You're correct. I just like to be more consistent with my servers and files. > What about other shared files, such as the motd.txt, etc? Or would he > handle those in the server1.cfg file accordingly? I would think he'd want a > 2nd motd file with the server name of the 2nd server in it. Well, if you look at my last example lines again, you'll notice that the third param is "+motdfile motd_27015.txt". I believe that the rule of thumb with parameters is that actual HLDS parameters such as "port" and "game" use the "-" prefix while all commands used in console are prefixed with a "+". So, in your example above, just change the "-servercfgfile" and "-mapcyclefile" to "+servercfgfile" and "+mapcyclefile" accordingly. Maybe Valve can verify this confusion. Or, better yet, allow either the "+" or "-" to be used for all parameters. Ok, here is the list of parameters we have used during this thread: -game <mod directory name> -noipx <disable the IPX protocol which will eliminate the IPX check and error> -port <port used if not the default 27015> +exec <filename of file to execute located in the mod directory> +map <name of the map to start with located in the mod\maps directory> +mapcyclefile <filename of the mapcycle.txt file located in the mod directory> +maxplayers <number of players to set as the maximum> +motdfile <filename of the motd.txt file located in the mod directory> +servercfgfile <filename of the server.cfg file located in the mod directory> You can put maxplayers into the server.cfg file if you like. Also, I believe that if you want the "+servercfgfile" to be used during the first load, you have to do the "+exec" parameter with the same filename used in the "+servercfgfile".
