Dedicated Server Howto Show Mission Loaded

Recommended Posts

I have a dedicated server setup for a Sector Control Mission that just cycles this one mission.  (Down the road I want it to cycle different PVP missions). 

 

I'm just wondering how do you get the server to show the Mission loaded from the multiplayer server browser menu?  For example even if the server is empty, I want it to show the mission type being SC, and the mission name being "PVP Sector Control".  So people looking for that type of game can easily find it in the server browser.

 

I tried putting the server in persistent mode, but that causes the server to not end and restart the mission properly when all of the respawn tickets are depleted. After restarting the server, I tried just logging in and then exiting the server as a player, and that seems to put it in a "Creating" state which seems to be ok.  Just not sure if this is the right away to do it.

This kind of thing is to do with the mission file's Description.ext. The link can be daunting at first, so i'll run you through with what you asked for. Firstly we'll sort the names for the mission.

 

onLoadName = "_Text_";  -  will display your desired text when loading into the mission, good to have if not done already as well as in the lobby menu. (uselly mission name.)

 

overviewText = "_Text_"; Displays text in the mission selection screen.

 

 

class Header {
    gameType = COOP;                                                                                // Game type displayed in server browser.
    minPlayers = 1;                                                                                       // Min # of players the MISSION supports.
    maxPlayers = 68;                                                                                    // Max # of players the MISSION supports, not server slots. Make sure # is greater than server slots.
};

Full list of "gameType" parameter can be found Here.

 


Alternativly, you can use the 3D editor and goto

"Attributes" >> "General" >> "Sceanrio Name"                                       // Change for Names

"Attributes" >> "Multiplayer" >> "Type"                                                   // Change for GAMETYPE

 

Hope this helped :D
