gc8 970 Posted February 1, 2021 Hi I need to shutdown server if certain startup conditions are not met. Does anyone know such command ? I tried this on server: "password" serverCommand "#shutdown"; but I get error: "Failed attempt to execute serverCommand '#shutdown' by server." thx! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larrow 2796 Posted February 1, 2021 Works fine for me on my local dedicated. I presume you have setup the serverCommandPassword in your server.cfg? and are executing the serverCommand command on the server . https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Larrow 2796 Posted February 1, 2021 Admin password and serverCommandPassword are not the same thing. As for Tadst been a long time since I looked at it so cannot be of help other than the link I provided about server configuration, sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gc8 970 Posted February 2, 2021 Ok I thought simply returning to lobby would be the ideal thing but with persistent battle field the server keeps auto starting the mission. so is shutdown my only option here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about "#Restart" ? Force the server to restart the mission from scratch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Force the server to restart the mission from scratch. with persistent battlefield it would restart the whole mission with default parameters right? returning to lobby and staying there would be ideal. but persistent battlefield this probably is not possible as it will always auto start the mission Edit: When I said persistent battlefield I meant that and the auto init setting!

Returning players to lobby does just as it says, returning players to the lobby does not restart a mission, the mission is still running whether persistent is set or not. i.e the lobby is part of the mission, thats why you can see the specific roles available in the mission.

gc8 970 Posted February 3, 2021 It says here that -autoInit uses default parameters... so I guess no point supporting -autoInit then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
