I am trying to create my own server for me and a few friends. I am trying to do this from a batch file using the code
“C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\et.exe” +set dedicated 0 +set net_port 27960 +set fs_game etpro +set fs_homepath 27960 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg
however when i double click the batch file it opens the game and it does nothing else. Please help!!! What am i doing wrong???
i wrote a .txt file with the “C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\et.exe” +set dedicated 0 +set net_port 27960 +set fs_game etpro +set fs_homepath 27960 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg in it. Then i renamed it to a .bat file. When i try to launch the server using this .bat file it just opens up the game.

I no that i am probably doin somethin really n00Bish i just cant figure out what.
BTW i was tryin to follow this tutorial http://www.rtcw.jolt.co.uk/content/enemy_territory/server_guide/index.html
In the command line… it should be +set dedicated 1 or 2, not 0.
Then within the server.cfg :
There are ways of these settings being overrided and reset. So just check things carefully and maybe someone else can pick up on things I might have overlooked. I probably did considering I am dog tired.
-Cheers ( I should’ve been in bed hours ago…::yawn:: )
not if he wants to play from the server it shouldnt. sv_wwwDownload and suchlike also arent likely to be causing the stated problems.
noob@everything,
seeing that your running windows, put that command line into a shortcut instead of a batch file.
else, cut the map rotation and just put in the line map battery instead, then see if it loads. also check server.cfg is not actually server.cfg.txt, if your windows is set to hide extensions for known file types.
I’m really not sure how you came from following that site to coming up with that server cfg?

Yeah, I should have explained myself better, but then again, you wouldn’t have had to post!!! 
noob@everything:
the problem with your batch file is most likely that it is actually .bat.txt but windows is hiding the second extention. You can turn off “hide extensions of known filetypes” in explorer options, and save yourself some confusion.
not if he wants to play from the server it shouldnt.[/quote]
FWIW, even if you want to play on the machine hosting the game, it is a good idea to run a dedicated server, and connect to that locally (by ip), rather than running a listen server. There are a number of weirdnesses associated with listen servers, and the extra resources required arn’t a problem if you have a reasonably modern machine.
If you are going to host a server, it is a very good idea to host it from a clean install of et, with only whatever specific maps you want to play. ET has a number of problems that crop up when you have too many files or campaigns. You can either install et in a second location, or copy your et install, and then delete all the .pk3 files except for mp_bin.pk3, pak0.pk3 and pak1.pk3. I’d also suggest a fresh install of whatever mod you are going to run. If you decide to copy your et install, you might want to avoid copying the demos and screenshots directories, to save yourself some time and space.

my explorer options are fine so it isnt the ending of the .bat file. when i try to run a dedicated server for the internet (dedicated 2) it starts up the ET console and then it crashes. Here is the et console:

PunkBuster Server: Game Version [ET 2.56 win-x86 Sep 5 2003]
Then it says something about client initialization but i cant get it because it crashes and freezes.
it says
---------------------client initialization-----------------------------------
---------------------initialization rendering----------------------------
--------------------client initialization complete----------------------
--------------------CL_Shutdown------------------------------
RE_Shutdown (1)
then i get a ET.exe has encountered a problem message and it asks if i want to send an error report to microsoft. What do i do?
try moving all those non-official .pk3 files into a temp folder.
In etmain, you’ll need to keep mp_bin.pk3, pak0.pk3, pak1.pk3
in etpro, keep EITHER etpro-3_1_0.pk3 or etpro-3_1_9.pk3
and make sure you have only the .dlls that go with that .pk3 (you can extract cgame and ui from it directly, and get qagame from the etpro download for that version).
As I said before, if you are going to host a server, it is a very good idea to start with a clean instal, rather than trying to use your normal online play one.l
i fixed everything. I did what DG said earlier - used a shortcut. I made a dedicated and joined it and it works fine thx guys
However it is super laggy. Would you know how to fix the lag?
i fixed the lag - i created a listen server from the shortcut and it works fine
however, it doesnt send heartbeats to the master server(s)
how would i fix this?
It only sends heartbeat when it is a dedictaed internet server, i.e. dedicated 2.
Fortunately, since it means most of the servers in the master list are on proper servers.
So, basically you want to play the game with other players on the same computer that you are running the server on.
You can lower the ‘maxrate/setrate’ down.
BTW, what is your bandwidth ? Cable, DSL ? You will need a good connection to even try to run one that can support 10 players @ setrate 13000.
Your best bet would be to lower the maxrate/setrate to about 4000 and cross your fingers that the server won’t suck.
After You post what your bandwidth is, I am sure you will receive more suggestions on what to do.
yes, set dedicated 2
:moo:
You shouldn’t use a listen server for public play. Since it is trivial to run a listen server and client on the same machine, there is no need to. You also most likely shouldn’t use a server hosted on a normal home connection for public play, although that depends on your connection and how many players you want to host. You should have at least 6-10 kbyte/sec upload for each player. The more players you have, the more you need per player.
eb:
setrate ?
