Config and dedicated server

[Jirka0015 0]

I was asking about that in czech forum, but nobody was answering there, so I must try it here.

I wonder how to make complex config (there are very few parameters on Wiki) and how to control server without to be connected in the game. Because there are no way to write into console of dedicated server, if i'm sitting near that server...

And the last problem, for the moment, is, that i don't know how to turn on log file... command -netlog is not working...

More questions will be comming

I approve of this post. I'd also like to know.

I believe one of the BIS staffers said that netlog has been disabled... anything more, I can't tell you. I run a small dedicated server too and if I want to know what's going on in there or input commands, I have to log in using a client.

This is just a suggestion, I believe in the last patch that -netlog was implemented as per the version history in the Biki versionhistory

But search out the OFP MP forum from the beginning, search for netlog, there you will only one page of threads to look through.

hmm, -netlog, they say its been impleneted in the latest dedi server. but if it is then its worse than useless.

the nearest thing to a netlog that i found is the RPT files, but u don't need the netlog switch for that to work, it works on every server all the time and records server side info, script failures etc etc

it doesn't provide a server admin with any usefull information, player names that connect, but with session ID's that are not game ID's, so u can't use them for a ban, nothing about what filechecks were failed, who logged in as admin, here are some examples of what u can expect.

and here is what u get for players

HOLD ON, there are player ID's in there i hear u cry, nope none of those ID's are anything like the actual player ID's, if u sift through the information you end up with something like this

so u make up your own mind as to whether netlog works or not, and if u find it is working let me know where u find it, cause as it stands there is nothing, of any use that is.
