Elite/Joust Dedicated Server guide required
Posted: 15 Jul 2012, 22:50
The dedicated Server Wiki is driving me up the wall with its lack of instructions specific to Elite/Joust.
I can run a Storm server no problem because all the files, Folder structure is there in the dedicated server package.
Elite/Joust is just totally lacking is clear, concise information to the point where Im tearing my hair out.
From another thread I started, but was directed here:
Ok I have a the following:
ManiaPlanetServer.exe /title=SMStorm /game_settings=MatchSettings/SMElite.txt /dedicated_cfg=dedicated_cfgElite.default.txt
SMElite.txt:
I have copied Elite.Title.Pack.Gbx to D:\ManiaPlanetBetaServer\UserData\Maps\ShootMania\EliteArena\Elite
Run the server and it says :
Im at a loss now as I see nowhere where the default Elite maps are stored as .GBx files other than the Elite.Title.Pack.Gbx which I have copied but the server still says it cannot find????
PLEASE PLEASE can you add dedicated sub-sections to the Wiki explaining to to set up Joust, Elite etc as the dedicated server package doesn't appear to have anything there by default and I'm going around in circles because the current Wiki is not clear at all when it comes to the add on games
The Dedicated Server package only appears to have correct folders etc for the Storm gametypes.
My Server runs successfully if I run the default RunSrvSM.bat file so I know its not an issue with by install or hardware/OS etc.
