "mohmaster.2015.com"
seta sv_master2 "master0.gamespy.com"

// Server Config
seta sv_pure 0 (This is the defualt - I wouldnt change it without reserach)
seta com_hunkMegs "96"
seta com_zoneMegs "32"

exec MoH_AdminMod.cfg

// The Map List
seta sv_maplist "dm/mohdm6 dm/mohdm7 dm/mohdm2"
// Sets the first map. I am doing some experimentation, but I would imagine you need to set up your maplist the standard Quake3 method for voting to work
map "dm/mohdm7"

As you notice, the server.cfg sets the rconpassword for you, therefor you dont really need an rcon.cfg

I don't have much time right now so ill check that later, and I went ahead and deleted the RCon.cgf, I forgot it was already in server01.cfg.

Would I just copy that into Notepad and make a few changes. Then save that as "server.cfg" in the "main" folder? Because i've had it as a shortcut on my desktop, so do I just ened to make sure the path is correct?

Hyndelyke-SS · 05-30-2003, 08:20 PM

Yes, save that, change it, and it has to be in the main folder. Also, like stated above, make sure the shortcut has those perameters in it. Re read the mohadmin info, it really helps.

The rcon config you can save. This keep you from having to type rcon address (IP) then rcon password (password), all you do is type exec rcon.cfg, much easier I think.

couldn't exec server.cfg

That's what I get. Can someone just copy down exactly what they have in their server. Paste the exact location of the files and what stuff needs to go where etc. Then I can change the variable to see if that works?
