The_Loserkid · Post by **The_Loserkid** » 06-05-2003 19:20

well, since i'm going to a lan party in a couple of weeks, and i'm bringing my p2 350mhz with a s3 virge in it, i wanted to create a batch file that would automatically start a deathball server

this is what i got:

@echo off
:10
ucc server DB-Smallcube?game=XGame.xDeathball?AdminName=The_Loserkid?AdminPassword=**?BalanceTeams=true?FF=.25?scorelimit=25?maxplayers=10?maxspectators=8?weaponstay=true?timelimit=20?Translocator=false?AllowBananas=true?AllowSprinting=true -log=server.log
copy server.log servercrash.log
goto 10

but the thing is, i can't get the bananas and sprinting an allow long shot settings to work

can neone help me

and ow yeah, could u plz tell me how to change the name of the server through this batch file ...

oh and btw, could u tell me if the scorelimit thing is right, cos i haven't had the chance to check that one yet ...

thx in advance

It's bBananas an bAllowedSprinting.

You're nuts trying to get a Deathball server running on that anyway.

nah, i know it works

dedicated server takes 0.5% of my p4 2.5ghz cpu speed

so it will work on that system

the ballowedsprinting thing works

but the bBananas=true doesn't work

and what's the command for enabling long shots ?

cos bAllowedLongShots doesn't work :S

bLongShots is what you're looking for.

in the LAN we had a couple of saturdays ago we had a UT2003 server running on a 733mhz P3 512mb ram and it ran ok with 8v8 Deathball

Eventually it crashed (Like most DB server tend to do) so we ended up running off someones p4 2.4 instead.. Wasnt a lot of difference tbh

EDIT:

One thing tho.. Why are u putting everything into the batch file? All I did was setup all the deathball settings in the ut2003.ini file how i wanted them as default, then just had a batch file that lauched the server on a set map.. worked fine

since configuring the ut2003.ini file is even more complicated than this batch file, i'm just gonna stick to the batch file

there are still 2 things that don't wanna work, the bana and the allowlongshots command:

@echo off
:10
ucc server DB-Smallcube?game=XGame.xDeathball?ServerName=Loserkid?AdminName=The_Loserkid?AdminPassword=***?BalanceTeams=true?FF=.25?scorelimit=25?maxplayers=10?maxspectators=8?weaponstay=true?timelimit=20?Translocator=false?bBananas=true?bAllowedSprinting=true?bLongShots=true?b2GoalWin=true
goto 10

can someone PLZ tell me what's wrong with my batch file, or send me one of their deathball batch files PLZ PLZ PLZ

I have to help setup a DB server later on tonight or tommorow. Can I just edit the UT2003.INI off my hard drive and then yupload it to the server later?! Where do I set all the stuff in it?! Like default map we want it to goto, sprinting on or off, etc?!

... or would it just be easier for me to copy and modify the batch file above?! What do I name the batch file and where do I stick it?!

By far the easiest method must be to start UT2003 set the options you require and tell it to run a dedicated server. Then change the Advanced options that wern't available in UT2003. This will have all the options you've set stored in the UT2003.ini file ready for copying to the server.

Not sure if that works using the batch file to run UCC though.

Ok, so I just unzip the zip and yupload it to the server via FTP to their proper directories, then I yupload the ut2003.ini I made here to the system directory and restart the server?! Everytime it crashes it should automatically goto Deathball now?! What about all the other settings in my ut2003.ini do they matter?! Because I have my ut set to 16-bit color and 800x600 rather than 1024x768.

How do I get into web admin?! Would it be http://our.ip.add.ress.here:80 ?!

Thanks for all your help.

If you remember corectly we ran it off 3 machines all crashing within 1 1/2 hours (not 1 machine every 1 1/2 hours, but 3 within every 1 1/2 hours) with the main same problem... (/me will write it down next time)
