Problem Naming Dedicated Server...Please Help

[laoch 0]

We have a really strange problem. We are trying to set up a dedicated server and for some strange reason the server name defaults to the computer name. We have modified the server config file but every time the server shows up with the name of the computer instead of the server name assigned in the config file. It is running behind a router. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Are you using -config=server.cfg in the parameter line?

Yes.. here's what I am using:

C:\ArmA\arma_server.exe config=server.cfg -cfg=arma.cfg -profiles=profiles -port=2302 -netlog

Heres the server.cfg:

// comments are written with "//" in front of them.

Hostname="RimmerWorld";

passwordAdmin=bugger; // password to protect admin access

reportingIP="armedass.master.gamespy.com";

verifySignatures=0; //Signature Verification broken in 1.08

voteMissionPlayers=1; //amount of players to vote mission after one ends used after map rotation.

voteThreshold=0.15;

maxPlayers=42;

motdInterval=5;

kickduplicate=1; // do not allow duplicate id

persistent=0; //keeps game server running after players leave 0=off 1=on

equalModRequired=0; //Makes Players who join have to have the same mod folder as server to be able to join.

LogFile="Logfile_Public.log";

//Von options

disableVoN=0; //disable=1 on=0

vonCodecQuality=0; //speek codex 1-10 defult 3

// Message of The day

motd[]=

{

"Welcome To Rimmer's Server",

"Players that Tk, Cheat, hack are considered offensive and shall be banned",

"Have fun, play nice and don't be a smeghead.",

};

//Cheat detection

checkfile=0; //1=slow 0=default

onHackedData="kick (_this select 0)"; //auto ban hacked addons

onDifferentData="kick (_this select 0)"; //auto kick modified files

It also won't show the MOTD's either. But the admin login works.

Combined with:

vonCodecQuality=0;

maxPlayers = 30;

equalModRequired=0;

logFile = "server_console.log";

verifySignatures = 0;

persistent = 1;

checkfiles[] = {};

onUserConnected="{}";

onUserDisconnected="{}";

doubleIdDetected="{}";

regularCheck = "{}";

onDifferentData = "{}";

onUnsignedData = "kick (_this select 0)";

onHackedData = "kick (_this select 0)";

Fixed:

The name of the file in the ARMA folder should be saved as "server.cfg" and not renamed in windows to server.cfg.

When saved as server.cfg it show up in windows as just "server" (no quotes)

Course now I can't connect to the game but that's a different problem....

First when trying to diagnose problems it would be better to stick with one script instead of keep changing things i.e.-

You have now two entries for Message of the Day
