Dedicated Server?

by Justin DuJardin · in General Discussion · 03/07/2002 (10:19 pm) · 4 replies

Is there a command line argument for this? If not anyone care to point me in the direction of implementing one?

you can setup a dedicated server by adding -dedicated -mission fps/data/missions/whatever.mis.
add this as parameter in your shortcut.

Cool, didn't know it needed the full path.

Now, how do I connect to a local ded server?
-connect 127.0.0.1:28000 doesn't seem to work

Basically I want to host dedicated in offline mode and join own server with client app just using shortcuts :D

Is there also a special way to use connect(); in console? using connect(127.0.0.1); gives syntax error, as does connect(127.0.0.1:28000); or connect('127.0.0.1:28000'); etc..

well, the parameters in the shortcut to connect doesn't work for me. so i do it over the console at the moment.
creat a dedicated server on your machine and start your game. open the console and type connect("127.0.0.1"); or whatever your ip is. then it starts automaticly the mission, you specific in the shortcut of your dedicated server.
This should work.
