Its me once again... Ive went throught all the docs, unfortunatly im french and not that great with configs.. The doc itself does tell how to do a server, but for a "noob" like me, I dont get it at all !
"To start the server you must specify a config for it to load. This is done by adding the flag "-f" to the server start command, like this:
teeworlds_srv -f serverconfig.cfg"
If you have enough patience to help me, go ahead and reply 
1. create a shortcut of the teeworlds_sv.exe file in the same folder or anywhere you want
2. right click on that shortcut open properties window
3. in the target field after ...\teeworlds_srv.exe add: -f serverconfig.cfg
the result should look like ...\teeworlds_srv.exe -f serverconfig.cfg
4. press ok
5. start the server from the shortcut
That should do it
note: you have to have tha serverconfig.cfg in the same folder u have the teeworlds_sv.exe file
Thanks for the reply, "1. create a shortcut of the teeworlds_sv.exe file in the same folder or anywhere you want"
By this I guess you meant teeworlds.SRV, I did the shortcut and added -f serverconfig.cfg, but for some reason it wont work, says it's not valid, I do have my cfg file named serverconfig in the same folder, in it theres setting value/setting2 value2, I don't know if it's right, if not correct me
Another way to do it is to start cmd, use the command "cd" to get to you teeworlds-folder (ie. cd c:\games\teeworlds) and then start the server from there with "teeworlds_srv -f serverconfig.cfg".
what do you mean with "setting value/setting2 value2"?
could you copy your serverconfig.cfg and show it to us?
Another way to do it is to start cmd, use the command "cd" to get to you teeworlds-folder (ie. cd c:\games\teeworlds) and then start the server from there with "teeworlds_srv -f serverconfig.cfg".
Yes that's another way but that would be annoying start cmd everytime u wanna host, no?
On the other hand, I think I was totally lost with the serverconfig file, and that "setting value/setting2 value2" is all it haves inside lol....
Heres exactly what is typed in my shortcut target, "D:\Program Files\TeeWorlds\teeworlds_srv.exe -f serverconfig.cfg"
All the files are in the correct folder, keep saying its invalid
Also, a friend is trying to figure out also whats the problem, he did the same thing as i did... and it works for him...
the "" should include only the filename, not the flag.
another thing you could try is give the absolute path for the .cfg file, too, as you did for the exe
so the target would be:
"D:\Program Files\TeeWorlds\teeworlds_srv.exe" -f "D:\Program Files\TeeWorlds\serverconfig.cfg"
the "" should include only the filename, not the flag.
I dont know what this means but even when i remove the " adds it when I look back the target
I tried adding "D:\Program Files\TeeWorlds\teeworlds_srv.exe" -f "D:\Program Files\TeeWorlds\serverconfig.cfg"
, didnt worked, tried back and for some reason it worked... When I open the shortcut, window pop up and shot down right after, is it normal?
I updated my serverconfig , adding multiple command for CTF, all i need to work is the shortcut...
I'll guide you through this.
Create a file called "server.cfg" in the Teeworlds-directory. Make sure it ends on .cfg, not .cfg.txt. To check this, do the steps on http://www.fileinfo.net/help/windows-sh … sions.html (Windows XP) or http://malektips.com/windows-vista-show … sions.html (Windows Vista).
Now, enter your settings in this file, by opening it with a text editor such as notepad.
Create a shortcut to "teeworlds_srv.exe" in the same directory.
Right-click the shortcut and choose preferences. Add " -f server.cfg" to the shortcut address and then press Ok.
Now use the shortcut to start your server.

Thanks for trying to help out, but ive already tried those, as previous post stated, I still need to figure out why is the shortcut window is opening and closing immediatly 
I found out something... When typing "D:\Program Files\TeeWorlds\teeworlds_srv.exe" -f "D:\Program Files\TeeWorlds\serverconfig.cfg"
which Xara told me to, it worked but windows open and close right after. I tried back the normal way, "teeworlds_srv -f serverconfig.cfg", it didnt worked, I tried adding a " after teeworlds_srv and it works, but again windows open and close right after... Can anyone help out??
hi Knetog,
this is really easy to do
wrong !! "D:\Program Files\TeeWorlds\teeworlds_srv.exe" -f "D:\Program Files\TeeWorlds\serverconfig.cfg"
omg no.. ""teeworlds_srv -f serverconfig.cfg"" means that this: teeworlds_srv -f serverconfig.cfg is one file!
right: "D:\Program Files\TeeWorlds\teeworlds_srv.exe" -f serverconfig.cfg
-> -f serverconfig.cfg because the serverconfig.cfg is in the same folder like the server 
hope it helps
*edit*
dont forget :
working folder: "D:\Program Files\TeeWorlds\"
Changed it with exactly what you typed "D:\Program Files\TeeWorlds\teeworlds_srv.exe" -f serverconfig.cfg I can click OK but then it still open and close right after
whoooooooop .. post your config file pls

this is your teeworlds config? .. then forget -f serverconfig.cfg .. start the server .. it will load the default tw config
btw sv_map is missing
Forget the shortcut? If so I opened the teeworlds_srv.exe , loads and register correctly then what should happen?
but without tw config you won't be able to control your server...
In the cmd enter the following:
cd D:\Program Files\TeeWorlds\
so it will change the directory you are in.
then enter this:
teeworlds_sv -f serverconfig.cfg
this way you don't need to enter the whole path of the files
I guess that the port already is used or something like that. Check it up. If the server doesn't print anything more after registering and such, it works perfectly.
Here exactly what it says when opening the real teeworlds_srv.exe http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/4368/commandre6.png
I tried what u said K3nnY, after typing teeworlds_sv -f serverconfig.cfg it says "teeworlds_sv -f serverconfig.cfg is not recognized as an internal or external, an executable file commands."
... it's "teeworlds_srv", not "teeworlds_sv"
*teeworlds_srv.exe
I knew someone would of type back about it, i did tried with _srv, doesnt do much difference
