When running multi servers unless you want to waste space by doing multiple installs.
use +servercfgfile xxx in comandline of server to specify a different config file. to specify different mapcycles use +mapcyclefile xxx.txt command. For different motd use +motdfile xxxx.txt. eg for my lan server D:\HLServer\hlds.exe +servercfgfile matcha.cfg +mapcyclefile matchta.txt +motdfile motda.txt -port 27015 +ip 192.168.0.222 -nomaster -game cstrike -noipx +sv_lan 1 +maxplayers 20 +map cs_assault mapcyclefile, and motdfile comand can be used from server config as well. --- Stan Hoeppner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So, if he's running 2 CS servers, on his target > lines he would have > something like these:? > > c:\half-life\hlds.exe -game cstrike > c:\half-life\hlds.exe -game cstrike -port 27016 > -servercfgfile server1.cfg > -mapcyclefile mapcycle1.txt > > The 1st would default to the standard file names of > server.cfg and > mapcycle.txt, and the default port of 27015.
