How to Save Your Server Settings?

Aholz · Post by **Aholz** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 7:39 pm

Alright, at school there's always a bunch of guys making servers, and everybody tries to beat and outwit each other.

I'm currently in first, since I can do the fancy stuff and all. But the annoying thing is, I always have to type this in quickly every single game:

Code: Select all

INCLUDE examples/single_use_turbo.cfg
CYCLE_BRAKE_DEPLETE .222
MAX_CLIENTS 10
CYCLE_RUBBER 25

Is there any way to save the settings? And I don't want to do the thing where you keep the server running while you're not there.

HELP!!!!

There, no more help from me. If it's just about 'outwitting' your friends, you're supposed to be smart enough to read the documentation.

I use settings_custom.cfg.

This probably isn't about dedicated servers but rather hybrid clients, which don't read settings_custom.cfg.

Heh, yeah. There's very little question that *we* could outwit your friends....

Hmmmm... these are all great suggestions, but I have a special computer (it's practically not mine and numerous things are blocked)

Is there any way to do it in the COMMAND in the game?

No. You have to have a cfg.
EDIT: but you could get ur settings from a map file.

I have yet to see a computer so locked down that you can't access your user folder (is that how windows calls it? no idea) while still being able to install arma. You're just not trying hard enough.

Ok, pay attention dumbass.

Look at the map code above. You do see it's a map, right? The settings you want to use...

CYCLE_BRAKE_DEPLETE .222
MAX_CLIENTS 10
CYCLE_RUBBER 25

...will go inside the <settings> tag of the map file. You want to edit the map for your server. The settings will load when the map loads. You don't have to type anything after that.

Code: Select all

<Map> 
   <Settings>
      <Setting name="CYCLE_BRAKE_DEPLETE" value=".222" /> 
      <Setting name="MAX_CLIENTS" value="10" /> 
      <Setting name="CYCLE_RUBBER" value="25" /> 
   </Settings>
      <World> 
         <Field>

Copy the text starting with <settings> and ending with </settings> and place it in your map file after <map> and before <world>.

If this is too complicated, you can use instant chats. However, this only works with version 0.3 right now. Look for it here if you don't have it yet: http://beta.armagetronad.net/

To use instant chats for editing settings, add "/console" before the setting. For example:

/console CYCLE_RUBBER 25

If you don't understand by this point, you need to spend more time reading the Wiki and looking through the Arma directory on your computer.
