is it possible to change the started gametype and map true ftp acces it seems to start on openplaying nali castle wich gives me the intro on the server lol.
i can't change the start command line and the company does not know how they could fix it.

[Shivaxi]

If you make a shortcut to the unreal.exe file for running a dedicated server, in properties of the shortcut, the startup line, after the directory path, you want to add "map?game=gametype -server"

without quotes of course

So an example would looking like "c:\unreal\system nyleve?game=unrealshare.coopgame -server"



iirc there's a bunch of tutorials on this sort of thing ain't there?

[pickledegg]

i found a .bat in the ftp folder do i change that one too?

in it its : Unreal.exe -server DmDeck16?Game=UnrealShare.DeathMatchGame?multihome=213.163.68.232

[Shivaxi]

uh...batch files don't come with Unreal do they?

[pickledegg]

no but when i restart the server using the website from the host it probably starts with that .bat file i think.
so it looks more obious if i should change something there?

[Shivaxi]

Wait what? You're using a website to host an Unreal server? huh??

And as for that command line...looks fine...really depends on what u want kind of server u want to run....dunno what that multihome IP thing is at the end though...

[pickledegg]

well website iets a serverhosting company.
multihome is probably becouse more servers are running on that machine.
the command line from the exe file is rlly strange its line @ftp:293.352.263/unreal.exe lol

[[§Ŕ] ŤhěxĐâŕkśîđěŕ]

@ftp:293.352.263/unreal.exe

I'm not sure what do you mean by that, but did you try ftp:293.352.263/unreal.exe DmDeck16?Game=UnrealShare.DeathMatchGame -server

And yeah, what do you mean by that? lol

[pickledegg]

@ftp:293.352.263/unreal.exe

I'm not sure what do you mean by that, but did you try ftp:293.352.263/unreal.exe DmDeck16?Game=UnrealShare.DeathMatchGame -server

And yeah, what do you mean by that? lol

well that is the command line of unreal.exe true my ftp acces

[[§Ŕ] ŤhěxĐâŕkśîđěŕ]

Um...

What ftp client do you use?

[pickledegg]

i use filezilla but i don't think that really matters does it?

[[§Ŕ] ŤhěxĐâŕkśîđěŕ]

I don't know, I never saw a way of accessing something like that... But whatever... Did you try what I said before (putting the map name and game type after your ftp command thing)?

[pickledegg]

yes i tried but no succes i now opened a ticket at support to ask them to
fix this, i'm not paying for a server that just plays the intro.

[Shivaxi]

I dunno why you'd pay for a server in the first place...can't you run it yourself? There's loads of tutorials on how...

[pickledegg]

i ran it myself some years but i got tired of getting over my bandwitch in
only 17 day, and since i now have a laptop it not good for servers.

[Shivaxi]

Well that depends...Unreal doesn't take a lot to host...the only thing your laptop really needs is like half a gig of ram to run an Unreal server...and I'm sure u got more than that. And what do u mean u went over your bandwidth in 17 days? That doesn't make any sense lol...

If bandwidth is a problem, you can always lower the ammount of players that can join....why don't u post your laptop specs and internet upload rate here...

[pickledegg]

well i mean i have a limit of 20 gigs a month and thats not much, if im over it my download will be slow very slow.

Processor:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P7350 @ 2.00GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.0GHz
Memory:

Hard Drive:

Video Card:
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT

[Marzanna]

which ftp command do you use to run binary file?

[pickledegg]

don't know they gave me start and stop button

[Shivaxi]

What kind of ISP limits the amount u can download and upload a month?

And that computer is definitely more than capable of running an unreal server

[pickledegg]

my isp is belgacom i pay 39€ each month for it and i don't want to pay more its alot of money.

[Shivaxi]

heh...well...I suppose I could always host a server for you...I already host for others anyway....one more couldn't hurt could it?

I'll have to wait till after Xmas though, cause i'm running an extra DM server atm for the Xmas theme...but we'll see when the time comes if you're still having trouble with this.

[pickledegg]

well this is very nice of you but i have payed in front for a year hosting.
i can't get my money back after a week so.... kinda sucks

[pickledegg]

Wow that really sucks....go tell them to give u 227 or 225...

And it depends what u want from the 225 Unreal.ini...mods aren't installed in the ini...they are in seperate .u files =/
