Server Change Requests

[Whitey]

Excuse my ignorance but is this a standalone tool?

No, it comes as part of the game server and normally starts when the game server starts.  There's nothing extra I normally need to do to get it working.

I couldn't get on main console as I guess your on looking OB but I can see that the config files have been overwritten by the update :sad:

Been looking for ages ... completely cross-eyed :blink:

Managed to find where things like the server name are set but buggered if I can see anywhere to set up this local webserver gizmo.:sad:

[Whitey]

I've copied the config files in from the backup directory and it should be OK once restarted.

The configs that matter for this are:
C:\servers\ro2\rogame\config\ROWeb.ini and
C:\servers\ro2\rogame\configROWebAdmin.ini

Backups of these files are in:
C:\servers\ro2\rogame\config\Backup

Just need to wait until the server is quiet to restart it.

All done and, as it's been a while, server rebooted.

You the man thanks chief

RO2 Rcon still not working for me Sparko.

I restarted and it's still not working so there must be something i've missed.  I'll get another look at it after the raid.

[Blunt]

RO2 rcon still not working,
and now the BF3 server isn't showing up as online.

[Whitey]

It is now.  I've had to make the config files readonly as it kept changing them to not include the webadmin parts when it started. :g:

Thanks Whitey

Sniper Elite v2 is available as of now in America and some European countries.

It's due for release here on 4th May 2012.

However the dedicated server files will be out anytime between now and then.

Please can someone keep an eye on our servers version of steam and install/ set up a server for sniper elite v2 as soon as its live?

Initially the the ded server exe was listed as a separate game in the all games section of steam this ic being correct and will soon be listed within the tools section.       

Below is a list of server commands.

Thanks!

------------------------------------------------
1. System Requirements
------------------------------------------------

We recommend the following network capacities for dedicated server hosting:

upload speed: 1024kbps
d/load speed: 256kbps

We also recommend for best performance that you run the server using a
publically accessible IP.

To host the server you should use a computer with the following
specification or better:

Operating System: Windows Vista / 7
Processor: Intel® Core 2 Duo E6400 or equivalent processor
Memory: 2 GB System RAM (XP) / 3 GB System RAM (Vista / 7)
Hard Drive: 16 GB free space

Note: The game's performance may differ according to your computer's hardware
and/or video card. Computers with high-performance hardware will provide the
best game performance.

------------------------------------------------
2. Quickstart Guide
------------------------------------------------

i) Launch the dedicated server application

ii) Add a map to the map rotation, for example:
 
  > MapRotation.AddMap QUARRY DM

iii) Start the server:

  > Server.Host
 
------------------------------------------------
3. Commands And Configuration Files
------------------------------------------------

Please see the separate CommandReference.pdf document for details of all
the commands available on the dedicated server.

You can use configuration files in order to execute a particular sequence of
commands, either on demand or at server start up. By default the server will
look for a configuration file called "default.cfg" and execute the commands
in that. You can use these configuration files for setting up map rotations,
game rules, etc.

If you wish to execute a different configuration file at start up then you
can use the "-exec" command line option to do so. For example:

  SniperV2CLI.exe -exec other.cfg

Note that the server will still attempt to run commands from "default.cfg"
in addition. It is however fine for that file to be empty or absent.
 
Advanced users may want to specify a particular IP address to bind to. This
can be done by adding -IP= on the command line, e.g.

   SniperV2CLI.exe -IP=192.168.0.1 -exec other.cfg

An example configuration file named 'example.cfg' is provided with the server.

------------------------------------------------
4. Ports
------------------------------------------------

The following ports are used by SniperV2 and can be set on the dedicated server.
If you wish to run multiple server instances on a single machine then, after
ensuring that the machine's specification is up to the task, you will also
need to specify different ports for all of the below for each instance. The
easiest way of doing this will be to setup a different configuration file for
each server containing this information and also things like the server name.

Note: You must set the ports to be used before the server has started hosting
(i.e. before the 'host' command is invoked).

   Description                        Protocol   Command      Open*
                                                                   
   Steam authorisation port           UDP        authport     NO    
   Steam master server updater port   UDP        updateport   YES  
   Lobby data port                    TCP        lobbyport    YES  
   Game data port                     UDP        gameport     YES  
                                                                   
* This field indicates that the port should be open to incoming traffic. If
the dedicated server is behind a router and/or firewall the port will need to
be added to the firewall exemptions and/or forwarded on the router

------------------------------------------------
5. Banning Players
------------------------------------------------

Banned players are added to a list which is stored on the dedicated server, a
player must be actively playing on the server to be banned. To remove a
player from the server, or ban them, perform the following steps:

i) Find the player.
Use the 'Server.ListPlayers' command to display a list of the active players.

ii) Kick and ban the player.
To kick and ban the player use 'Server.KickBan'
Pass the name of the player to be kicked, you may specify a substring of the
player name and it wil be matched against active players. Do not use spaces.

------------------------------------------------

[GhostMjr]

Right what we are looking for is this:

In Steam select "Library" then change "All Games" to "Tools". The SEV2 dedicated server should be in the list.

Unfortunately it is not listed at the moment.  Please let us know when it is.

Unfortunately it is not listed at the moment.  Please let us know when it is.

Found this workaround, make any sense to anyone?

I got the files with HLDS.

http://srcds.com/ - Download the tool here, Install it.

Then create a .bat file similar to this:

D:\Servers\hldsupdatetool -command update -game "sniperelitev2" -dir ./sv2/
