Need some help starting up my server, please

[Dutch]

Hello all,

I am new to the being a BaniMod server, but I am really trying hard.

I hope someone can help me. So if u can and u r reading this, please post a reply.

I wanted to start a server and after left-clicking the accept button in the "start server"-section I was redirected to Windows. The RTCW console popped up and contained this text:

[gotenks]

what's your cfg script your running to start it? oh and why are you running 1.33??????????

[Dutch]

First of all, thanx for your quick response Gotenks.

I am now downloading the patch to upgrade my 1.33 version to version 1.41. (Better? )

I don't think I understand your question 'bout the cfg file. What I did is the following:

I downloaded the BaniMod from RTCWfiles.com and extracted the files to my WinXP/Unzipped folder. Then I made a directory called Bani in my wolfenstein dir. I copied all the unzipped files to the banidir. There are now several *.cfg files in there.

Please accept my appologies for being such a PC-dummie. I am trying to bring joy to the ppl. Lol.

[=FF=im2good4u]

well im dutch to

if oyu want to run your server in banimod you first got wolf to run in banimod i dont know if oyu did this i dind see it in you console log

so ill post how to start wolf in banimod

create a short cut to wolfmp.exe

then goto the shortcut propety's

then you will target like
"c:/your/wolf/dir/return to castle wolfenstein/wolfmp.exe"

the add at the end of that line +fs_game bani

then you get this
"c:/your/wolf/dir/return to castle wolfenstein/wolfmp.exe" +fs_game bani

then save it

then run wolf by the new shortcut

if you create a server now it will be a banimod server

and if you create a server its normal you get back to windows. if you server is running you should a normal wolf and get new list to see if your server is listed or use "status"command to see if the server runs

i could explain it in dutch if you want

[gotenks]

we use a cfg file to set all our bani options.... a cfg file is just a list of commands that the server performs, you can set gravity, and others may want to consider using one

[=FF=im2good4u]

yeah we use a .cfg file aswell

we got +fs_game ffbani +exec ****.cfg

[Dutch]

Well, I'm happy to see that ppl are willing to give this cheesehead replies.

=FF=im2weak4u, I did add this line into the mp icon of RTCW. Still I got the list in my console, which I stated in my first post. Should i just leave it as it was and start up RTCW MP, alongside the console that is allready open?

Gotenks: could you be kind enough to send/show me an example of your cfg file? Should this file be placed in the Bani directory?

[Dutch]

HOLD ON

I just posted this reply and looked at your replies ... maybe I got it after all.

I should add:

+exec ****.cfg

to the multiplayershortcut goal as well. Where **** refers to the .cfg filename in my Bani directory??? Did i get it? Did i get it?

... Still would love to have an example of the contents of the .cfg file ...

Oh: you may speak to me in Dutch if you like, but then other viewers that show interest may not understand. However you could send me an e-mail or add me to your MSN messenger list.

Cheers [/b]

[duke'ku]

That means you started a dedicated server. The console is what should be seen for a dedicated server. Start another wolf application at the same time and you should be able to connect...

[=FF=im2good4u]

well if you added the line to it. it should load from $rtcw dir$/bani i think that where you installed your banimod files maybe in some other dir i dont know your comp

but if it runs in banimod you should see something like this in console

Code: Select all

well something like that anmd only if you have the bani sound pack installed

to make that line work in a shortcut you must make sure you installed every banimod this into $wolf dir$/bani else, it wont work or you got to chance the line into fs_game <mapname where banimod is istalled into>

this was idrotation.cfg

[=FF=im2good4u]

you can copy past it if you want make sure to chance name password and stuff

and save it as .cfg not .txt

just trying to help the NETHERLANDS

[Dutch]

You are all being a big help,

I will make the cfg file like you said by copying and pasting. I'll change the things that shouldn't be like the are now. Thanx.

Hope it'll work.

[=FF=im2good4u]

me2 then you should the name of the config scrip to the line aswell
