Starting and restarting probs -
27-05-2005
Hi
First of all when the server loader starts my hlds under WinXP it stops at the HLDS startup dialogBox. From there, I have to manually click the start server push button. That sort of defeats the purpose of having a server loader as a service in the first place. I figure I must have left something out. So here is the file:
[Settings]
ServiceName = (mEAn) Server Loader
RestartInterval = 5000
NumberOfProcesses = 1
ServicePriority = Low
UserInterface = yes
[Process_0]
StartDir =
ProcessName = HLDS.exe
AppName = C:\Progra~1\Valve\HLServer\hlds.exe
CommandLine = +maxplayers 18 +map de_dust2 +localinfo mgamedll epodbot/epb.dll +localinfo mbotmod podbot
StartPause = 1000
StopPause = 1000
UserInterface = Yes
AutoRestart = Yes
Priority = normal
Paused = No
Window = Minimize
Can you see what's causing this?
Also, this may be an issue of HLDS just sucking. And, while it's not really a ServerLoader issue, maybe you guys have come across it and know what the hell is going on. I've asked around the steampowered.com folks as well as other forums and got no reply.
This is what's happening. I have set the server.cfg up the way that your docs recommend. However, it seems that some cvars are getting reset.
Example - My server.cfg has the line:
mapchangecfgfile "server.cfg"
sv_region is set to 255 in the server.cfg, but after map change sv_region gets set to -1. What tha ....? Other cvars look Ok though. I don't know if it's the same for some of the m_* commands or not, but I'm still testing.
Thanks
