Well, I finally figured out how to set up a Raid server. It took me quite a while, as I had some confusion over the Raid title settings. So, to help anybody else who is thinking of setting their own server up, here's how I did it:
..............................................
Extract the 'Raid.Title.Pack.Gbx' into the /UserData/Packs folder (See meuh21's first post for the download & info links).
Extract his map pack into a folder inside /Maps
e.g. /Maps/Raid (remember this location when editing your maplist in MatchSettings file).
In 'dedicated_cfg.txt' file:
<title>Raid@meuh21</title>
In /UserData/Maps/MatchSettings file
e.g 'TMCanyon.txt':
<gameinfos>
<game_mode>1</game_mode>
<chat_time>10000</chat_time>
<finishtimeout>30</finishtimeout> <!-- 30 or more, allows time for others to finish after 1st place is done -->
<allwarmupduration>0</allwarmupduration>
<disablerespawn>0</disablerespawn>
<forceshowallopponents>0</forceshowallopponents>
<script_name></script_name>
<rounds_pointslimit>5</rounds_pointslimit> <!-- keep this number low to force single lap match -->
<rounds_usenewrules>0</rounds_usenewrules>
<rounds_forcedlaps>0</rounds_forcedlaps>
<rounds_pointslimitnewrules>5</rounds_pointslimitnewrules>
.... etc
Start script command line: (I use linux .sh script, Windows will of course use .bat)
./ManiaPlanetServer /game_settings=MatchSettings/TMCanyonA.txt /dedicated_cfg=dedicated_cfg.txt title=TMCanyon
Et voila!
