I downloaded the latest version of FireDaemon and setup UT2K3 to run, but it simply starts an then craps out on some sort of error... as if it is not getting the parameters to it or comething.

I have taken the info I supplied and pasted it onto the command line to check it and it works fine.

Anyone else having this issue or anyone else have a better suggestion? I don't want to have to sign in in order to have the server run.

I also tried GameHost but I didn't like it and it may possibly have overwritten some Windows Files - not sure on this... mentioned something about HTML Help may be updated but didn't tell me wether it actually did update it or not.

I haven't had time to make the screenshots yet except for the output of the console window which I will insert here. I followed the FireDaemon instructions exactly and setup the working directory as:

C:\Program Files\Games\Demos\Unreal Tournament 2003\System

and setup the executable as

C:\Program Files\Games\Demos\Unreal Tournament 2003\System\ucc.exe

and as for parameters, no matter what I put, such as

server BR-Anubis.ut2

will give me the same popup as included here, and FireDaemon will continually try to start it.

Paste your starting command line here, I'm pretty sure I know the problem

Azazel, sorry for all the noobs here asking questions but i have another question concerning firedaemon also. i installed my server as a service and it runs fine but as soon as i log off, it stops.i installed it as an administrator and can log back on and it still says its started in the services but its not running in the task manager (the ucc.exe). so i have to open my services to and right click hit stop then hit start...but i cant log off or it shuts down.

Does the account you use have full admin rights to that machine?
Your account must have rights to "Log on as a Service" otherwise it will fail

Starting command line? I assume you mean the 'parameters'? It's the same thing I put into my .bat file:

server BR-Anubis.ut2?AdminName=adminname?AdminPassword=passw ord

of course, adminname and password are dummies.

Strange as this sounds, on your command lines where it says (for example)

[code:1:4b46b42df4]c:\program files\games\demos\unreal tournament 2003\[/code:1:4b46b42df4]

Try enclosing the names with spaces in quotes eg.
[code:1:4b46b42df4]c:\"program files"\games\demos\"unreal tournament 2003"\[/code:1:4b46b42df4]

by it starting and stopping perhaps there is soemthing wrong with the ini and not the service?

Try checking the log file and see if that helps point to a problem

As long as dirctory is set to system directory and executable is set to the ucc.exe with a valid start line i dont see why it would not work

Yeah, that's what confuses me... the same exact statements in a .bat file work fine.

Try putting the quotes on the outside of the command line, such as:

"c:\program files\games\demos\unreal tournament 2003\"

If that doesn't work, move the installation of UT2K3 to a folder that does not have spaces in the pathname, so that you don't have this problem, such as:

C:\UT2003Demo\

Yeah I've tried the quotesy way... was one of the first things I did

I believe it does have something to do with spaces in the path... I messaged firedaemon support to see what they say.
