Help with syntax and such

by NA1234567 · in Technical Issues · 10/04/2003 (5:19 pm) · 4 replies

I'm trying to work with the -dedicated feature for both the realmwars and default "test" applications.

Originally, when I ran realmwars, I forgot to specify "-mission filename" switch. I closed the console, and tried something along the lines of "realmwars -dedicated -mission /rw/data/missions/missionname.mis", but it refuses to find the map, and the errors are not verbose enough.

What's the syntax for this command, and where can I find documentation on all of the commands so I don't have to ask again?

Thanks.

Try

realmwars.exe -mod rw -dedicated -mission rw/data/missions/missionname.mis

As far as I know, Torque (and realmwars) sort of assume a max of 256 players. This is an easily changeable limit, but still, I think it's set in a few constants that you have to recompile to alter.

So you might get odd behaviour even if MaxPlayers is above 256, if you get more than that many connected.

Thanks for the heads up on that Ben.

Any idea where in the docs that sort of information might be listed?

Try grepping the source for the numbers 256, 255 and Player. That's the sort of thing that few enough people need that it's easier to just look in the source for it.
