problem with linux server

[chriske]

at first i didnt even see my server come in the server list. i coud connect to it usin open IP. Now i have it in the server list but its named ass the username you need to login.

In all the ini files i found this:

[Engine.GameReplicationInfo]
ServerName=Worldofchris.nl[1] 100mbit Linux Dedicated
ShortName=Worldofchris.nl[1] 100mbit Linux Dedicated
MessageOfTheDay=Worldofchris.nl[1] 100mbit Linux Dedicated

my username i made for my server is server1. In the serverlist i see my game named server1. I dont like this. How do i change the name?

you need to make a new gamespy login for the server with the name you want to use, as atm that is how it displays the name.

[chriske]

but i see alot of gameservers with different names!

[chriske]

there isnt a command u can use in the command start line where you can specify the servername?

[Naked_Ape]

?ServerDescription=?

That gets prepended with your server account login name to form the servers full name.

No Server has more ladders as 15 or? The Serverlogin Name is the Servername. Perhaps it's a bug or a new function. Now gamespy host the master servers, that's the reason why you need a server login account.

i c alot of other gameservers that can choose there own name.

[apophis.ch]

Which one?

All the Server are built as:

<login>+<serverDescription>

chose wisely, and you can build whatever Name you want.

and with the account name i run the server with. Can i run 1 server with 1 account name or more servers under 1 account name?

[Killa200]

I just made an account with our company name as the login name, and then used the <ServerDescription> to add info about which server of our company's it is.

and with the account name i run the server with. Can i run 1 server with 1 account name or more servers under 1 account name?

Each Server needs its own account :)

and before you ask: yeah and now you have to be Creative...

[chriske]

./ut3demo server VCTF-Suspense?GameMode=3?bIsDedicated=True?MaxPlayers=32?TimeLimit=20?GoalScore=8?ServerDescription=Test worldofchris TEST -login=test -password=test

this a correct start line? it now shows up as test: test and not test: test worldofchris test.

No the Server Description is not allowed to have Spaces, if you want spaces you have to use for example this Server Description Generator:

Just copy paste it where you have your description now.
