There are two ways to setup a EB-Server. You can use the
ingame GUI to create a listen server or a dedicated server.
To choose this way might cause problems sometimes the game will freeze or just
close when you are creating the server.
A much safer way is to use the DedicatedServer.bat that you find in your UT2004/EikoBattle
directory, it can also be found in your start menu under EikoBattle/EB-Server.
This file will run a dedicated server on your computer. The map list and other
variables will be based on your last successfully dedicated server's info.
If you want to change the setup of your server right click the .bat file and
choose "edit".
You will see this text:
@echo off
@echo on
@echo Starting Dedicated EikoBattle server
@echo EikoBattle by PigBear
@echo -------------------------
@echo off
:10
cd ..\System
ucc server EB-Invasion.ut2?game=Eiko.EikoGame?TimeLimit=20?MinPlayers=0
-mod=EikoBattle -LOG=EikoBattle.log
copy server.log EBServerLog.log
goto 10
The first parts are not interesting, it only writes text in your
command prompt.
this line:
ucc server EB-Invasion.ut2?game=Eiko.EikoGame?TimeLimit=20?MinPlayers=0
-mod=EikoBattle -LOG=EikoBattle.log
will start the server. We will take a look at the different parts of the command
line.
