Re: [hlds] maxplayers in server.cfg for hlds
Yes, and given that the parsing style is limited (line based) this may solve you a minor problem. The only really likely time I could see it being an issue is if someone accidentally (or on purpose?!) uses some kind of text-flattener on their cfg - i've also seen some nasty ones generated by a few scripts. If you wanted to take it further you could look up the unix commands (available as binaries for windows) grep, awk, sed. AWK is actually a simple pattern programming language, but they are all commonly used for this kind of processing and are more powerful than windows for loops and find.

If an illegal variable is detected, the wont allow the service to start. It will then squirt out and email to me and the client letting them know an illegal variable has been detected. Rather than change or remove it with the script, the client can change their server.cfg and restart the server. But, your way has merits too. I just have to figure out which is more fool proof. I like the idea of being notified by email with no changes being made, so I can actually go look myself in case a mistake is made. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of James Tucker Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2005 10:42 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] maxplayers in server.cfg for hlds Yes indeed you can use the principle to do any cvar of course. The only thing you need to watch out for are potentially lines might be written like so: sv_something 1; sv_somethingelse 2; maxplayers 234; mp_another 0; As a solution you could build a parser with the for loop command which produces a carriage return after every semi-colon. But don't forget that you need to ignore semi-colon's inside of certain parenthesis. Isn't parsing fun? - You probably don't need to worry, but if you wanted to be complete... ...just a sidenote.

Re: [hlds] maxplayers in server.cfg for hlds
Yes indeed you can use the principle to do any cvar of course. The only thing you need to watch out for are potentially lines might be written like so: sv_something 1; sv_somethingelse 2; maxplayers 234; mp_another 0; As a solution you could build a parser with the for loop command which produces a carriage return after every semi-colon. But don't forget that you need to ignore semi-colon's inside of certain parenthesis. Isn't parsing fun? - You probably don't need to worry, but if you wanted to be complete... ...just a sidenote.

RE: [hlds] maxplayers in server.cfg for hlds
actually im sort of thinking of a variation that does not allow the server to start. It will run before the service starts. If an illegal variable is detected, the wont allow the service to start. It will then squirt out and email to me and the client letting them know an illegal variable has been detected. Rather than change or remove it with the script, the client can change their server.cfg and restart the server. But, your way has merits too. I just have to figure out which is more fool proof. I like the idea of being notified by email with no changes being made, so I can actually go look myself in case a mistake is made. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of James Tucker Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2005 10:42 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] maxplayers in server.cfg for hlds Yes indeed you can use the principle to do any cvar of course.

Try not specifying the player count in the command line. - Original Message - From: dexion [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2005 3:14 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] maxplayers in server.cfg for hlds I guess i wasnt clear enough. When launching a hlds server in the command line one must specify a maxplayers -maxplayers 10 for instance.
