  1. - Introduction -

    Renegade, in 4.0, will have the ability to download new maps from a server's remote file repository.

    When a player is missing the map it will be automatically downloaded and installed on the client whereafter the client can immediately play the map,

    no game-restart is required.

    - PackageEditor -

    The PackageEditor is used on the server to create so called packages which are installed on the server and uploaded to an offsite repository.

    When a map package is installed the clients connecting to the server will download said package from the repository url set in the tt.cfg file.

    - Commands -

    convert ---- convert a mix file into a packageinstall ---- install a converted mix file into the packages systemuninstall -- uninstall a converted mix file from the packages systemdownload --- download a map package from a remote repository urllist ------- list all installed packages
    - Converting Maps into usable Packages -

    Open a Command Prompt window and change directory to where your server is installed.

    First we need to convert the map into a usable package by typing:

    PackageEditor convert "data\C&C_Mediterranean.mix" 1.0 zunnie [enter]
    When the converting has been processed a message like the following will appear in the Command prompt window:

    Package was saved to 'C:\Servers\UberMapPack\UltraFDS\UltraServer\ttfs/packages/00091e55.tpi'. You can now install it via 'packageeditor install 00091e55'.
    We need to install the package when we created one. The Command prompt will output an ID we can use for that, in our for example the ID is 00091e55.

    We can install our package by typing the following:

    PackageEditor install "00091e55" [enter]
    - Notes -

    Note that we do not enter the .mix extension when installing a package.

    When installation is completed a new folder will be created in your server's folder called "ttfs".

    Upload the contents from this folder to your website repositoryUrl and enter this url into your tt.cfg configfile.

    Players who connect to your server will then download the packages from your website.

  2. - svrcfg_cnc.ini -

    The standard game configuration file whjich resides in your server's Data folder.

    The server game configuration file handles various things such as Game Title, Maximum Players and Passworded Servers.

    Note that the Maprotation entries -although present in the svrcfg_cnc.ini- are moved to tt.cfg

    Making changes to the maprotation inside svrcfg_cnc.ini has no effect.

  3. - tt.cfg -

    The new way of configuring several aspects of your server.

    Notice that the gameDefinitions lack the C&C_ prefix and that the corresponding maps in the rotation lack the C&C_ prefix as well.

    Only C&C_ prefixes are used in the gameDefinitions mapName and packages to download.

    Maps that do not have any additional packages to be downloaded can be added to the rotation with their C&C_ prefix.

    In this example the maps FieldTS, GlacierTS and Lunar_Landing will download an additional package called quake and the maps DesertTunnels and Field will load a custom objects.aow modded presets file.

    The quake package contains sounds which will play when players reach certain kills in a row without dying such as Firstblood, Multikill, Killingspree and Godlike.

    These sounds can be enabled or disabled in ssgm.ini through the option PlayQuakeSounds. To manually create a package for quake download the file and use the packageeditor to turn it into a package: quake.zip

    Example tt.cfg configuration:

    gameDefinitions:{	FieldTS:	{		mapName = "C&C_FieldTS";		packages = ["C&C_FieldTS", "quake"];	};	GlacierTS:	{		mapName = "C&C_GlacierTS";		packages = ["C&C_GlacierTS", "quake"];	};	Lunar_Landing:	{		mapName = "C&C_Lunar_Landing";		packages = ["C&C_Lunar_Landing", "quake"];	};	DesertTunnels:	{		mapName = "C&C_DesertTunnels";		packages = ["C&C_DesertTunnels","quake"];		serverPresetsFile = "objects.aow";	};	Field:	{		mapName = "C&C_Field";		packages = ["quake"];		serverPresetsFile = "objects.aow";	};};/* Note that the rotation is a list of quoted maps without the .mix extension.Also note that the last map in the rotation does not have the ending comma. */rotation:[	"FieldTS",	"GlacierTS",	"Lunar_Landing",	"DesertTunnels",	"Field",	"C&C_Mesa",	"C&C_Canyon",	"C&C_Hourglass",	"C&C_Islands",	"C&C_Complex",	"C&C_Under"];/* downloader and its repositoryUrl control where the server will send clients to to download custom maps and content. */downloader:{	repositoryUrl = "http://ttfs.ultraaow.com/";};

  5. - Introduction -
    To run a Renegade Dedicated Server you need to install the Renegade FDS (Renegade Free Dedicated Server).
    A dedicated server is basically a command prompt type program which allows for Renegade Clients to connect
    and play on the server. Dedicated servers are usually unattended and you cannot play as the host while running
    a dedicated server. Running a dedicated server also enables you to run SSGM 4.0 and/or other special modifications
    which are unavailable for the game client.

     

    - MPF Public FDS Package -

    You can now download a prepared package of the FDS with DA 1.92 and TT 4.6 applied, source code included with examples @




    - Downloads -
    You can download the RenegadeFDS installation file on for example multiplayerforums over here:
    http://multiplayerforums.com/index.php?/files/file/8-renegade-fds-1037zip/


    - Installation -
    After you have installed the Renegade FDS, copy the contents of the serverfiles folder from the 4.0 server download into the FDS folder.
    Edit server.ini, svrcfg_cnc.ini, tt.cfg and ssgm.ini as per the documentation in this topic.
    You then also need to install the Visual C++ runtime libraries and the DirectX runtimes from the "redist" folder.
    The server.exe file in the 4.1 server download is the one you should be using as it has been modified.
    You do not need to apply the "no gameplay pending" patch to it as that patch is now a server.ini option.
    Make sure anticheat.ini is in the data folder otherwise the anti-cheat will probably kick you even with stock renegade files.


    - Requirements -
    When running the server in Westwood Online Mode (or XWIS these days) you require a valid serial number to run the server.
    This can be a FDS Serial or your Renegade Client serial.
    In GameSpy mode there are no requirements.


    - Notes for WOL Mode (XWIS) -
    To get passed the WOL installation for the RenegadeFDS you need to enter a (fake) serial number that starts with 0669.
    For example: 0669714956637887900319 ( Note: This is a fake serial and you cannot host a server in XWIS/WOL mode with this serial,
    it is only provided for you so you can get passed the installation dialogs. )

  8. lol, i've done this shit so much the last 2 months with all our OS Reinstalls, i am having nightmares about it doing it over and over :P

    It is finally in a excellent state now though, all new hardware, ssd drive for the servers/OS, a decent enterprise western digital for storage and backups. hmm :)

    /happy

  9. Server has been back online for a few days now again. Much thanks to Genesis2001 for running NewMaps for a while :)

    Running on Windows 2012 R2 Essentials.

    We replaced the primary harddrive with a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD on which the NewMaps & Snipers servers are running off meaning extremely low loading limes :)

    The serverpc also boots up within a minute now :D

    Everything seems to run stable now again, i will however knock on the table for a bit: *knock knock* and hope it will stay this way.

    The low SFPS issue we were having for 2 days or so was due to a few settings hidden in windows's Group Policy and registry that were throttling the CPU.

    All good now i hope.

    Also, XWIS has been bitching tonight again and dropping the server 3 times so far, the next time it happens the server will boot in GameSpy (renlist only) mode for a while.

  10. Do this last, once you completed setting up the waypaths

    1) In the menu goto Pathfind->Discard Data

    2) In the menu goto Pathfind->Generate Sectors

    This will take a while depending on the size of your map.

    Protip: Monitor your LevelEdit.exe process in taskmanager, when it reaches 1.250MB RAM usage go back to the editor and CANCEL your pathfinding else there is a big risk the editor will crash.

    Protip2: BEFORE you start pathfinding: SAVE your level :)
