Dedicated Servers - cfgs and parameters.

Recommended Posts

Hey guys - I've been reading a lot, but cant seem to find the documentation for what im looking for - and frankly, i dont know this engine very well, so i pre-apologize if any of this is 'newbish';

I've been running a 32 player warfare-be server (As well as Xeno's Domination) and one of the most annoying things, is having to have an admin set mission parameters each game start.

as per: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg

I believe i can (for example) set warfare's parameters in a mission class like:

class Missions
{
class warfareBe   // Mission Name
{
	template = "WarfareV2_063LiteOA.Takistan";	// File Name
	difficulty = "veteran";			// difficulty
               class Params   // Array that matches key/value to mission params?
               {
                 missionParameter = "Whatever";
                 someOtherParam = 1;
                 someThingElse = 2;
               };
};
};

If im wrong on this point, everything below will be gibberish;

At this point - Is there some easy way to find all the real variable names?

I've done a quick check of warfare-be's initJIPcompatible.sqf and found a few of the vars, for example:

campRespawn = true;

mobileRespawn = true;

campRespawnRule = true;

I assume i can define these as i stated above? What about parameters that arent so clear-cut, for example;

//--- Funds.

missionNamespace setVariable ['WFBE_EASTSTARTINGMONEY',(paramsArray select _u)];_u = _u + 1;

missionNamespace setVariable ['WFBE_WESTSTARTINGMONEY',(paramsArray select _u)];_u = _u + 1;

Can those be defined as:

WFBE_WESTSTARTINGMONEY = 8000;

(I assume that they cannot be)

Do any of you server admins have configs for warfare or domination you can share? Am i on the right track?

Thanks for your help!

I'm probably way off topic now with all these references but

they could be useful for future questions.
