The server stores its settings in the file: %APPDATA%/Natural Selection 2/server.xml
If the file does not exist, it will create a default copy the first time it is run. The server options can be changed in the file manually, or they can be specified individually on the command line (those changes will be saved by default.) Optional command line settings are: -file [path] (allows you to specify a different configuration file for server settings) -name [name] (specifies the server name to be shown in the server browser) -map [name] (specifies the map to load) -ip [address] -port [number] (default is 27015) -limit [number] -lan [1 or 0, or true/false] (specifies how/if this map shows up in the master server list - default is false) -password [optional] -save [1 or 0, or true/false] - (specifies whether to save out command line overrides - default is true) Examples: Server.exe -map ns2_tram -limit 32 -lan false Server.exe -file "c:\my servers\config.xml" -map ns2_rockdown -lan true -save false On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 6:37 PM, msleeper <[email protected]>wrote: > Yeah you have to have the key for the Special Edition/Alpha to work.
