OldUnreal (Engine)

So It should be like this:

@echo off
:10
Unreal.exe DmAcademy.unr PORT=7777 LOG=dm.log -timestamplog READINI=unreal.ini -server
goto 10

what does timestamplog do?  Create a new one each time the server is restarted?

Timestamplog adds a timestamp (duh) to the log file's name

Can anyone post full list of command-line parameters?

Why don't you people like running the small comfortable UCC.exe instead of the bulky Unreal.exe? Plus, with variables you can put the batch anywhere, like on your Desktop.

Or just make a shortcut instead of a batch file.

Hi

I did first try the UCC but never got it running.

I asked about what timestamplog does because until I moved the comand to the list of variables it did nothing.

Now I moved it to the startup variables and I see the logs and the timestamps when the server is restarted. Thanks!

I am up and running so I guess its time to stick a fork in it.

I did find this in my initial search for resources:

Never really did find a good read on unreal 1 server batch file setup.

I built it by your assistance here and looking at ut2004 examples

By the way, what's wrong with Unreal Server Console? It's easier to use it than any batch files anyway.

I don't like to use batch files on WinXP very much, I used that on Win98 when I had it but not anymore...

But, remember, you can configure shortcuts to act very similar as batch files so there is no need to use them all the time.

I have a solution for you, and for you all who has a server, which crashes...

http://skw.net23.net/unreal_tools.html -> Server guard

Here is the code:

@echo off

color 0c

title Unreal-server guard v1.0
:start

echo =====================================================================
echo Server start
date /t
time /t

Set CURRDATE=CURRDATE.TMP
Set CURRTIME=CURRTIME.TMP

DATE /T > %CURRDATE%
TIME /T > %CURRTIME%

Set PARSEARG="eol=; tokens=1,2,3,4* delims=/, "
For /F %PARSEARG% %%i in (%CURRDATE%) Do SET YYYYMMDD=%%l%%k%%j

Set PARSEARG="eol=; tokens=1,2,3* delims=:, "
For /F %PARSEARG% %%i in (%CURRTIME%) Do Set HHMM=%%i%%j%%k

copy Unreal.ini Unreal-B.ini

echo.
start /wait /low Unreal.exe nyleve?game=UnrealShare.CoopGame -server

echo *********************************************************************
echo SERVER CRASHED!!!!!!!!
date /t
time /t

Set CURRDATE=CURRDATE.TMP
Set CURRTIME=CURRTIME.TMP

DATE /T > %CURRDATE%
TIME /T > %CURRTIME%

Set PARSEARG="eol=; tokens=1,2,3,4* delims=/, "
For /F %PARSEARG% %%i in (%CURRDATE%) Do SET YYYYMMDD=%%l%%k%%j

Set PARSEARG="eol=; tokens=1,2,3* delims=:, "
For /F %PARSEARG% %%i in (%CURRTIME%) Do Set HHMM=%%i%%j%%k

copy Unreal.log Logs\Crash-%YYYYMMDD%-%HHMM%.log

echo.
echo ---------------------------------------------------------------------
echo Please check Crash-%YYYYMMDD%-%HHMM%.log from Logs-folder
echo ---------------------------------------------------------------------
echo.

goto start




Put to System-folder.

Only thing you need to do is to change that "/low" to "/normal" or "/high". Put your startup commands after "start"-command and you need to create a "Logs"-folder. Please read readme!

No really, what's bad with UnrealServer? It doesn't restart or what?

Here's what I use for coop in a .bat file.
yes a command window does open and yes you can close it and unreal continues to run.
Zombie is correct on the wait time,
If you take a close look at server.doc (application)
you can see the format in it for restart and how to configure the wait time.

C:/unreal/system/unreal.exe/ CamelotCF?Game=JCoopz1?difficulty=3
?mutator=dzmapm.dzmapmutator -server log=server.log
All i do is click the .bat file on my desktop and i'm done.
