Re: Enlightment please

when I click on the srv. application and start the game i have an unnamed server which me and my friends can join, but have no idea how to change settings/maps

Re: Enlightment please

You make a .cfg file in your Teeworlds directory and write all the stuff in it. If you use widowns you can make such a file using Notepad, just make sure you don't save it as a .txt file (which is default in Notepad), but write .cfg in the end instead.

Then don't start the server by just doubleclicking on it. You need to start it in some kind of terminal (using a text command) so that you can tell it to use your .cfg file. In windows, I think the easiest way is to use Run in the start menu. You could also use cmd (the dos prompt).

When I start a server, I write this in the startmanu Run thingy:
c:\teeworlds-0.4.1-win32\teeworlds_srv -f dreamland.cfg

The "c:\teeworlds-0.4.1-win32\" part is the the searchpath to where the program is, it might be different for you. In a terminal you start a program simply by writing it's name, in this case "teeworlds_srv". The " -f dreamland.cfg" part tells teeworlds_srv that it should run using the config file called dreamland.cfg, replace dreamland with whatever you call your file.

Dreamy, that's just text-guide. He says that he's "not good at it" - so I think he should take a look on a guide or something.

But, nice explanation Dreamy.

I actually find it more convenient to have separate shortcuts to teeworlds_srv.exe in the Teeworlds Start menu folder, each with a different Target line parameter: -f DM.cfg, -f CTF.cfg and so on. In the same folder, I keep shortcuts to the actual .cfg files for quick editing.

Re: Enlightment please

Well, I tried to do it but somehow it doesn't work.
what I tipped into "run" :
c:\minigames\teeworlds-0.4.1-win32\teeworlds_srv -deathmatch_server.cfg
my deathmatch cfg. file:
Deathmatch_Server.cfg
sv_name Sample DM Server
sv_gametype dm
sv_warmup 10
sv_map dm2
sv_maprotation dm2 dm6
sv_max_clients 8
sv_scorelimit 20


any idea what's gone wrong?
when I press run it just runs the usual "unnamed server"

cheers

Re: Enlightment please

You missed the "f" in "-f deathmatch_server.cfg".
