Setting up an dedicated Internetserver (by
DI-Mammut & DI-MeisterM)
::Preparing a server.cfg file::
The
first thing you have to do is open Notepad and create
an empty server.cfg file in the Daikatana\data folder.
You can make you own server.cfg file using the explanation
listed in Server.cfg commands or download a collection
of server configurations here.
::Running
a game server::
You can run a dedicated game server using this command
daikatana.exe -dedicated –public
+exec server.cfg +set port x
The
command and be add in a shortcut for the daikatana.exe
or run from a command prompt. If you don’t list any port
the default port will be 27992. Running a dedicated game
server will start up a command prompt. The command prompt
list the players that are joining the game and the following
commands can be useful when typed in the command prompt:
Say -> uses for taking to the players
like “t” in the game
status -> shows who is on your server,
what their pings are, their scores, what map is being
played, and what their userid is.
kick “userid” -> To kick a person
from your server
gamemap “xyz” -> change the map on
the server to “e1dm1” or what ever
::Port
and Firewall issues::
If you use a firewall make sure that your port x and port
x - 10 are open. For example if you use the default port
27992 then it need to be open in your firewall (uses both
TCP and UDP) together with the port 27982 (uses UDP only).
You can run several game servers on your
PC using different ports e.g.:
daikatana.exe
-dedicated +exec server.cfg +set port 27999
(port 27999 and 27989 open)
daikatana.exe -dedicated +exec server.cfg
+set port 27998
(port 27998 and 27988 open)
If
they are not open, people won't be able to connect to
your server!
::Server.cfg
commands::
// -> Is used for comments
Example: //DI-MeisterM's Gibbler CFG
set
hostname "name" -> This is the servername
which will be visible in any game browser, like GameSpy or
All Seeing Eye.
Example: set hostname "DI-MeisterM's Server #1"
set
public "1" -> Set to 1 will make your
server visible for all others. If 0, it won't appear in the
server lists, but you can still join if you know the IP address.
set
motd "xyz" -> Message of the day. Everytime
you join this server you will see at the beginning the message
"xyz". You can replace it with anything you want.
Example: set motd "Welcome to DI-MeisterM's Server! |
Enjoy fragging "
set
maxclients "x" -> This sets up the server
to a maximum of "x" players.
Example: set maxclients "3"
This allows 3 players to join your server.
set
timelimit "x" -> You'll be able to kick
butts in "x" minutes.
Example: set timelimit "20"
The server will run the first map 20 minutes and will then
change to the next map.
set
dm_use_skill_system "0" -> "0"
disables the Skillystem and "1" enables it.
set
dm_weapon_stay "1" -> If it's set to
"0" the weapons will disappear if you collect them.
They will spawn in a couple of time.
set
dm_fast_switch "1" -> If it's set to
"1" you'll be able to switch between your weapons
faster than normal.
set
dm_falling_damage "0" -> Enables and
disables the falling damage. On default it's on.
set
dm_same_map "1" -> If it's set to "1"
the map will be repeated unlimited, it's only the same map
all the time.
set
dm_spawn_farthest "1" -> If it's set
to "1" you won't need to hit fire to respawn. It
allows you a faster gameplay.
set
map "xyz" -> Loads map "xyz".
This command should be placed in the last line of your config.
Example: set map "e1dm1a"
This loads the map "Gibbler on the Roof (Original)".
For a default maplist, scroll down!
set
dm_weap_noallow "number" -> This sets
the weapons which WON'T appear in a game. Scroll down for
explanation!
set
maps_dm "map1 map2 map3" -> You can
set a bunch of maps which will be loaded after and after.
You can also mix different episodes!
Example: set maps_dm "e1dm1a e1dm2a e3dm1 e4dm1"
This loads the maps "Gibbler on the Roof (Original)",
"Storm Sector 7 (Original)", "Wizard's Roost"
and "The Dojo".
