Just do a search! The most handy thing ever. You can do it with visual studio or with Tribal IDE. I dont know how i woud code anything without a search feature.. :)

Hint: Search for V12 or test or server, or all of them if it supports it.

in server/scripts/game.cs the first line I think...

// Host game type is the game type displayed in the master server
// This variable should uniquely identify your game and/or mod.
$Server::GameType = "v12 Experiment";

well I tried all that and I don't think that it is that file. I noticed that the string that seems to define it is in example/server/serverPref.cs, if you change the string it will change back to "v12 test server" I deleted the file and it reappeared so I presume it is being created each time the game loads which makes me wonder if this string is actually part of the hard code and has to be changed I will try and find sed file but if any one could speed things up for me and tell me if I'm on the right path, or not please feel free thanks Anthony

I did search of v12 directory (f3 key) for string and it reported 4 occurrences:
clientPrefs.cs "$Pref::Server::Name = "V12 Test Server";"

serverDefaults.cs "$Pref::Server::Name = "V12 Test Server";"

serverPrefs.cs "$Pref::Server::Info = "This is a V12 Test Server.";"

and
serverDefaults.cs.dso

I guess from the string that you are looking for that script is either clientPrefs or serverDefaults.

I think the serverPrefs and serverDefaults aren't being read in correctly. Changing the clientPrefs value should do the trick.

Matthew is correct, there is a bug with the server/serverPrefs.cs file not being executed correctly. You need to make your changes to the base/scripts (client|server)Defeaults.cs files.
