GRAW 2 Server setup file

[viiiper]

There are 2 files that work together, this is the main one

sb_server_settings.xml the other is network xml. Any questions ask them here and stop the gaggle of threads on the GRAW2 server please. I will help answer your questions if you can not figure something out, but most is obvious. GRIN have included many comments and I can confirm they have made it so we/ you can edit and add features (as they promised).

If you ask a question I will edit the post and add the answer there and also in a reply post too. There are other scripts <!-- DEATH and DAMAGE --> (in multiplayer.xml)

This is the server settings file, similar to the old graw_server_yourserver.xml

but more powerful

===============================

<!-- PICKING A PORT

Choose a port number that is registered for general use. Registered ports range from 1024 to 49151.

If you do not have a registered port to use, review the list of assigned registered ports and choose a port in the range 5001 to 49151 that

is not in use. Ports 1024 to 5000 are also registered, however operating systems use ports in this range for client programs.

Consider registering a port you choose to use.

Choose a port number that does not contain patterns or have a known meaning. That is, avoid port numbers that more likely to be used by

others because they are easier to remember.

Do not use ports 1 to 1023. These ports are reserved for use by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

Avoid using ports 49152 through 65535. These are dynamic ports that operating systems use randomly. If you choose one of these ports, you

risk a potential port conflict.

There are some settings that seem to have the effect. For example...

<var name="kill_score_a" type="number" default="1" /> <!-- This the normal score given to a team_a player for killing an other team player -->

<var name="kill_score_b" type="number" default="1" /> <!-- This the normal score given to a team_a player for killing an other team player -->

Perhaps the comment for "kill_score_b" should be "This the normal score given to a team_b player for killing an other team player ".

BTW, thanks for starting this thread, viiiper. Good idea.

[Bota:16]

That is definately alot of options for servers.

[BOTA:X]

A lot of options for a server, so hopefully they'll actually release one with the game

[viiiper]

Yes ARDelta, You are right, I spotted a syntax error in one of the script files but I think GRIN would of put it right, so I did not bother them. The comment miss print comes from what programmers like doing best (me too), CUT-N-PASTE, and I'm sure it was to be like you said. The value defining the amount of points given for a std KILL.

There are 2 other files that have alot of other data, like adjusting the damage, per bullet, per shot to body etc. but that is another thread for another day. This file is the dedicated server script setting file and functions can be added and passed both ways from SERVER-->CLIENT & back with the sister file network.xml. GRIN have mad a big change with comments and explanations on how to add functionality.

out of the box you can already kick, ban and kill a player Without digging and looking into the bundle file.

[Papa6]

Grin...VERY, VERY nice. good work. now I must ask," is the ban done by command such as /ban_playername?

Edited July 1, 2007 by Papa6

[viiiper]

as graw /ban #4

By CD key (encrypted), by player name, by player I.P. any or all three

sample:

<ban hash_id="01869dcc0f1c138bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx9" name="YouDog" ip="xxx.xxx.xxx.xx8:37293" duration="0" date="2007-06-30 19:29" day="2455" time="19.483334" end_day="0" end_time="0" />

end=0 means forever and ever or 2456 would mean one day.

[Lightspeed]

to make all players ready before launching game -

is that general gameplay -

start_condition = 2

i think nutlink told me that - question is how do we know that 2 means everyone ready up?

where are all these server settings written?

thanks

interesting...

i believe pretty much any value listed in the sb_server_settings.xml could be placed into the dedicated_game_info.xml within the <gametype_settings> section. sorry if this is a well known fact.

i'm running a server and all of a sudden it started failing to load the next map, so i checked the server window and what do you know - next_map value was blank! i have no idea how that happened, but i added the line into the dedicated_game_info.xml, set the value to true and the server got updated! then i did that with message of the day, and spawn lock time. pretty neat.

Hi th33f,

yes, you can put allmost all the values from the "sb_server_settings.xml" in your "dedicated_game_info.xml". There is some settings that will be ignored depending on the current gamemode and I think there was one or two that could mess up the gamemode if you give it the wrong value. Dont remeber exact what it was, had the problem a couple a month ago. But I remember it was kind of obvious. (Something like switch_side="true" in a Deathmatch with only one team) =)

Question:

If we set this to false:

<var name="has_tag_system" type="boolean" default="true" /><!-- True if the players should be enabled to tag. -->

Would that eliminate they enemy tagging bug after a /restart_match? It might disable the tagging in RvsA, but that's not a deal breaker.

I just checked the code quick but as it looks it only enable/disable when players is tagging each other.

I'll look for the "tag players in spawn" and see if its possible to disable. Didnt write that part so im not 100% sure how it works.
