As promised I've made some config files for some possible server configurations which you can find at http://www.outerlight.com/serverconfigs/.
We'll be setting our servers to Team VIP mode only, but hope that admins will pick some different options to give a selection. Players will be able to use the 'votemode' command to change the game mode if they want anyway unless disabled at the server.

Do you have a 'good' server.cfg somewhere with the settings most players like? Quite often the default configs for servers are pretty poor.. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Wilson Sent: Thursday, 8 February 2007 10:47 a.m. To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com; hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] The Ship Free Weekend 9th-11th Feb Hi Everyone, I'm sending out a request on behalf of Outerlight, creators of The Ship for the community to host some dedicated servers for the Free Weekend that is taking place over Steam this weekend coming. We'd be very grateful if anyone with the resources could host some server instances for the duration of the weekend to give trial players a good experience as we've had too many listen servers running on previous weekends distorting first impressions of the game. We've just recently added a new map and our first team modes - Team Elimination and Team VIP to add to the existing non-team Hunt, Eliminiation and Deathmatch. The dedicated server for The Ship works both on windows and linux, delivered via the hlsupdatetool as per other Source servers. However, it does not use the base source engine files and should not be installed on top of a CS, HL2DM server etc.. but in a separate folder. With the hldsupdatetool installed into a new folder the commands to install the server are Windows : HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "ship" -dir C:\theship\ Linux : ./steam -command update -game ship -dir . A server.cfg file lives in ship/cfg/ which can be tweaked - it should look very familiar to other source config files. The server can then be run via Windows : C:\theship\srcds.exe -console +hostport 27015 -game ship +map atalanta +maxplayers 16 +servercfgfile server.cfg +mapcyclefile mapcycle.txt +log on Linux : ./srcds_run -game ship +map atalanta +maxplayers 16 -autoupdate +servercfgfile server.cfg +mapcyclefile mapcycle.txt +log on If you have any questions or need help with setup and configuration feel free to post to the list or reply to me directly. Thanks for any help you can give and hope to see you on board :) Ed -- [ smime.p7s of type application/x-pkcs7-signature deleted ] -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
