The - (hyphen) is for command line switches of the dedicated server. Examples: -maxplayers 20 -game cstrike -tickrate 66 -port 27016 -ip
You use the + (plus sign) in the command line when you are adding a console command to the command line, in order to execute it immediately on startup. Any console command can be set this way. For example: +sv_lan 1 +hostname "1337 Server" +tv_port 27021 More information: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_Line_Options Example of our tf2 testbox: C:\SRCDS\orangebox\srcds.exe -game tf -console +maxplayers 24 +map ctf_2fort +log 1 -ip 192.168.1.101 +hostport 27025 +rcon_password blablabla -ticrate 66 ________________________________ From: Chad Austin <[email protected]> To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 6:15:59 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Make server use certain IP and Port Do you have the one for windows. or is it really +ip in windows?
