Dedicated server parameters - How?

nuggetz · October 24, 2008

What would my server.cfg look like if I wanted to specify the different parameters for a Benny or Domination map? For example, if I wanted to just enable the teleport to base option and set that to yes instead of "NO" in Domination, what would I need to put into my config file?

AFAIK this can't be triggered in the server.cfg

Those are mission specific settings.

Thanks for that Cross, but what do you mean by use values? I pasted your code in the server.cfg and none of the parameters appear to be taking effect. Where exactly do I inject your code structure wise in the config file? Can someone share a full working server.cfg example that addresses my problem? I tried changing the default = X sections but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Here's the top of my server.cfg

class Missions
{
  class Mission01
  {
  template = co30_Domination_2_17A2_West_AI_OA.Takistan;
  param1 =
  param2 =

       texts[] = {"West Route","South Route","East Route","Complete, ordered","Random 2","Random 4","Random 6","Random 8","Random 10","Random 12","Random 14","Random 16","Random 18","Random 21"};
#endif

#ifdef __TT__
       values[] = {2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20};
       default = 8;
       texts[] = {"2","4","6","8","10","12","14","16","18","20"};
#endif

#ifdef __EVERON__

       default = 8;
       texts[] = {"2","4","6","8","10","12","14","16","18"};
#endif
   };

   class d_TimeOfDay {
       title = "Time of day:";

You don't need to copy/paste parameters to the cfg. You need to enter the required one to the param1 or param2 area.

Remove the list of parameters from server.cfg .. you dont need them there.

Only have the below one. I entered the class name in param1-2-3 area. Lets see if that works. If it doesn't you'll need to find out the rank of the parameter and use that ..like param26=

class Missions
{
  class Mission01
  {
  template = co30_Domination_2_17A2_West_AI_OA.Takistan;
  d_WithMHQTeleport = 0
  WithTeleToBase = 1

  };//end of this mission

};//end of missions

and if it doesnt work then try this as they are the 6th and 7th parameters.

class Missions
{
  class Mission01
  {
  template = co30_Domination_2_17A2_West_AI_OA.Takistan;
  paramsArray[5] = 0
  paramsArray[6] = 1

  };//end of this mission

};//end of missions

Assume I know nothing about this. Its still not clear whether or not I need to keep any of the original code that you posted in the config or not. You say remove the list of parameters from the server.cfg and I assume that means all the code you gave me in your first post... Is that correct? I guess you were just trying to tell me the names of the parameters, correct? And you pulled that code from deep within the Domi mission itself? I think I'm getting it now.

You only need teh part below in the server.cfg .. of course modified as in my second post.

class Missions
{
  class Mission01
  {
  template = co30_Domination_2_17A2_West_AI_OA.Takistan;
  param1 =
  param2 = 
  };//end of this mission

};//end of missions

Yes I copied the parameters section from Domi to see how many are there and their names & values etc..

The problem is you need to enter

paramsArray=[1,0,2,80,0,2,1,4,.............]

after the template line above.

paramsarray should have all the parameters and values. There are like 40 parameters in domi so you need to have 40 values in the array separated with commas. I'm trying to avoid it at the moment.

Now the real problem is there are some switches which turns some parameters on/off and therefore the number of parameters is changing.

Say with ACE you have 42 parameters, without ace you have 39, in ranked ace you have 45 etc...and these switches are in the middle so if they change the relative position of that setting in the array changes too.

Also there is a piece of script in Domi that says if paramsArray is not defined, then use the defaults values.

If the above codes do not work, the easiest way is to open the Domi mission pbo and change the default values for those settings in the description.ext file so that it will enable say "teleport-to-base" option by default.

You'll need to re-pbo it and you'll need to do this for every domi mission and for every new version.

IF you are playing only one domination version, then editing the description.ext is the easiest solution.
