Breakdown:
-Customize configs
-Forward Ports
-Running server
## Customizing configuration files. ##
1-> Copy the "servinit.cfg" and "servexec.cfg" from data\examples to the root Red Eclipse directory. AKA beside server.bat
2-> Open the servinit.cfg file. If it is shown as only servinit, that is fine. your operating system is probably hiding the extension.
2.1-> Remove "// " from infront of the adminpass line.
2.1-> write the password inside the quotes to your liking.
2.2-> Remove "// " from infront of the serverport line.
2.2-> Edit the serverport to your liking. Remember this for later, will be need for Port Forwarding.
2.3-> IRC Settings. Below are the commands and how they are used.
ircfilter NUMBER
defines the way the colour-to-irc filter works; 0 = off, 1 = convert, 2 = stripircaddrelay name server.irc.net 6667 nickname
adds an irc server. name defines what the irc server's name is. server.ice.net defines what the server's DNS name is.
6667 is the default IRC port, nickname is what your bot's IRC nick will be.ircbind name 127.0.0.1
use this only if you need to bind to a specific address, eg. multihomed machines (ADVANCED)
ircpass name password
some networks can use the PASS field to identify to nickserv(ADVANCED)ircaddchan name "#lobby"
adds a channel to connect to
name is the same as in ircaddrelay.ircrelaychan name "#lobby" 3
relay everything but verbose messages
name is the as in ircaddrelay. #lobby is the channel name. "3" means that everything except the most verbose messages will be relayedircfriendlychan name "#lobby" IRC
another friendly name for the relay on this channel
name is the same as in ircaddrelay. #lobby is the channel name. IRC is the bot's friendly name for the channel.ircconnect name
name is the same as in ircaddrelay.
Sample IRC Settings:
ircfilter 1
ircaddrelay IRC NuclearFallout.WA.US.GameSurge.net 6667 RE-ServerBot
ircaddchan IRC "#moo"
ircrelaychan IRC "#moo" 3
ircfriendlychan IRC "#moo" IRC-CHANNEL
ircconnect IRC
3-> Open the servexec.cfg file.
3.1-> To use a command, you must remove the "// " from infront of it. this is commenting it out and making the server not detect it.
3.2->Import Commands to edit:
sv_serverclients 16
Maximum players on your server
sv_serverdesc "My server"
Server name in Server List
sv_servermotd "Welcome to my server!"
Message of the Day, shown when client connects.
4-> Forwarding Ports.
4.1-> Coming Soon. STFU!
5-> Running the server
5.1-> To run the server, all you must do is execute server.bat
More to come, First write up :P
