Can't get server up!

[MsicPro]

Doesnt it say not to modify?

[Z-Man]

It does. The proper way to change settings would be indeed to create a new configuration file in the same directory, named settings_custom.cfg, copy the bits you want to modify over there (and only those bits) and only make changes in the new file. That way, your changes won't be overwritten when you install a new version of the server and it's easier to get your settings back to defaults. If you can, follow that route. If not, no biggie, editing the original files won't break anything.

[MsicPro]

ugh, well that will take a while won't it

[Z-Man]

Not really. As I said, you don't have to do all that much with those configuration files at this point.

[MsicPro]

But how does making a different file actually put that data into the server? How does it connect?

[Z-Man]

That way:

SINCLUDE settings_custom.cfg

This include command includes the file settings_custom.cfg. It's SINCLUDE, not INCLUDE, so that if the file doesn't exist, no error is printed. 'S' for 'silent'.

[MsicPro]

what would happen if i just did SINCLUDE settings_dedicated

[Z-Man]

You don't have to, that's already automatically included by the program.

[MsicPro]

any possible way u could do it 4 me and link the file. just the main stuff i would need. then any small changes i could make?

[syllabear]

what makes you think you can run a server if you will just get someone to do every little bit for you?

I'm sure there are people you could pay that would gladly do it for you though

[MsicPro]

ugh. was just asking nicely

[Dalsue]

Dont mind sylla he can be a dick sometimes.
Come back to G5s and ill tell you how, no tricks

[Z-Man]

The config file only gets you halfway, you still need to read the port forwarding page and follow its instructions. But here it is:
